Lawrence Academy competes against other selective college preparatory schools' sports teams around the greater Boston area
With the start of the new school year comes an inevitable rise in tuition -and we're not just talking about
the price of college.
This year, more than thirty private high schools in the U.S. are charging more than $40,000 in tuition, with the most expensive exceeding $46,000 - more expensive than many colleges.
But with premium costs come premium perks like iPads, state-of-the-art athletic and learning facilities, and clubs for every interest imaginable.
We calculated the most expensive private schools based on day student tuition plus mandatory fees (including one-time fees, where listed). Boarding-only schools and schools for students with special needs were not included.
