Description of service

This was the cost of tuition for my son's tuition, per month, at a private elementary school. This does not include uniform, supplies, trips etc. The cost of such varies dramatically from semester to semester. They also have class pictures, portraits, meals and other expenses.


Review of Service

The school offer many programs and lessons for the kids. From cooking to French. The class size averages to about fourteen students per class. My son's class size was around twelve. They teach a variety of lessons to the kids and attention is top notch. However, after one year with this school, we decided to move my son to our public school. As it turns out he was not able to keep up with there and had to stay back for one year. He seemed to be doing fine at the private school. It goes to show you that not all private schools are good. Not all the programs that they offer are necessary for every child.


Tips

Look at all options in deciding on which school for your children to attend, including public schools. It is very important to look at the costs involved. Not just the tuition and any stated costs, but also anticipate for unforeseen expenses like mentioned above. Costs could add up to quite a bit. Also each school has its own set of requirements, core values and teaching style. Therefore, a thorough research will help avoid having to move your child from one school to the next. This would, of course, help save money in the long run.
