The Mississippi Supreme Court has stated that school tuition, at least in the context of college, is part of child support. See Mizell v. Mizell, 708 So.2d 55, 60 (Miss.1998). Any pre-college school requiring tuition in addition to what a public school education would cost should also be treated in this manner. Southerland v. Southerland, 816 So.2d 1004, 1006 (Miss. 2002). The Mississippi Supreme Court has also stated that even where parents agree to send children to private school, support awards made in consideration of this expense must also be reasonable in light of both parents' financial means. Cupit v. Cupit, 559 So.2d 1035, 1038 (Miss.1990).
