Camelot

My daughter's private school yearbook this year was sort of like a Fantasyland motif from Disneyland. So, many people see this school as sort of a Camelot. Because only the brightest most creative and gifted kids tend to go there. People don't really fight there at all (they are expelled quickly) and what is required of everyone is extreme creativity and interaction with everyone in a useful, helpful and creative way. As a result of school being about as hard as Community college is from 8th grade on, many of the students wind up accepted and going to Harvard, Yale, or Stanford and colleges and universities across the land for their freshman year of college.

The graduation ceremonies showed the audience there just how extremely bright and talented the graduating class of 2014 actually were. When I was at a fundraiser for my daughter's school it was hosted by the news anchor and General manager of a local TV station that we watch often on the news. The news anchor desperately wants his kids to be good enough students to make in in my daughter's alma mater, which is really great that people feel this way and donate 100s of thousands of dollars every year over and above tuition for their kids to go to this particular school. I would say scholastically it is the best education in my county in California.
