[quote=Anonymous]My family is also lower middle class and my child was lucky enough to get enough financial aid to be able to afford to send him to GDS for high school. We also were in your shoes, never thinking about sending our child to a private school until we just decided to apply to GDS and Sidwell. Sidwell accepted my son as well, but weren't able to give us enough money so we decided GDS. He is now a junior and loves it there. He is able to do a ton of clubs that give him free out of school experiences that we would not be able to afford without GDS' help. Also for all trips and anything that requires money GDS will give the same percent of financial aid as they do on your tuition on those trips. I guess in your case you might need to talk to the director of financial aid to see how that works with paying full tuition. My son has never felt alone or like he was the poor one as most kids there don't like to talk about their parents money (at least my sons friends). GDS really did welcome us with open arms and made us feel like we were part of the community even though we are not your typical private school family.[/quote]
