My daughter will be graduating from Catholic shool (grades 1-8) this year (tuition avg around 3,000-3,500 per year) High school is 9,000 next year at the Catholic High School that she was accepted in. Let me just say that it was worth EVERY PENNY and I look foward to spending 36,000 for High school. Serveral weeks ago, we were driving to dance and the Effing John Kerry was on the radio speaking about Martin Luther King (day) and my daughter turned to me and said this guy on the radio sounds very "royal" but that he has very bad english.... LOL I told her that was JK the guy who wanted to be president.
Do you only have 1 child?
Most of the average private schools around here (San Jose) are $10K, and the good ones are $20K. With 3 kids, that's $30K-60K a year. I keep on thinking I could homeschool them and then pay a private tutor to supplement what I am doing for much cheaper.
Hockey tuition this year for my 10 year old was 6,000 dollars. 4000 dollars to play, one thousand for the bus and one thousand for jerseys, jackets, bag and other things.
I hope my kid is smart enough to get a scholarship to a prep school.
