@@enzobrown9208 The vicissitudes of life will seem to be painful and draining most times, but throwing away the towel so easily is never the mindset of any successful champion
Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing, Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.
Their education makes a huge difference because it builds them for leadership and they learn literature which the affluent use as reference. It shapes them.
@@cherylbristol5144NO because knowing someone doesn’t mean that they’ll lift a finger for you. You have to know how to talk to them, engage them and be considered one of them.
@@AshnesssYou get it. But, remember, most Never will. They can't. Especially when the curriculum they're being taught today is garbage. You know what GIGO is, right? It's not just for computers, for what is the human mind but a biological computer? And even computers are different according to the User. That can make all the difference
It is worth sending your child to best school, but never rely only on school education, parents must foster their children themselves by developing strong sense of family
Sending their children to such schools, leading the child to live in a bubble, not knowing how the real world looks like . And the irony is that those children will be the future leaders
I went to one of those schools in Europe for high school in the 60's. Showed my granddaughter pictures and she really thought I went to Hogwarts. That impressed her and we had some fun around that. That alone made my experience worthwhile.
@@kofiZayn777 No, just lucky my father worked for a company that needed his skills and paid the tuition because there was no high school where he was stationed in Africa.
Oh, and he was accepted by his peers? I doubt it. I’m not even anti rich. I’ve meet ridiculously rich people that are open and welcoming, inclusive. Great friends. But once the conversation veers over into which golf course in Scotland is best, it’s impossible to fully participate. I usually just ask a lot of questions. It’s interesting and everyone likes talking about themselves and their stories
@@debbylou5729 .. Those who are not lucky enough to be ultra rich yet get a chance to be admitted in these kinda' schools are most likely to have other factors to be there; like intellectuality, extracurricular, etc. .. but indeed, they may find themselves alienated very often among those crowds & conversations.
After graduating from Culinary School, I decided to work with a Food Consultant Company catering to Up Scale Prep Schools. I worked at The Collegiate School, Riverdale Country School, St Thomas Choir School and a Jewish School Called Ramaz. I saw first hand how Old Money works.
What does “how old money works” mean? Yes, of course, families with generational wealth still send their kids to these schools if they can afford it, but these schools are a business and the majority of the kids who attend them come from new money families.
The schools I went to were far shy from these schools but my family was fortunate enough to send me to some schools with rich kids. Recalling the times I went to the International School of Bangkok, the locals(Thais) were super rich. It was back then when I first got a chance to get a ride in a Mercedes S600. This was during elementary school so I don't have much to say about ISB but later in my school days, I did go to a private boarding school in Ontario, Canada, I believe tuition was around $26,000 Canadian annually. It certainly did help. Friendship offered me jobs and investment opportunities as 99% of these young men inherited their parents' businesses. I cannot say I have lived a successful life but having these education printed out on my resume, I honestly never have gone through the struggle of getting a job. Maybe that's because my standards aren't high but there was always an opportunity. My spending habits are very conservative. The one and only field I spend is on automobile, which I was passionate in all my life and I currently run a business of my own in the automotive field. However, that one more field I am willing to spend at all costs is the education. I might not be fortunate enough to pay $100k a year in education but I am willing to send my kid to the best from what I can offer.
My family sent their children to prestigious private schools for 4 generations. Those children didn't get a much better education than public schools would have provided. Also, it's cruel to send children to a boarding school during their formative years when they need their family's emotional support at home. I've heard painful stories from relatives about how miserable their experiences were.
A prestigious private school is worse than public schools when it comes to education, including students. Status plays a VERY HUGE factor. No matter what in these schools.
My Ex boyfriend went to one of those schools, then got very good job in London. Unfortunately, he became an alcoholic because he could not get over of never been around his parents as his sister who never been to boarding school. He die at aged 43 of alcoholism. I will never send my child to those horrible schools.
I was sent to a military boarding school at the age of 12. Spent 5 years there. I will be always grateful to my mother for having the courage to send me there when everybody was scaring her not to send me. I learned life skills, I learned to be responsible for my own decisions. The values & discipline that were instilled in me have helped me navigate the troublesome waters of life.
I went to an expensive private school and taught for a while at an ancient English public school. I have to say, it was a joy. The boys I taught always called me sir, were mostly intelligent, and behaved well (all things considered). I'd hate to teach at a state funded school. The value is in the people and attitudes you surround yourself with.
I think you are live in the delusional world...if they already intelligent and well behaved then what the use of teaching... teaching is not all about memorizing the every single word in book it's about correct the student behaviour if they not well behaved, nd to teach how to live in the toughest world and for their future nd identify their skills....
A real teacher should be an example to students.. People like you should never go for teaching jobs.. Your discrimination is clear like glass. You go and live in elite world of fakes.
One of my children went to a very ancient English public (i.e., private) school. The other went to a less ancient but higher ranked English public school. I asked what difference it made and was told that what marked public school graduates was a sense of confidence.
We have sent our four children to boarding school and have been so happy with how they have developed independence and character as they don’t have their parents to fix every little issue for them. They have also become so well mannered and respectful as their school is very tough on respecting others
Missed the Entire point of the video. This is exactly why the elite are made up of people most will never Know, much less Be. It Is Not About The Money. Watch the video again and pay closer attention to what's being said. Maybe you'll understand the message, but chances are you won't and never will. You won't be alone in never understanding. There's probably some comfort in that
I was surprised Philips Exeter in NH didn't make the list. Their alumni list reads like the who's who of the world's elite, most notably the sons of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Henry Ford.
This is awesome! I just graduated from a private school, 4 years ago, and after the first few months of my college, I can see the difference between me and other students at my college. I am from India, and studied in a private school in India, just like UK we have a similar culture of private schools.
I had a similar experience - in private schools there less authoritarianism and more autonomy is given allowing the child to develop indivisual thoughts, personality and confidence
The difference is private schools prepare students to be leaders. The other difference is you can be top of your class in a regular school but you will still be less intelligent than most people coming out of private school, and almost certainly less educated.
I was fortunate to always attend private parochial school in the DC suburbs. There is a difference in not only academics but in how you were socialized. For example, I attended school with the family that owns Choice Hotels, when my husband and I were thinking of opening hotels in the Caribbean, I made a single call to an old friend from that family and was immediately put in touch with the VP of development.
I went to college with several kids who went to Choate Rosemary Hall for high school. I went to a private Catholic high school in Massachusetts, but these kids were even preppier than I was. They also drove better cars than my parents.
If the child turns out to be a snob and thinks he is better than anyone then this education means nothing...modesty and humbleness are the most important qualities that a person could have
No matter what finishing school Tires to teach and what God himself has taught, humans are disposed to their natural man which is why God says that the natural man is an enemy to God. School may be used as another way humans gain more pride, but it is not necessarily just because they are educated. If we remove the attempt to educate and progress, we have done ourselves a greater disservice. Hence, the USA Today. Before you ask, yes I am an American
In the USA, such schools might very well have once been the source of significant politicians and even presidents, but those days are long gone. Recent American presidents on the whole have come from far less grandiose backgrounds, and some were from downright poor families. And coming from modest beginnings isn't looked down upon, but often is admired if someone's risen to wealth or fame or power.
I lived in a wealthy New Jersey county for nearly 60 years without once hearing mention of the Lawrenceville School. But there is no denying the value of a degree from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government or the like to get you into the corridors of power in Washington DC. And plenty of crypto-dictators-in-training have arisen from those halls, not just old-money bluebloods looking to maintain their caste advantage.
We have had presidents and senators from humble backgrounds since our founding. But the elite educational institutions - especially in the East, still pump out the greatest number of leaders in politics, government and business.
yeah, but like putin said, the presidents aren't the ones calling the shots from what he's seen, maybe they got tired of public politics, now only private
@@markuswx1322 We live near Lawrenceville. They wear their labels on the inside but believe you me, this list is quite accurate in our opinion. The large international student population and brilliance of the young people is astounding.
@@passaggiochorale I don't doubt it. The old order passeth. In another half-generation Indians and Asians will entirely replace the domestic legacy stalwarts. They have a larger intellectual gene pool. And they will probably set a better example.
I worked at Groton Country Club as the Golf Teaching Pro. It is right next to The Groton School. I had the pleasure of teaching some group lessons to some of the students . They were some of the most delightful young people.....good swings, too!!! Miss Monique ⛳⛳⛳😁😁😁
This video seems to concentrate on the most expensive private high school. Yet the best US private school have such high ENDOWMENTS that they are expensive, but relatively cheap compared to their actual costs. A few of these are Phillips Andover Academy, Phillips Exeter Academy, St. Paul's School (in Concord, NH), Deerfield, etc. It is hard to believe that so many of these were omitted.
hi! very good video and list. I agree with most of them except I was confused about the ranking of institut auf dem Rosenberg when their annual fees is more than institut le rosey although I understand the reputation of le rosey. I think you should have added Phillips Exeter Academy in the US since they outrank Choate and Lawrenceville on many rankings. overall, very good content!
My daughter received her education in the Carrollton Schoolof the Sacred Heart in Coconut Grove in South Florida and I every dollar that I expended in her education worth it. Great overall preparation she got and this school one of the best for her.
It’s not a coincidence that government leaders from around the world come from well to do families. And the cost only of these schools is prohibitive for a reason. Keeping the rich and powerful at the top of the pyramid is of the essence here. Keeping it in the family so to say. The rest of us, even if we do well, will never be part of that family. It’s fixed.
It's not fixed. Catherine, Princess of Wales, our future queen, and mother of all future British monarchs, has middle class parents, and her ancestors include unskilled labourers. You can move up or down in society but it can take more than one generation.
Kate Middleton attended Marlborough College, the week it reinvented itself from a boys school to a co-ed, it was on the Time cover of Time Magazine. Most elite private boarding schools are still single gender, an old belief which USA has departed from. It is also limiting for attracting large endowments.
This was fun. The video appeared and I felt like checking it out. Figured Choate would probably be here. I went to Choate, long time ago. The building at 5:10 is Memorial House, "Mem House" as we called it. That's where you start as a freshman, i.e. in the "Third Form" as it was called. Near the end of freshman year there was a drawing, lowest numbers get their pick of where to live on campus next. I had also been accepted at Lawrenceville, and they even wanted to give me a financial award right away (was not one of those from a rich family), but at the time it was all boys and there was no way I was doing that no matter how much money they gave me. :) After my first year Choate gave me a full scholarship. It was certainly a great school and special experience that I'm grateful for, though definitely not all positive. You're not taught real "critical thinking" in that setting, however, at least not then. That came later in life beginning in college, after what seemed like another lifetime at that age, and only by divine providence since there's no guarantee anyone discovers that at all no matter how otherwise great the education or location.
@@oldmoneyluxury Well I definitely can't be doing that 🙂 but it was nice coming across your video which reminded me of that unusual time and commenting.
All our 3 kids attended boarding school. Their school is not in the list, but their tuition/fees is similar. They went there not because we can afford it, but because the company that I worked for paid for it. There was a year all 3 were there, the cost was almost $300k (for all of them). There were a lot of “old rich” kids there as well as “nouveau rich” kids. These kids don’t “flaunt”, our girls just “fit” in, these rich kids were raised well by their parents. However, their spending habits were “rich habits”. To make sure that our kids don’t squire them, we only give them enough spending $. There was a time that when one of our girls ask me “Daddy, why can’t we have unlimited money?Our friends have unlimited spending money.” 😂. I said, you can’t because my money is limited. 😃. If the company is not paying for their boarding school education and I can afford it, I will still send them there. It’s worth it. They have grown in “knowledge and grace”. And oh if you’re planning of sending your kids to boarding schools, make sure that the boarding student population is at least 75%. Our kids’ school is around 80% (there were boarding kids whose parents are living only about 20 minutes away).
Oh I forgot to mention that there were a bunch of international students from all over the world. Some of them are be ng picked up by private jets in school breaks. Me? I’ll book our kids with the cheapest economy flight out of Boston (to TX) hehehehe
No university in the world can be better than an average university in USA. I had skipped the whole middle school due to war in my native country. Came to US & attended high school with very little English. Attended a university, graduated with honors. Then was accepted at a prestigious university for PhD. I own my own company now & have given scholarships to many students whose situations are similar to how I grew up. Real education starts with your mother teaching you manners.
choate rosemary hall literally begged my son to attend. they had a rep fly to oklahoma to ask him. he was in the 6th grade! he said no. he loved the duke tip program. he started that program in the 4th grade
I went to one of these schools in Australia. You get amazing opportunities to do music, one on one career counselling, swimming in an Olympic heated pool, soirees and have fantastic teachers and study in heritage buildings. But it's just not realistic and an incredibly sheltered existence. In the real world not everything is handed to you and you aren't special
Of course to the top one. She is only 6 and starting her 1st year soon in a private school at a first grader. I appreciate this video for it gives me a different prospective on great/better education.
These educational disparities should inspire sadness more than anything else, IMO. I've worked in impoverished communities where classrooms barely function at all. Needless to say, those students will mostly not grow up to be competitive with the students who are educated at elite schools.
Much more satisfying to teach in a disadvantaged school where one can really make a difference not in a highly privileged school where you are treated like an inferior servant.
Their situation has nothing to do with the impoverished community situation....that is the gov't doing. You can't blame someone for wanting to send their child to the best schools. They didn't get there over night, they worked for it or generations before someone worked hard & took.risks to establish businesses...
Choate is excellent - but it is not even near the top of the most elite US prep schools. I would begin that list with The St. Paul's School (NH); Phillips Exeter Academy and Phillips Andover Academy.
You left out several schools that are as elite if not more so than Lawrenceville: Andover and Exeter. You can't discuss American elite schools and leave out Andover.
I'm not sure about the international public/ independent/ private* schools in this video but like most public/ independent schools in the UK Eton and Harrow have very good scholarship programmes for children who went to state/ public* schools, families don't need to save years so little Jimmy can go to the same school as The Prince of Wales. *= In the UK private schools are usually called either Public or Independent, the longer a school has been around (e.g Eton, Harrow etc) the more likely they are to be called Public. Similarly in the UK public (aka government funded) schools are called State schools
Went to private school as well & catholic school!! I’m here & they are stuck . No good job .. our school foundation helped them financially. Glad to help!! I’m sending my son to I oversized here in Washington but I’ll support whatever he wants to do in life!! He is also a musician/artist like myself ;-) I’m getting my LPN in a year & already halfway real estate & have wealthy people connections. I used to be an electrician for big older companies but it’s not my passion it did allowed me to buy my first investment home . Thank God for his guidance . (I’m a single mom for 8 years:-) I’m doing better than 2 earner couples . I have a man now too .. who is a manager from my previous job. Life is good & God is great!! 😊
The reason people send their kids to elite schools is because of the matriculation process, maintaining high test scores and the future networking potential.
Umm does your channel ever make videos about elegant,ultra successful, wealthy, prominent and powerful people of color? If so drop the link I would love to watch those!
I live about 10 mins away from Harrow School. You reach the bottom of the hill and suddenly the poverty hits you - a real visual contrast between the 1% and the rest of the world
My mother worked at Choate. She told me SO many students were absolutely riddled with anxiety over achieving their academic goals- compounded by many of them boarding far away from family. I found it interesting how the stereotype of haughty jocks who expect good grades handed to them seemed to be few and far between when interacting with actual students.
You forgot or maybe didn't consider one of the most important aspect of rich and highly influential families sending their children to these institutions is safety which I think is self explanatory.
It's worth it for long term contacts for business, opportunities, and future leadership, innovation and to help others as well both inside and outside their circle. It's why Prince George HAS to go to Eaton! And also, about social conduct and advancement.
I’m pretty sure Harry Potter’s Hogwarts wasn’t Tudor style? It seems like it is a mix between collegiate gothic inspired by Cambridge and Oxford for interior shots while also having Norman style architecture on most of the exterior.
i read somewhere from a guy who went these type of school. Many of them are not from blue blood but from working parents. The whole point of they sending their children there, were so tthe kids could build connection and networking that will be useful in their career later. For example, when he want to enter a country for certain line of business and didnt know how , a phone call is what they need. It will enable them to open the door. Though whether the able to get to contract is depend on their ability. However it seems that these networking must be built from young or elementary school. If you were to join in highchool is consider too late as there are already establish cliques and network.
A wealthy self made friend of mine gave me an important lesson. He said "Cash is king, Jake. Cash is king". He went to a public school, enlisted in the army, and eventually ran an insulation company... no, he will never be a billionaire, but he has no worries and I can be sure of that.
...and St Peter's College , Wexford , Ireland . Least we forget !! Better forgotten ! . Though seriously the aforementioned schools provide lifetime contacts which frequently pave the pathway to success .
While this is something..but I would like to add in..dont feel bad...a rothschild baby no matter where he studied will still earn millions.. I mean people who can afford to send their kids in these schools..can definitely invest in their businesses, political careers etc. So the sucess is going to be there irrespective of the school. There is a list of people who never went to old money school but are succesful anyways..and old money lineage is successful cz its old money lineage.. ot wouldnt matter much.. but yes a handsome amount in education is good..but a grusome amount is not..
Le roasey zz .. if Switzerland is the school of Juliana Casablancas.. American lead singer of the strokes.. he is a high school drop out.. but his dad was is the founder of Elite modeling agency.. of America it’s interesting that was the first school you mention
Not all parents who send their children to elite schools are from super-rich families, some parents have saved for years to send their children to elite schools because they can't rely on state schools that have kids from all kinds of backgrounds, some kids aren't even good at English and their reading and maths are too low, so the only way to make sure their kids get a better education.
That would depend on the fees....if it's a 50k tution per year, for 5 years, then it's 250k. If you can save 250k while in a few short years, then you are upper class. Sorry.
There's a great English doc from yrs ago called School Swap (RU-vid) 8 students. 4 from Warwick boarding/day to Benton Public for 1 week then swap including the headmasters. Culture shock more so for public students but they preferred Warwick. More structured, after school activities, assemblies & a dining function to interact w/adult staff. The Public Head's opinion felt she didn't have the budget Private had, hence Private students had more opportunities. I think Public could've implemented similar with a contribution from the community, students & parents time. She didn't think outside the box.
Being practical in decision making is needed. I have seen many elite. School. Kids not knowing basic common sense.. If you have less money, your child will develop inferiority complex.. Send them to what u can afford. But develop his or her personality with your efforts. Talk to child regularly, make him a good decision maker. President abdul kalam of india studied in a villagenschool. He was a nuclear. Scientist and president.. Alwyas country chickens are better than broiler. Chicken
My daughter went to New Hall in the UK. She had a wonderful time. Lots f horseback riding, pottery, and choir, the academic side could have been better.
I'm making my own in Denton County, and it will cost $100k a year, maybe more, the school is not for profit, but, as a member of the board, I get a salary, and I prepare all my students to earn money. My school is going to be a boarding school, coed, and very based off Hogwarts. I was planning on sending my son to Eton, and it's because you can invest into Eton whom is the best to teach what the students are curious about. By the time my children reach this level, I may want to capitalize off of some of their ideas. They would earn their share, a lot of kids, from the right families, could pay their own tuition off their ideas and the quality of their education, but they still need to learn discipline, and the important aspects to life. If you have money, invest it in your own children, if you can trust your children.
Make sure to do lots of research about running a school and find really good, experienced, sensible, reliable people to do it with. You say the school will not be for profit but it has to make money to invest back into the school, its fabric and what courses, sports, arts programmes etc it can offer. Get a good financial adviser and your finances clearly worked out with plenty of extra for unexpected expenses.
@@sandrapicton6349 You're absolutely correct. One of the draws will be that people will want to learn from me, I'm interested in qualified people being a feature of the civilization in 2o years when skills needed to accomplish some of the things I'm working on will require better math and computer skills. Once a graduate, I can also recommend to the alum new fields of research and development occuring. It'll be part of a sweepstakes to get the right books into the hands of people who might not afford to buy books, and I'll have an artist paint a painting each year for the winner of the sweepstakes, but with the sale of books, tuition, the sweepstakes, which is open to the public, I think I'll have enough money to create scholarships for the best athletes in the DFW area. It will be a bording school, so they can win State, get a scholarship to play ball for the best programs in state, and probably significantly outperform most people from their neighborhoods. The school is also going to be modeled after Hogwarts, so I'm hoping my ball players go to university at private schools.
I think Philips Academy in Andover is a bit bigger as far as alumini than the one you mentioned in New Jersey. Kennedy jr. The Bushes, Chris Huges, and dozens of generals and authors and movie directors all went there. It's not as expensive as some of the places on the list, but they're super picky and known for expelling students who don't keep up with their academic expectations.

Institut Le Rosey is a private boarding school with campuses in both Rolle and Gstaad, Switzerland. Not mentioned is the Leysin American School is located in the alpine resort village of Leysin, Vaud, Switzerland, two hours east of Geneva. Also not mentioned is the International School of Geneva. Founded in 1924 in the service of the League of Nations and the International Labour Organization, it is the oldest international school in the world. Generally these schools are focusing on university preparation for grades 7-12 or ages 14-18. Gstaad International School was a co-educational day and boarding school located in Gstaad, Switzerland and was founded in 1962. The school closed in June, 2014.For all practical purposes it closed in about 2010 as that is when it took its website down.

77, never discussed, St. Paul's, was the school for boys in America when I grew up. The students of others were considered parvenu's as was anyone who called Miss Porters by its name. "Farmington", the town of its location, the name used by students and their families, "the pile", ( of brick, stone, morter) their formal, not secondary residences. I have to go to the pile this weekend.
Why? I have family that have attended private universities and they are exactly the same robotic lefties as those in UCLA? I’m actually curious. Name a few things
This is interesting, because in the UK there are some state grammar schools with better KS3 and KS4 scores and uni placements than some public (private/ fee paying) schools.
