After reading how much money some parents are willing to shell out annually for schooling - something that is not a luxury, but a basic human need - you will be giddy! Knowledge is certainly not free, but some educational institutions slightly exaggerate. What are the most expensive schools in the world?
Education can be overwhelming for some students dear "sport". The wealthy class is willing to pay thousands of euros for their children's education, and unlike ordinary homes, which are characterized by modesty, children from wealthy families they educate in 5-star institutions with a quality school system (or at least that's what they promise), heated pools and jacuzzis.
In Slovenia, our schoolchildren receive such treatment they have not (yet) received, but also private schools with tuition fees are not as popular as elsewhere abroad. It's currently working for us six private primary schools (Waldorf School Ljubljana, Alojzij Šuštar Elementary School, Montessori Institute and Montessori Elementary School and Private educational institution Waldorf School Maribor, and LILA Institute), as well as private ones secondary schools, such as ERUDIO, high schools of the Catholic Church in Šentvid, Maribor, Želimlje and Vipava and Waldorf High School.
There is also something on the list private international schools, such as British, American and French International School - these are intended for foreigners, but can also be attended by Slovenian students, otherwise they are carried out curricula of their countries and those that are equivalent to programs in the network of international schools.
It is necessary to mention that, as far as the payment of school fees for students is concerned, it is mainly represented in Slovenia extraordinary (and some regulars) university programs, which in most cases require students to 5.500 euros per year.
If you were to guess, you probably wouldn't hit that the most expensive schools in the world are located in Switzerland. Their specialty is that they provide education at an international level, which in turn attracts schoolchildren (whose families are under their thumb) from all over the world. The majority of students who attend such schools comes from wealthy business families, whose business they will take over after obtaining the diploma.
