In my country of origin private education is somewhat affordable and most of the middle class can reach it. Of course, there’s a wide variety of private schools and prices. I had the chance of being educated in one of those. And also my eldest son stated his education in Argentina in a private school.
Most of the times, the education level is good. I suppose that private schools in Argentina grew just because the level of the public education system has been awfully bad in the last twenty something years.
A few days ago I found a pamphlet at the office’s cafeteria. It was from a private school in Kanata (that’s part of the City of Ottawa, around 25 kilometers from downtown). I got curious and decided to take a look at the website and find out the tuition fee.
Are you curious? Don’t look to the picture below and say a prize. Now scroll down. The screenshot was taken from Counterpoint Academy > Admissions > Tuition Fees.
12 thousand dollars tuition fee for a Private Elementary School
And it looks like that’s the low-mid range only!
So after watching this I started to wonder about the rest of the private schools in the region.
This is what I found:

It looks like Counterpoint was not that expensive after all!
How about other cities?
Knowing that we have some readers at the Montreal and Toronto areas, I decided to get a screenshot for them too…

If you are curious about other cities in Canada, take a look at ”Our Kids“. It’s the website I used to research all this.
Surprised? I wonder how much should your income be to be able to face such an education cost!
