把孩子送到马萨诸塞州顶尖的私立学校要花费多少钱?

【中美创新时报2024 年 11 月 15 日编译讯】(记者温友平编译)如果您想让孩子就读马萨诸塞州顶尖的私立走读或寄宿学校,您将花费一大笔钱。《波士顿环球报》记者Camilo Fonseca对此作了下述报道。

根据该州小学和中学教育部的数据,约有 66,000 名学生(约占该州学龄人口的 7%)就读州内私立和教区学校。虽然这一数字已从十年前的 78,000 名学生下滑,但一些社区(包括波士顿的几个郊区)近年来就读私立学校的学生比例有所上升,尽管马萨诸塞州的学龄人口继续下降。

尽管批评人士表示,私立学校将中等和高收入学生从公立学校中吸引出来,加剧了教育不平等,但许多家长还是更喜欢私立学校,因为私立学校有专门的课程或更高的学术标准,尤其是马萨诸塞州许多公立学校缺乏专门的“天才”项目。马萨诸塞州长期以来一直被视为全国最好的公立教育系统之一,但在选民决定取消将高中毕业与 MCAS 分数挂钩的要求后,该州公立教育系统的未来变得不确定——这一措施不顾该州许多最富裕社区的反对而通过。

其他家长可能更喜欢一些私立学校提供的文化或宗教基础。仅波士顿大主教区就有 93 所天主教学校,更不用说其他地区的数十所教区学校以及提供语言和文化浸入式课程的学校了。

进入私立学校的最大障碍可能是学费。除了一些相对便宜的选择外,马萨诸塞州大多数顶级私立学校每年的学费在 40,000 美元到 70,000 美元之间。在最负盛名的学校,如果没有经济援助,学费每年可能接近 80,000 美元,与顶级私立大学的学费相差无几。

这并不是说许多学生无法获得经济援助。大多数学校都提供一定程度的基于需求的学费援助,尽管金额可能因学生和学校而异。

Want to send your kid to a top private school in Mass.? Here’s how much it’s going to cost you.

By Camilo Fonseca Globe Staff,Updated November 15, 2024

A building on the campus of Milton Academy in Milton, Mass.David L. Ryan/Globe Staff

If you want your child to attend a top private day or boarding school in Massachusetts, it’s going to cost you a pretty penny.

Approximately 66,000 students, about 7 percent of the state’s school-age population, attend in-state private and parochial schools, according to the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. While that number has slipped from 78,000 students a decade ago, some communities, including several Boston suburbs, have seen the percentage of students enrolling in private schools climb in recent years, even as the school-age population in the Bay State continues to decline.

Though critics say private schools worsen educational inequality by drawing middle- and upper-income students out of public systems, many parents prefer them for their specialized curriculums or what they see as higher academic standards, especially since many public schools in Massachusetts lack dedicated “gifted” programs. And the future of the state’s public education system, long seen as one of the best in the nation, is uncertain after voters moved to eliminate a requirement tying high school graduation to MCAS scores — a measure passed over the opposition of many in the state’s wealthiest communities.

Other parents may prefer the cultural or religious grounding provided by some private schools. There are 93 Catholic schools in the Boston Archdiocese alone, not to mention dozens of other parochial schools elsewhere and schools with language- and cultural-immersion programs.

Perhaps the largest barrier to entry is affordability. Aside from a few comparatively affordable options, most top private schools in Massachusetts cost between $40,000 and $70,000 a year. At the most prestigious institutions, the cost can approach $80,000 a year without financial aid, not far from the cost of top private colleges.

That’s not to say that financial aid isn’t available for many students. Most schools offer some degree of need-based tuition assistance, though the dollar amounts can vary widely depending on the student and the school.

Here are the annual listed tuition costs at some of the best-known private schools in Massachusetts:
