Eliminating financial aid programs would lower tuition by at least $5k-10k per year at most private schools.

The government is already providing these kids with public school. Financial aid is an unnecessary expense.

This would ensure a complete lack of socioeconomic diversity in private schools, which I suspect is totally fine with you.

Schools should focus on the type of diversity they don’t have to pay for through financial aid.

The market disagrees with your view. Plenty of other full pay applicants out there willing to pay the going rate.

Give them a choice and find out for yourself. There is currently no way to opt out.

Oh really? Parents are involuntarily paying tuition to their schools?

At the major DC area privates, parents are paying at least $5k-$10k of their annual full pay tuition towards the financial aid programs and there is no way to opt out. Financial aid is a major part of the school’s budget despite the availability of public schools. The private school parents are being forced to pay for the classmates on financial aid.

Forced? Really?

You mean, like, at gunpoint?

If you don’t like it, public schools are available. No FA.

+1. Public schools are a great option for parents who are bitter about their private school’s practices.

If you want to know why tuition is so high, the answer is the financial aid program.

Not bitter just explaining this because the exact reason is well known.

If the entirety of Sidwell’s financial aid budget was applied instead as a tuition discount, it would knock about $8,750 off of tuition that currently runs $51-58k. Try again.

Jackpot. Almost $10k of tuition at Sidwell is due to the financial aid program. It is even higher elsewhere.

Lol. You said “if you want to know why tuition is so high.” If there was zero financial aid, it would still be ~$42-50k. Financial aid is not why it is high. And no, it is generally not higher elsewhere, Sidwell has very generous aid.

If $8,750 is so important to you, you should be at a public school. Or apply for financial aid

Would never qualify for financial aid myself. Just don’t want to be paying for kids that aren’t mine.

Ah, spoken like a typical self-involved A hole Sidwell parent ❤️

Wow, please tell me more about how you would like to spend my money. Nobody else is paying for my kids. Why should I have to bailout deadbeat parents who can’t even cover tuition?

You don’t have to. Unless you’re being “forced.” How are you being “forced”?

Full pay tuition at private schools includes $5k-$10k of tuition that funds financial aid. There is no way to opt out. It is a requirement of attending these schools.


For the responsible parents who are paying for their own children, they have to also cover for the financial aid parents. Many FA parents are pursuing underpaid, leisurely jobs while the real adults are paying their bills.

Our family receives financial aid. My husband and I both pursued “underpaid, leisurely jobs” so I guess we can’t be “real adults.”

I’m a private school teacher and he’s a police officer.

Such silly, pointless professions.

Actually those are good examples of low work hour and low effort jobs. As a private school teacher, part of your compensation should be a tuition discount so why would you need financial aid on top of that?

You should really try to boost your income so you can get off financial aid. In addition, shame on the both of you. I work 80 hours a week to support your barely 40 hour job.

NP here. Seek help. Please. But to be able to actually think and post those thoughts, there’s something so rotten at your core, that you’re likely unfixable.
To the teacher and police officer: thank you for your contribution to society and the amazing hard work you do to help all of us.

They can’t even pay their own bills and are relying on the school community to fund their children through financial aid.

They can go to public school. Problem solved.

That would solve the problem. They already rejected the taxpayer funded solution and want the school community to pay their bills instead.

The whole donation concept for private secondary schools is DUMB. Just charge the tuition necessary to operate. I never donate anything.

If daycare centers can do it, so can secondary schools. I’ve never received a donation requsdd from my daycare and it’s at least as expensive to operate per student as any private school.

Wise choice. In a free market economy there is freedom of choice, so we should be donating our money to the causes that convince us that they are making the world a better place, not increasing the bank account of an individual.

This is part of the reason we severely lowered our donation amount. Once we realized that how much the HOS was making and accounted for it being more than our local Superintendent for less work, it just didn’t make any sense.

I will just donate $1 so there is less money for the hos.

Short of that, this situation will not change.

Every time the head of school talks about fundraising and donations, just think what fraction of your donation goes to his pocket.

It’s a little bit like those ngos that do fundraising and most of the money people donate goes just to pay for administrative staff and very little money go to the actual cause.

Same with private schools. Donations go to a bloated administrative staff, including rich head of schools.
