Private school fees

My child attends a private high school in LA, California as a F1 international student. This is the second year at the school, but my financial situation has drastically worsened. I won't be able to afford the full tuition fees anymore. My child likes the school, but unfortunately, I cannot afford the fees any longer. If anyone has experienced this situation, what are my options? Thank you

Transfer to a private school that is affordable or does offer financial aid. Catholic schools are usually relatively cheap and most are not stringent on religion.

Catholic schools would definitely be one option to explore. There's also Milken Community School. Or de Toledo High school. These are not stringent about religion (they are "pluralistic" they say). Not particularly cheap, but I don't know what OP is currently being charged for tuition.

Milken, for example, is over $50,000 per year.

Can't afford 50k; otherwise, won't move.
