Here are some potential private schools for Archie and Lilibet, the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are currently raising them in Montecito.
Fortunately, there are a ton of fantastic schools in the Santa Barbara area, including two top-notch private options.
Since it first opened its doors in 1933, Laguna Blanca School has built a solid reputation for excellence. One of their impressive statistics is that all Laguna graduates enroll in colleges. According to their website, they “create meaningful experiences both inside and outside the classroom that are true to our mission and aid students in developing a sense of the world around them.”
Even though the annual tuition soars to an astounding $31,950, the quality of education is unquestionably excellent.
Additionally nearby is Crane Country School, which is probably a contender for the royal children to attend. It has been in operation since 1928 and has since amassed a prestigious clientele.
Seven students to one teacher in an average class of 15 students ensures that each child receives the proper care and assistance during lessons.
The school’s ethos is described on the website: “The goal of Crane Country Day School is to offer an experiential education that strikes a careful balance between intellectual challenge and artistic expression. We thrive as a community that promotes the joy of learning while fostering character and self-assurance.”
There are additional costs for trips and hot lunches on top of the annual tuition cap of $31,950.
The Duchess of Sussex explained why she preferred that her children attend school in the US over the UK in an interview with The Cut.
“Earlier in our conversation about her goals for the life she’s creating here, she’d remarked upon how, if Archie were in school in the UK, she’d never be able to do school pickup and drop-off without it being a royal photo call with a press pen of 40 people snapping pictures,” the interviewer, Allison P. Davis, wrote.
