And You Think Your School Is Expensive?

Michelle Obama toured around the Capitol this week to find the perfect school for 10-year-old Malia and seven-year-old Sasha to attend. Take a look at some of the top contenders below and you will notice that there is no budget when it comes to a White House education.

Georgetown Day School

This school is housed on two seperate campuses and enrolls students from Pre-K to High School. Its mission is to "encourage our students to wonder, to inquire, and to be self-reliant, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning." The cost? More than $27,000 a year.







Maret School

The Maret school is located in the heart of D.C. and houses K-12 all on one campus. The school was founded in 1911 and prides itself on being "organic, fluid, not limited to clocks, schedules, and facilities." Tuition here will run about $26,000 a year.






Sidwell Friends School

Based entirely on Quaker values, Sidwell Friends School is where Chelsea Clinton attended while her father was in office. Their philosophy: "Above all, we seek to be a school that nurtures a genuine love of learning and teaches students "to let their lives speak." This is the most expensive of the three school, running about $29,000 a year.
