Best Private School If You Want Your Kid to Go to Harvard

Sidwell Friends School

For students who set their sights on Harvard or Yale, Sidwell Friends provides ample opportunity to succeed, parents say. Strong academics, lots of extracurricular activities, opportunities to travel abroad—plus the private school’s Quaker philosophy—all contribute to a well-rounded education for a tuition of $32,069.

“If you grab those opportunities and focus on your schoolwork, of course you’re going to get to Harvard,” says Carmen Everett of Silver Spring, whose son is a senior at the Washington, D.C., school. “Everything is there.”
