The Tuition Trap: Hidden Fees That Empty Your Wallet

Private school contracts are packed with buried costs that appear after you've enrolled your child. These fees aren't accidents—they're designed to be overlooked.

  • Annual 'technology' and 'activity' fees that increase yearly
  • Mandatory 'parent participation' costs with financial penalties
  • Late payment penalties that compound unexpectedly
  • Disbursement fees for tuition payment plans that add 3-5%

"I was about to sign a contract with a $500 'late enrollment' penalty. The AI flagged it as non-standard. We negotiated it away."
