If your DC attends a private elementary in NYC, are you asked to provide any school supplies at the beginning of the year? Either for your DC or for the class to share? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Seems wrong to me. We provide personal supplies for DD (her notebooks, etc.) but not the paper towels, soap, hand sanitizer type stuff. When she was in public school we did provide all that. [ Reply | More

Full tuition is 30K. A good percentage of the students are on some kind of financial aid, so this is a way to keep costs down. [ Reply | More

Yes, there is always a list of supplies for each grade, and you can also order this and pay in advance if you don't want to go shopping yourself, it's a PTA thing. [ Reply | More

No, none at all. I don't understand, if it's private, why can't they just include it in price of tuition? I understand they want to keep that number down, but really adding an extra $50 onto a price tag that is already $50,000 is not going to make anyone think differently of the tuition price.
