[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] the  990's posted are 5 years old. They don't  inform anyone of what is going on today. Tuition has nearly doubled since the period those old 990's reflect.

Someone keeps posting this.  Which of these schools charged only $16,000 five years ago?  [/quote]

In 2006-2007 the St. Albans tuition was $26,000.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/02/AR2006040201369.html  This upcoming year, 7 years later, it will be $37,000, for an increase of $11,000 over a seven-year period.

Tuition in 2008 at Sidwell Friends was $29,400 for the Upper School.  This year it was $34,400, for an increase of $5000 over four years.

Under Ad Hominem Hover McRant's argument, tuition at St. Albans should be over $52,000 next year, and tuition at Sidwell something like $50,000.

I don't know why he/she does not use the revolutionary tool called "Google" before making statements so clearly provably false.  It undercuts her/his main point (which many agree with), which is that the rates of increase, if not as Brobdingnagian as she/he claims, are not sustainable in the long haul.[/quote]
