<p>about a year ago i got information from a unique school that i wanted to check out but i never got around to it.</p>

<p>from what i remember, it is:
in east coast
focuses on philosophy (i think)
named after a saint (i think)</p>

<p>the school was all about like learning for learning's sake. i remember reading that students do not take tests or something. also, i remember there was a reading list that every student reads by the end of the four years that included alot of classical authors (macchiavelli , dostoyevsky, seneca, etc.)</p>

<p>does anyone have any idea of what school im talking about?</p>
