Abstract

The article discusses the rising costs of private school tuition in the United States, with annual averages approaching $50,000. According to a report by S&P Global Ratings, day school tuition increased by 3.6% to $48,922, while boarding school tuition rose by 3.5% to $75,466. Despite these increases, enrollment grew at nearly two-thirds of the rated private schools, which are adapting by modernizing facilities and services to remain competitive amid a declining school-age population and increased competition from alternative educational options. The report also highlights financial challenges faced by some boarding schools, with many considering the viability of their programs due to rising operational costs. [Extracted from the article]
