<p>I don’t think there is great “elite” worship. There is “family tradition” and we’ve seen that within our group of friends who sent their children where they had gone and in some cases where the children’s grandparents had attended. We also have a friends whose children also left for boarding school because of artistic paths. There is also the need for a solid/great high school academic need. We have friends who “chose” to live in particular house or a particular neighborhhod and wanted to stay. As their children grew they chose to send them away rather than move their physical home or to attempt to get their kids into neighboring school districts and deal with the transportation logisitcs. Elite envy - I don’t know…I’m sure there are aspirational families in this country but with our friends it was not really aspirational as much as practical or emotional.</p>
