Methodology + data sources

Tuition figures: each school's published 2026 fee schedule (linked under each card on the school's directory page). Junior school fees (Prep–Year 6 / Year 7) projected at ~70% of Year 12 tuition where the school does not publish junior-specific figures, consistent with Australian private-school fee structures. Boarding fees: from the school's published schedule where available; otherwise marked "On enquiry". ICSEA: ACARA MySchool register. Sector + religion classifications: school's own descriptors. We do not estimate, average or fabricate any fee. Where a school does not publish a 2026 fee schedule, the entry shows "Fees on request" and is excluded from budget calculations. Data refreshed monthly. Last updated 11 June 2026.
