Private schools are an attractive option for some students.
However, they can be as expensive as college, with annual tuitions in the tens of thousands of dollars. Financial aid for students attending private schools is scarce, but not impossible to acquire. Most such aid is provided by the schools themselves, so parents should contact the school and see if they offer any scholarships or other aid. The school will also know about any private scholarships received by their students in the past. Several lenders make loans available to parents to help them finance the cost of a private school education for their children.
