[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also kind of frustrating about Sidwell --[b] some private schools charge lower tuition for the lower grades, in line with the lower costs associated with those years.  Not at Sidwell.  All students, regardless of grade, are the same tuition.  The effect, thus, is that during the lower school years, parents subsidize the upper grades.[/b] If your child stays there throughout their education, I suppose that it evens out -- you'll later be subsidized by the younger kids' tuition.

I agree with your point about the lower grades paying a relatively exorbitant tuition.  At least in the upper school you receive the benefit of advanced classes and counseling to prepare your student for good colleges and universities.
