Hi there, does anyone have a list of the most expensive day schools (high schools) in the US? I feel like it would be good to know what some of the upper limits are for school fees, even if I'm not particularly looking to go to one of these.
Hello, it sounds like you're seeking information about the cost of private day schools in the U.S. Tuition for top private schools can indeed be quite high. Here are a few with significant tuition costs:
1. Salisbury School (CT): At around $55,500 per year for day students, Salisbury School is one of the most expensive day schools in the country
2. Lawrence Academy (MA): This school, located in Groton, Massachusetts, charges day students about $48,000 annually.
3. The Hotchkiss School (CT): Day students at this Lakeville, Connecticut school pay approximately $49,200 per year.
4. The Thacher School (CA): This Ojai, California school comes at about $37,500 in annual tuition for day students.
5. St. Albans School (DC): Day students at St. Albans in Washington D.C. pay a tuition close to $46,000 per year.
6. Horace Mann School (NY): Horace Mann, situated in Bronx, New York, charges around $52,000 yearly for day students.
Please bear in mind that the costs listed include tuition and fees but typically do not cover optional costs such as extracurricular activities, textbooks, and so on. Also, many of these schools offer financial aid packages that can greatly reduce the cost of attendance for eligible students.
