Elite Education and the Private School: Excellence and Arrogance at Phillips Exeter Academy (Mellen Studies in Education)

By Alan H. Levy

This volume considers many components of current crises and dilemmas in education through an analysis of one of the most celebrated secondary schools in the USA, Phillips Exeter Academy. The text illustrates how styles and techniques at Exeter have grown to eclipse educational content, a stasis resulting from an education school mentality among the teaching establishment that adversely affects American instruction.
