FYI, as someone whose kids all attend private schools, let me tell you that almost all private schools have endowment funds, and gala fundraisers, all of which go to supplement the tuition. we have received calls every year from Visitation, and now Gonzaga, asking for donations to the annual fund on top of already hefty tuition. xsteen will be solicited for her OWN donation to Visitation, next year, her first year in college. so yes, public schools are grossly inefficient in their money management, private schools do a much better job, but tuition is not the only $$$ paying the frieght at these schools.

It's "Madeira" and that's cheap. I just checked this year's tuition for boarding students at my prep school - $41,535. Maybe the fees at Madeira were just for day students.
