From the Tudor-styled charm of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts to the elite academia of Dead Poets Society, a fascination with these historic institutions has permeated pop culture, and now, it has reached you.
But what makes these schools so coveted and so exclusive? What secrets lie behind their grand gates?
In the realm of old money, education isn’t just about hitting the books; it’s a cultural journey, a rite of passage, and a social grooming ground.
These institutions aren’t just schools, they’re cauldrons of a way of life that’s been passed down through generations, like an heirloom Patek Philippe watch.
But what makes these schools so exclusive and crucial for old money families in particular, you might wonder?
Well, my friend, it’s a complex blend, a cocktail of factors that makes them so intoxicating to old money families.
First, you see, these elite institutions are like finishing schools for the world’s future leaders, ensuring they’re primed and ready to navigate the corridors of power with finesse and savvy.
From day one, students rub shoulders with the offspring of the world’s power players.
They build bonds over shared dorm rooms and cricket matches, relationships that later translate into business partnerships, political alliances, and even marriages.
Consider America’s Roosevelt Family, steeped in power and prestige.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President, attended Groton School in Massachusetts.
Known for his formidable leadership during the Great Depression and World War II, Roosevelt was shaped by Groton’s rigorous academics and commitment to public service.
Groton didn’t just shape Roosevelt’s leadership; it also molded the likes of Joseph Alsop, the influential journalist and political analyst, who played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during the Cold War.
At Groton, both Roosevelt and Alsop absorbed lessons in critical thinking, social responsibility, and duty.
These formative years at Groton equipped them with the skills, mindset, and fortitude that would later define their careers in public life. It wasn’t just a school; it was a crucible that helped shape two of America’s most influential figures, each leaving an indelible mark on the world stage.
As the saying goes, “it’s not what you know, but who you know”, and these schools are the ultimate training grounds for building that all-important network.

I've heard painful stories from relatives about how miserable their experiences were.

[@myautobiography9711]

The schools I went to were far shy from these schools but my family was fortunate enough to send me to some schools with rich kids. Recalling the times I went to the International School of Bangkok, the locals(Thais) were super rich. It was back then when I first got a chance to get a ride in a Mercedes S600. This was during elementary school so I don't have much to say about ISB but later in my school days, I did go to a private boarding school in Ontario, Canada, I believe tuition was around $26,000 Canadian annually. It certainly did help. Friendship offered me jobs and investment opportunities as 99% of these young men inherited their parents' businesses. I cannot say I have lived a successful life but having these education printed out on my resume, I honestly never have gone through the struggle of getting a job. Maybe that's because my standards aren't high but there was always an opportunity. My spending habits are very conservative. The one and only field I spend is on automobile, which I was passionate in all my life and I currently run a business of my own in the automotive field. However, that one more field I am willing to spend at all costs is the education. I might not be fortunate enough to pay $100k a year in education but I am willing to send my kid to the best from what I can offer.

In the USA, such schools might very well have once been the source of significant politicians and even presidents, but those days are long gone.

All our 3 kids attended boarding school. Their school is not in the list, but their tuition/fees is similar. They went there not because we can afford it, but because the company that I worked for paid for it. There was a year all 3 were there, the cost was almost $300k (for all of them). There were a lot of “old rich” kids there as well as “nouveau rich” kids. These kids don’t “flaunt”, our girls just “fit” in, these rich kids were raised well by their parents. However, their spending habits were “rich habits”. To make sure that our kids don’t squire them, we only give them enough spending $. There was a time that when one of our girls ask me “Daddy, why can’t we have unlimited money?Our friends have unlimited spending money.” 😂. I said, you can’t because my money is limited. 😃. If the company is not paying for their boarding school education and I can afford it, I will still send them there. It’s worth it. They have grown in “knowledge and grace”. And oh if you’re planning of sending your kids to boarding schools, make sure that the boarding student population is at least 75%. Our kids’ school is around 80% (there were boarding kids whose parents are living only about 20 minutes away).

This was fun. The video appeared and I felt like checking it out. Figured Choate would probably be here. I went to Choate, long time ago. The building at 5:10 is Memorial House, "Mem House" as we called it. That's where you start as a freshman, i.e. in the "Third Form" as it was called. Near the end of freshman year there was a drawing, lowest numbers get their pick of where to live on campus next. I had also been accepted at Lawrenceville, and they even wanted to give me a financial award right away (was not one of those from a rich family), but at the time it was all boys and there was no way I was doing that no matter how much money they gave me. :) After my first year Choate gave me a full scholarship. It was certainly a great school and special experience that I'm grateful for, though definitely not all positive. You're not taught real "critical thinking" in that setting, however, at least not then. That came later in life beginning in college, after what seemed like another lifetime at that age, and only by divine providence since there's no guarantee anyone discovers that at all no matter how otherwise great the education or location.

He is also a musician/artist like myself ;-) I’m getting my LPN in a year & already halfway real estate & have wealthy people connections. I used to be an electrician for big older companies but it’s not my passion it did allowed me to buy my first investment home . Thank God for his guidance . (I’m a single mom for 8 years:-) I’m doing better than 2 earner couples . I have a man now too .. who is a manager from my previous job. Life is good & God is great!! 😊

So you could say that private school had its advantges?

[@richardshiggins704]

...and St Peter's College , Wexford , Ireland . Least we forget !! Better forgotten ! . Though seriously the aforementioned schools provide lifetime contacts which frequently pave the pathway to success .

[@kenb3552]

Choate is excellent - but it is not even near the top of the most elite US prep schools. I would begin that list with The St. Paul's School (NH); Phillips Exeter Academy and Phillips Andover Academy.

[@SkySilver777]

My mother worked at Choate. She told me SO many students were absolutely riddled with anxiety over achieving their academic goals- compounded by many of them boarding far away from family. I found it interesting how the stereotype of haughty jocks who expect good grades handed to them seemed to be few and far between when interacting with actual students.

I live about 10 mins away from Harrow School. You reach the bottom of the hill and suddenly the poverty hits you - a real visual contrast between the 1% and the rest of the world

[@maxinahunt8652]

I love the use of the term “eye watering” used so often……😂😂😂😂

[@13zebras]

You left out several schools that are as elite if not more so than Lawrenceville: Andover and Exeter. You can't discuss American elite schools and leave out Andover.

[@karenandrews4224]

St. Paul’s school nh

Umm does your channel ever make videos about elegant,ultra successful, wealthy, prominent and powerful people of color? If so drop the link I would love to watch those!

[@patricksmith2274]

Are you going to do a video about universities?

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Soon!

[@emmanuelamadi8982]

Can we have a video on universities?

[@charlesvanderhoog7056]

$130000 per annum is not prohibitive to most millionaires. I think these elite schools are rather cheap.😢

[@trishalivingston1051]

It's worth it for long term contacts for business, opportunities, and future leadership, innovation and to help others as well both inside and outside their circle. It's why Prince George HAS to go to Eaton! And also, about social conduct and advancement.

[@sandrapicton6349]

Eton.

[@christophergoode3421]

Le roasey zz .. if Switzerland is the school of Juliana Casablancas.. American lead singer of the strokes.. he is a high school drop out.. but his dad was is the founder of Elite modeling agency.. of America it’s interesting that was the first school you mention

[@gabrielgarcia7554]

I’m pretty sure Harry Potter’s Hogwarts wasn’t Tudor style? It seems like it is a mix between collegiate gothic inspired by Cambridge and Oxford for interior shots while also having Norman style architecture on most of the exterior.

[@lauracoutinho5478]

I think Philips Academy in Andover is a bit bigger as far as alumini than the one you mentioned in New Jersey. Kennedy jr. The Bushes, Chris Huges, and dozens of generals and authors and movie directors all went there. It's not as expensive as some of the places on the list, but they're super picky and known for expelling students who don't keep up with their academic expectations.

[@audreydaleski1067]

Yes, connections made here.

[@masoodabedi7598]

Nice...

[@Richardsonprincess00]

Any honorable mention that need to be added of this boarding school?

[@bennyksmusicalworld968]

Exeter, Andover, St. Paul’s, Milton, Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Taft?

[@susanarsoniadou]

With some students in private schools the emphasis is not so much on education as it is on being called educated.

[@user-uc3lq2gz3t]

You forgot or maybe didn't consider one of the most important aspect of rich and highly influential families sending their children to these institutions is safety which I think is self explanatory.

[@jimmcculloch3786]

Is it the wonderful voice of Hugh Bonneville, that graces the commentry ?

[@xetalq]

No - the narration is one of those ghastly AI 'Robovoices'. Characterless, monotonous, colourless and immediately distinguishable for its machine-like coldness.

[@funkg]

No, he would never say that William is the 'next King of England'

[@nicolad8822]

Nope

[@reneholder-mcclean-ramirez4517]

I was looking for United World Colleges - UWC Atlantic to be on the list

[@azukaabrahamnduka5242]

I am interested in applying for there

[@jinnam6822]

thank😁

[@aformal2]

What about Exeter, Pingry or Andover?

[@mcfalanncalixte6744]

Can you do top prep schools?

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Great idea!

[@christopherd.phillips9920]

Andover, Exeter?

[@MG-ge5xq]

What about ethics and education of ethics? What do those schools say and suggest?

[@anhnguyenhong8770]

[@danielkover7157]

The two schools in picturesque Switzerland would be my choice. ❤

[@garybeattie2403]

[@motomark790]

Institut Le Rosey is a private boarding school with campuses in both Rolle and Gstaad, Switzerland. Not mentioned is the Leysin American School is located in the alpine resort village of Leysin, Vaud, Switzerland, two hours east of Geneva. Also not mentioned is the International School of Geneva. Founded in 1924 in the service of the League of Nations and the International Labour Organization, it is the oldest international school in the world. Generally these schools are focusing on university preparation for grades 7-12 or ages 14-18. Gstaad International School was a co-educational day and boarding school located in Gstaad, Switzerland and was founded in 1962. The school closed in June, 2014.For all practical purposes it closed in about 2010 as that is when it took its website down.

[@hrussell9677]

Le Rosey has two campuses-one is the winter campus where all the students move to for winter sports. The main campus is in Rolle in Fall and Spring.

When British arrived in Ceylon They are the one introduced private school & called royal college

I went to public schools in NYC during the 70’s and 80’s they looked like and were ran like penitentiaries 😢grooming us for what was to come !

[@oldman915]

The content is good 👍👍 But I hope next time you can just show the list without spending almost half of the video duration for nothing.

I went to Hilton college, South Africas top school, fkn hated it

[@lauren9004]

Interesting

[@user-te4of2fq5d]

77, never discussed, St. Paul's, was the school for boys in America when I grew up. The students of others were considered parvenu's as was anyone who called Miss Porters by its name. "Farmington", the town of its location, the name used by students and their families, "the pile", ( of brick, stone, morter) their formal, not secondary residences. I have to go to the pile this weekend.

[@oldmoneyluxury]

Dead Poets Society was based on it, correct?

[@anncarroll2204]

My daughter went to New Hall in the UK. She had a wonderful time. Lots f horseback riding, pottery, and choir, the academic side could have been better.

[@suzettedale3488]

Cambridge!

[@yhsbu]

A wealthy self made friend of mine gave me an important lesson. He said "Cash is king, Jake. Cash is king". He went to a public school, enlisted in the army, and eventually ran an insulation company... no, he will never be a billionaire, but he has no worries and I can be sure of that.

[@gihanzohdy3284]

Having been brought up with a lot of English culture I would chose Eton or Harrow. J

[@ah5721]

I hand sew. Trust me it's easier to thread a needle than to put my kids into a private school even if it's not a elite one.

[@thunder.gun.cheese]

Wish I was an Eton graduate.
