[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish these threads would not devolve into crossfire over "people having a right to private education." Is anyone even making that claim?

The question most people are asking is, "How do I size up what I can / ought to be able to afford." And: "What do the schools expect / offer?"

Given the high cost of living in the region, these are fair questions.[/quote]

Thank you for your kind response and others likewise.  We don't need to get mean on here guys.  And to clarify I meant to say "DC region" for a house but it's actually Northern VA where we bought our place.

We don't have anything fancy- no fancy cars- nothing.  We  scrape by in this city and did so even before buying a house.  We saved for over a decade. It's an expensive city.  bUt we don't need character judging.  Different people and priorities are different to different people. I am just asking if we would qualify :)

Anyway, some SSS site was mentioned.  Sorry to be naive.  What is this site? Would you be able to provide an address for it? I would love to put in our numbers.

Thanks so much [/quote]

School and Student Services is here: http://sssbynais.org/parents/.  The financial aid office of the school I was curious about uses this system, but some school use other services.

You do have pay the $49 fee (and also risk one school seeing the data, since you have to list a school to complete it). I listed the school I didn't think we could afford. Ran the numbers. Released we likely don't qualify. Deleted the school selection and went (I hope) incognito.
