Boarding School Tuition Fees Australia

Tuition fees for Australian boarding schools vary depending on a number of factors including where the school is located and how prestigious the school is. The tuition fees are generally the same as the fees paid by day students with boarding students also paying a boarding fee.

To show the wide range of fees we have set up three examples of first a relatively inexpensive Catholic boarding school in regional NSW, then a more expensive prestigious boarding school in Melbourne, and thirdly the same school in Melbourne but showing the boarding fees for overseas students. We have also included the boarding fees for each of these examples.

Example 1 – Catholic Boarding School in Regional NSW Tuition Fees

This example shows the tuition fees for a relatively inexpensive Catholic boarding school in regional NSW. The location of this school a long way from Sydney would be one of the reasons it might be cheaper than boarding schools in the major capital cities.

Example 2 – Leading Melbourne Boarding School Tuition Fees for Local Students

This example shows the tuition fees at one of the leading Melbourne boarding schools. These fees would be similar to the fees for most of the leading boarding schools in the larger capital cities.
