[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - thanks for all the comments and insight everyone. Yes life is about choices that is for sure. We feel (rightly or wrongly) that high school is the most important and so wanted to be sure we could afford private when that comes around. Of course we'll be saving for college as well. I just don't feel comfortable with our savings being so depleted while starting down this path. For folks who spend the vast majority of their income on private school can I ask how much you all have in emergency savings? [/quote]

Backloading your costs into high school and college means you have more time to save and you're making more when the big bills come due. CHDS is a fine school but not worth 10 years of financial strain, assuming you have a decent public option. Even if you did get some financial aid, you're still looking at a huge price tag over a long period of time. Your instincts are right: save your pennies for private high school, especially if you plan to stay in NE DC. [/quote]
