I don’t understand the issue:

If money is no object, then who cares.

If money is an object, than your money is better off spent on spending an extra year (maybe two) in Kollel with your husband. (assuming that is what you want by the time you finish high school). 25K can go a long way, even when you are married.

Two exceptions:

1: where the father wants his daughter to “be brainwashed” (for lack of a better term), where sem MAY accomplish that.

2: Where the child needs to get away from home in a semi-supervised place, such as when she needs to grow up. In those cases, Manchester (or other Sem in Europe) or Baltimore (or any other US seminary)if you don’t live there will do the job. She may even become more into yiddishkeit than if she went to Israel.

If you just want her to have the “Israel experience”, take a vacation with the family (or just her), it will cost less.
