New Jersey posted its 2025–26 private-school tuition rates, and many families noticed sharp jumps across a range of schools. The new numbers show clear increases for both elementary and high-school programs, with several schools raising annual costs by several hundred to a few thousand dollars.
School leaders pointed to rising expenses. They said utilities, staff pay, and transportation costs pushed their budgets higher this year. They also explained that some schools upgraded buildings or added support programs, which added to the new totals.
