You Get What You Pay For...Hopefully

I just happened to notice the tuition fees at St. John's International School, an American-styped private school here in Waterloo.  This is the school where I helped out a couple of years ago in their youth production of The Canterbury Tales.  By all appearances, it is an excellent school with great facilities and staff.  And well it should be.
This year's tuition, for a high-schooler, is just over $40,000 per year.  If you'd like to tack on a bus ride to and from school every day, just within the town of Waterloo proper, it's another $3,780.  I wonder what Harvard and Yale are charging these days.  For parents with graduating seniors here in Waterloo, either of these might suddenly seem like a bargain.
