Do you know if there is going to be any change in the international schools prices due to the new economical situation?

You mean up or down?

If you mean up there is a possibility.
If you mean down, I think its impossible.

The last I understand from our Board, there will be no increase in my school's for the next academic year.

Well... I meant down!

I would not count on it actually.

With the weakenss in the pound I would like to think the UK schools might at least not go up!

And admit that all along they have been gouging the parents?

From a commercial point of view, remembering that most are a "for-profit" school, I guess it would depend on how enrollments have been affected. Are there a few less students than 12mths ago, or is it around 100 less students?
ie. a small impact on business or a massive impact? And if it is a massive impact, can the business sustain that level for the next 12mths....given that the chance of many "new students" coming to China would be quite low.

Time will tell.....

Hey guys, how much does it cost per year for your child to attend an average international school in Shanghai?

Students I've taught (private tutoring) pay anywhere from US$14k-$20k per year, depending on which school it is. Thats for high school age - not sure about the lower years (primary). Its a bit cheaper.

There are also international schools in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo - which are a bit cheaper than in Shanghai - but they are still in the US$10-15k area.
