If they are highschool age, then kids mostly go to private schools outside of the area. Catholic schools like Saints (all boys), OLP (all girls), or Cathedral (coed). These 3 all cost around $10,000 to $11,000 per year. So, about $1,000 per month.[/quote]
Just checked out all 3 schools. OLP is $11,260/yr., Saints is $11950/yr., and Cathedral is $11,675/yr. These rates are paid in full beginning of the year. Monthly rate will be higher. Much more reasonable than LJCD, Bishop’s, or Francis Parker (which are $22k+). I’m not sure how OLP, Saints, and Cathedral compares to LJCD, Bishop’s, or Francis Parker. But there must be a reason why the later 3 can charge 2X as much and still have students. Even at $11k, that’s ~$135k for 1 kids over 12 years (excluding pre-school and kindergarten). It would be more economical to just buy in PQ or RB if you have more than 1 kid.[/quote]
Bishops and Francis Parker are known for a high rate of Ivy League acceptance.
I went to the open houses for OLP, Saints, and Cathedral with my sister a few months back since her kids are going to HS soon. Saints and OLP are more competitive for admissions than Cathedral at this point, but Cathedral is a new and larger school. Cathedral also seemed to drill to parents that they are a Catholic school and that everyone had to take religion courses, but i did get the sense that it was a bit more relaxed than the others.
