what do boarding schools for regular kids range in price?
I as read you mean for kids who aren't on a scholarship,
In Australia, its a little different, because boarding is usually an option for kids who current in the country, or because they have demanding schedules. Not preparatory or anything.
I went to boarding school at a Sydney girls school, fairly well known- and it cost my parents $12 000 a year. It would be higher in the states, and depending on where the school is, how well known it is and most significantly, what it offers.
Clearly, the more it offers and the fancier the accomodation, the more
expensive.
I know that England has some schools that offer tuition and boarding on a sliding gamut, which means it can be free if the parents don't earn much.They are some of England's best (Blue Coat, or charity schools).
We don't have them in Australia, but you could look into them for the states.
