Hi there. Doing a little homework about future steps. I was curious if anyone knew about the most expensive private high schools in Texas? I'm just trying to get a broader understanding of schooling costs.
Hello! In Texas, private high school tuition rates can vary widely, sometimes from $5,000 up to $60,000 a year depending on the institution. However, some of the most expensive tend to be located, unsurprisingly, in the Austin, Dallas, and Houston metro areas.
Here are some examples, but remember that tuition fees can change and may vary based on factors such as boarding versus day attendance and financial aid/scholarship offerings:
- St. Stephen's Episcopal School in Austin charges around $75,400 per year for boarding students and around $40,600 for day students.
- St. John's School in Houston: Around $35,535 (Day School).
- Greenhill School in Dallas: Approximately $39,370 per year.
- The Hockaday School in Dallas: Tuition can top $32,000 per year.
Remember that these are only base costs and do not include additional expenses like uniforms, books, and other miscellaneous expenses. If cost is a concern, many of these schools have financial aid and scholarship programs available. Be sure to check each school's financial aid page on their website for more information.
