            After factoring in inflation, her observation might work out to be $25-$30 /wk. In any case, I would think such things can be determined and adjusted as required after 2 weeks of school, and whether food is ex. is subjective and likely to be in line with other schools. So don't fret and not lose sight of the fact that allowing your child to happily immerse into the IP program is the priority.
