I think it's also important to point out that faculty often get remission or financial aid in grades that the public does not get financial aid in. For example, preschool grades.

I think maret is 50%?

So does Potomac.

Sidwell has a larger endowment and does not offer tuition remission.

Bullis 75% discount

How does this policy affect continuing aid? For example, in an economic downturn, would these staff members get funded over an unconnected returning financial aid recipient?

Oh good grief

Regardless of need? Wow. I am an independent school teacher and don’t qualify for aid because of my partner’s salary. The school will discount the teacher’s salary when factoring in aid qualifications. I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, I’m ok with that money going to a child who has greater needs. On the other hand, I would have been far more likely to send my child to the school where I teach if I had 50% remission. I think it’s good for the culture, particularly if the money comes from a different bucket that’s dedicated to, say, teacher retention/recruitment etc. It’s good for all students to have a committed, stable teaching force full of educators who are rooting for their school’s success because they’re part of the community in more than one way. Happy teachers make for happy students. Heavy turnover is bad for students. My one caveat is that the school cannot admit kids who won’t be successful in the particular setting, as that sets both the teacher and the child up to fail. I also recognize that some schools simply don’t have the endowment to pull this off.

NcS is one of the schools that doesn't factor in a faculty member's salary when calculating financial aid. There is no tuition remission. StA, on the other hand, does offer tuition remission because it has a significantly larger endowment to pull from.

Congrats, let's pop the cherry of a whole new generation of innocent teacher wannabes who thing their children will get a free ride if they manage story time for 7 year olds.

I was with you until your last sentence.. You shouldn't have children in school if you think that all their teacher does is 'manage storytime.". You've effectively pissed off educators everywhere.

NCS rarely does. There's no guarantee.

I believe you're wrong. There's a significant % of remission plus you can apply for financial aid (suppressing employee salary from equation). Meeting criteria for admission is another thing.

St Albans has the money, not NCS
