I've heard that New Jersey has some of the most expensive private high schools in the country. Any New Jersey natives or students who can tell me which school holds that title?
While the exact ranking can fluctuate each year based on a variety of factors like tuition increases and selective financial aid offers, the Lawrenceville School is widely known as one of the most expensive private high schools in New Jersey.
Located in Lawrenceville, the school charges a hefty tuition to offer a world-class education and a host of facilities for its students. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated tuition for boarding students is over $79,500 per year, and for day students, it's over $64,420.
It's worthwhile to remember that many private schools have robust financial aid programs. While sticker prices can be high, many families do not pay the full cost. Always research a school’s financial aid policy before ruling it out based on cost alone.
