What is an Elite Boarding School?
Fernandez
Different Elite Schools
Geographically Elite
boarding schools also had the luxury of being more exclusive because they could draw from alarger pool of applicants who could pay the high tuitions whereas day schools were limited to nearby communities. Baird (1977) also notes that most elite schools, either boarding or day, are generally located in rural areas isolated from the city.
Historically Elite
Entrepreneurial spirit
Most elite schools ended up "underwent substantial reconfigurations during this time"
Public schooling in the United State became more apparent and the elite schools (in the U.S.) downfell
Demographically Elite
"student bodies are more inclusive than they actually are"
in the past four decades, Elite boarding schools have spent a great deal of money and effort in recruiting, enrolling, and graduating a more "diverse" student body
It is also an aspect around which schools con-
struct and present an image to their intended public
Typologically Elite
School is recognized as "independent"
Some nonpublic schools claim as an alternative to the term private, which carries a more politically charged and, according to Kraushaar (1972), even “perspective connotation”
Scholastically Elite
This is part of the promise that these schools make to their students to the schools in the first place (e.g., Cary, 1991; Grubin, 1991; Johnson, 2002).
Subjectivity and Elite Schooling
