[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stuff in this thread is BS.  Here are the real reasons it is more expensive?

1. Episcopal schools are better than Catholic schools -- hands down.  There will be exceptions and the top Cathoic High Schools are great but the Episcopal schools have better teachers, pay them more and have less turnover.

2. Episcopal schools do not by and large get ANY money from the church.

3. They have a different mission.  Episcopal schools are not trying to be all things -- they are looking to educate mostly mainstream kids, mostly middle, UMC, and rich.

4. They do not view the parish schools are who they are competing against.  They view their rivals as the other ind private schools.  That is why they spend more.

5. Better extras -- sports (except for the big Catholic HSs); Theater, Robotics, etc.

No one missed math class for math at either.  All built into the schedule as a PP said.  Both have mass so not sure there is a difference there.[/quote]

Broad generalizations, mostly false.[/quote]

I think this hits the nail on the head.  Because Episcopal schools aren’t subsidized by the church, tuition is higher.  With this higher tuition, comes higher expectations and there are typically lower teacher to student ratios, more extras and nicer facilities.  Most of the families we UC, UMC or LC on scholarship.  You see virtually no MC.
