What private schools have the priciest tuition in central Ohio? Here's the top 15
What's the most expensive private school in central Ohio? A private school is a school that is not administered or funded by the government, in contrast to a public school or charter school. In Franklin County, approximately 14% of students are in private school, The Dispatch previously reported. Many of central Ohio's private schools have differing rates that get more expensive as the student gets older. The price tag doesn't account for factors like student aid offered by the school, state aid for special needs students or the state's expansion of its universal EdChoice voucher program. Many central Ohio private schools have a higher tuition rate than in-state tuition costs for Ohio public colleges and universities, with Ohio State University costing $13,244, Ohio University costing $14,158 and the University of Cincinnati costing $6,988. This list only includes ranges for high school-aged students from ninth grade to twelfth grade, although private schools typically have lower tuition rates for younger grades. This list was compiled by reviewing the tuition fees listed on the schools' websites. Here's the private high schools in central Ohio with the priciest tuition: Columbus Academy (Gahanna): $34,300 to $37,100 Columbus School for Girls (Columbus): $32,100 to $33,700 Marburn Academy (New Albany): $34,385 Wellington School (Columbus): $32,000 to $33,000 St. Charles Preparatory School (Columbus): $15,950 Worthington Christian (Westerville): Upper school (grades 7-9) $13,229 to upper school (grades 10-12) $14,699 St. Francis DeSales High School (Columbus): $13,600 Tree of Life Christian School (Columbus): $13,040 Bishop Watterson High School (Columbus): $12,000 Madison Christian School (Groveport): $11,325 Genoa Christian Academy (Westerville): $11,000 Liberty Christian Academy (Pataskala): $10,645 Northside Christian School (Westerville): $10,430 Bishop Ready High School (Columbus): $10,300 Shekinah Christian School (Plain CIty): $9,995 Cole Behrens covers K-12 education and school districts in central Ohio.

Two Ayr school pupils earn place at London final of fashion competition
Sophie and Eva impressed judges with their sustainable design. Two pupils at Ayr's Wellington School have earned a place in the London Final of Junk Kouture, a nationwide competition that celebrates creativity and sustainability. The challenge encourages students to design and construct high-fashion outfits entirely from recycled materials, blending artistic expression with environmental consciousness. This year, Sophie and Eva, impressed judges with their imaginative and thoughtful design: a striking ensemble comprising a corset, skirt, and accessories made from discarded materials. Their outfit incorporates repurposed ribbons from old horse-riding rosettes, CDs, feathers, magazines, and newspaper, all creatively transformed into a cohesive and eye-catching design. Inspired by Global Goal 13: Climate Action, their work highlights the devastating impact of deforestation on wildlife, particularly birds, and the urgent need to protect natural habitats. The centrepiece is a corset formed from layered newspaper and expertly paper-mâchéd over a tinfoil mould. It combines structure with an organic aesthetic and has been vividly painted and adorned with handcrafted details to create a unique visual effect. Now finalists in London, Sophie and Eva are in the running to be selected among the top 10 UK designs that will go on to represent the country at the 2025 Junk Kouture World Final. Mrs Joyce Morton, Head of Art, commented: "We are so proud of Eva and Sophie making the London UK final of Junk Kouture. "The competition is open to students aged 12 to 18 from schools across the country so making the UK final when only S2 is an amazing achievement. "Junk Kouture is an incredible opportunity for schools to engage students in sustainability, creativity and innovation. It challenges young people to think differently, work collaboratively and express themselves through fashion all while highlighting the importance of environmental responsibility."
