Private School
Relocation · Reinvent NY glossary
Private schools in the US are independently funded through tuition, endowments, and donations. Tuition ranges from $15,000-$60,000/year — elite NYC schools like Dalton, Trinity, and Horace Mann charge $55,000-$62,000/year. Advantages include smaller class sizes (8-15 students), specialized curricula, extensive extracurriculars, and strong college placement records. Admissions is competitive and typically involves applications (due November-January), student interviews, and parent interviews. Many schools offer financial aid. For relocating families, private schools often provide more flexibility with mid-year enrollment and ESL support.
