To me, this doesn't make sense. If you have the money to pay private school tuition for 12 (or 13 years including kindergarten), you might as well use that money toward the house. And especially if you have more than one child, this makes even more sense. The tows with the top rated school systems do not lose value the same way other towns do when housing prices fall - so you are also more likely to keep that investment. Whereas your private school tuition is gone forever. So unless you want a private school for reasons other than a good education (religious affiliation, etc), seems to make sense to just put that money toward a house.
