In the U.S., a year of private school tuition costs $12,350 on average. But the average cost doesn’t have to be the cost you pay.
Several years ago, I wrote a piece for Money Crashers on the relative costs of private and public school for your kids. This year, my editors had me split that older piece in two. The first part now offers a broader comparison of the pros and cons of public and private schools, weighing factors like class size, teacher qualifications, and extracurricular activities as well as cost. And a new companion piece delves more deeply into private school costs and ways to minimize them. It discusses how to find lower-cost private schools, apply for scholarships and aid programs, negotiate tuition costs, and apply for loans. If you're a parent interested in private school but anxious about the cost, this piece is for you.
