Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1220

"But how long can they afford the tuition? And the daughters of ordinary families have to help out at home to make a living. Studying doesn't exactly bring in money," Violet asked.

Carissa thought for a moment. "That money's not insignificant. It should last a year or two. We can't waive the fees entirely, but we could lower them. Maybe offer half-day classes, so the girls can still help their families with work in the afternoon." She paused, considering the possibilities.

"And don't forget about the merchants. They won't be stingy with their money. The constraints of rules and propriety are less strict for them."

Violet nodded. "That's true. Unless they're from a noble family or are royal merchants, ordinary merchants often let their women handle business affairs."

"Even ordinary families might send their daughters. Partly because of Mr. Spencer's reputation, but also because many can't afford to send their sons to school. If their daughters can attend an academy with low tuition, it's worth it, even if it's just so their daughters can help teach their brothers to read and write when they return," Catherine added.

Carissa nodded, agreeing with the point. Inwardly, though, she couldn't help but admire Victoria for turning the situation to her advantage.
