Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise underwent a high-profile divorce, seeking media attention from across the globe. As brutal as it may sound, paparazzi have been more interested in knowing about their daughter, Suri Cruise, who became an instant target of the media. Having lived an attention frenzy childhood, her mother has made every effort to protect her while Tom Cruise remained distant from his daughter’s life.

‘Posh School’ Is The New ‘Normal’ For Katie Holmes!
From being a protective mother to taking control over her daughter’s career, Katie Holmes has remained buckled up when it comes to Suri Cruise. Since Holmes divorced Tom Cruise in 2012, ending five and half years of marriage, Suri Cruise remained the most curious subject for the media. The First Daughter actress, on the other hand, has taken every step to provide her with a normal childhood.
Katie Holmes homeschooled her daughter until the age of 6. Since their divorce, Tom Cruise has distanced himself from his daughter, and their relationship remains sour to date. Katie Holmes single-handedly raised her daughter, homeschooling her until the age of 6. But then, her idea of giving her a normal childhood rested on the fact that Suri Cruise be enrolled in a posh NYC school.

Rumors aired that Holmes’ daughter would be sent to the Convent of the Sacred Heart Catholic School in NYC, but in 2012, Holmes sent her to the Manhattan Avenues The World School. During her enrollment, the fees of this elite school were around $40,000, plus $2000 for fees and technology. As of 2023-2024, the tuition fees for this elite school stand at $65,850 a year.
While less is known about Tom Cruise’s daughter, she continues to remain a non-believer in Scientology. Fans often ask why her Academy-Award-winning dad remained distant from her daughter. During his deposition in a defamation case, Cruise admitted that his “relationship with the Church of Scientology had played a large role in why he was distanced from his child’s life.”
Not only this, but Cruise also admitted that Holmes ended their relationship to protect their daughter from Scientology. Katie Holmes may have devoted all her time to Suri Cruise’s privacy, but now is the time for her to shine bright. The 16-year-old has reportedly applied to a lot of universities, but Katie Holmes is trying to convince her to live in New York. An insider said:
“Suri is applying to schools all over the place. [Katie] really does want her to stay in New York so they can be close to each other. Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective.”

As for Suri’s dreams, one cannot say if she’d like to pursue her father’s footsteps who remained absent all her life, or follow her mother, who is making her directorial debut with Rare Objects, an adaptation of Kathleen Tessaro’s novel. But what’s known is that she loves to sing, and it would be fun to see her pursue a degree in music. But “Where?” This is a choice only the mother-daughter duo can make!
