Most affordable boarding schools in Australia

How this list is ranked

Boarding is charged on top of tuition, so the total annual cost is tuition + boarding. The most affordable boarding tends to be at regional and faith-based schools; elite metropolitan boarding can exceed $40,000 on top of a $40,000+ tuition. Always confirm what the boarding fee includes (meals, weekend programs, laundry).
