It's No Secret

78. Public Schools VS Private Schools

June 11, 2024 Catherine Emerson & Christine Jensen Season 4 Episode 78

Today we’ll be chatting about whether private schools are “worth” the investment.

We'll look at both the cost of sending your children to private school vs public, and weigh up some potential pros and cons of doing so.

Disclaimer: the school you send your child to is very personal to your family, the child and your financial situation. This is not for us to tell you what to do, nor is this to enforce our views, but more to shed light on factors that might sway you from a financial standpoint.

Specifically, we chat about:

  • What is the most expensive private school in NZ
  • How free is it *really* to go to a public school
  • The average costs of each option and how much you may end up spending through years 9-13
  • Outside factors to consider such as connections, class sizes and quality of learning 

And much more!
