Tuition Increases

The top private schools in New York City plan to charge more than $70,000 this year for tuition—an amount that exceeds that of many elite colleges. Schools are passing on the costs of soaring expenses, including higher teacher salaries.

• Schools hitting the $70k mark: Spence School, Dalton School, and Nightingale‑Bamford School on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, along with at least four other institutions, according to school disclosures and Bloomberg reporting.
• Median tuition increase: 4.7 % across 15 private schools, outpacing inflation.
• Historical context: Median tuition was $39,900 in 2014; prices have risen dramatically over the past decade.
