Yikes! Those rates are sinful. Catholic school should not be out of reach of any student. Although not really cheap here in Philly, the average family, who may have to make a few sacrifices, can send their kids to Catholic school. High school may require the student to get a summer job to help pay tuition, but I don't think that's unreasonable. But $10,000! Outrageous! They are literally forcing committed Catholics to homeschool their children.
Dear old and tired,
"They are literally forcing committed Catholics to homeschool their children."
LOL. You got that right.
It is outrageous. It's not as bad at the elementary school level, where many schools offer tuitions in the range of about $3000 or so per year, and many schools have pretty good multi-child discounts.
It is discouraging, though, to see the burdens that Catholics with large families must bear to provide a Catholic education for their children. Having sat on a scholarship committee for Catholic families, I can tell you that I have been amazed at the commitment and sacrifice that some families have made.
But the bottom line is that most large Catholic families committed to a Catholic education do homeschool.
