Costs and Benefits of Private Schools

Posted on August 4, 2012June 14, 2018

Are you considering sending your child to private school but wondering if the price tag is worth it? Tuition at a private school is a big ticket item, but the cost can be a worthwhile investment in your child’s future. A private school education comes with benefits you won’t find at your local public school.

In this video, discover the advantages private schools have over public education. You will hear the various reasons parents choose private schools, including increased academic rigor, small class sizes, and more structure. You will also find out why attending a private school may give your student the edge in college admission over a public school student with a similar record.

At Orinda Academy, your child will experience all of the benefits a private education has to offer. We provide a challenging college prep curriculum, and our graduates go on to succeed at some of the top schools in the country. Call Orinda today at (925) 254-7553 to learn more about our academic programs and to schedule a school visit.
