How do i make sure my children will have made top tier connections when the are adults...

>swiss elite school
good luck, the best school in the world is in switzerland and costs $125k per year

Good thing i can afford that and live in switzerland then.
Is la rosey the best one? I‘ve heard rothschild sends it‘s spawns there.

>seriously strategic career
Yeah, i‘m trying to find out the specific strategy and character traits though.
Why would one go to hell for this?

You miss the entire reasons private schools exist. ie to not have a social group of dumb niggers like yourself.

OP send them to International schools. Whatever country you live in. They will mix with kids from successful social groups but also international and will be a good mix of kids from kids of Pil company management, Ambassador kids to missionary kids. These tend to be successful kids who your kids can know internationally.

yes. basically it's the best education you can get. usually 1 teacher for 4 students, and they make sure you understand everything. If you don't, the teachers give you private lessons after class. they also teach you a lot of sports and several hours of music lessons per week. you get out of there and you have a decent level of musical abilities and can play an instrument.

that's basically all the promotional videos. ex students are all bonded by their fond memories of the place

desu this place doesn't sound like it offers anything my school didn't and it cost a lot less than 125k per year, though this could just be designed to keep plebs out idk

I'd say forcing a huge amount of extra-curricular is counterproductive to the extent that it prevents the development of interests outside of what others will select for them, though getting them to try some sports and stuff is definitely good. It almost seems like a school stuck in the 20th century. Competent, good for gaming "elite" university admission, though not what's needed for a new elite in a computerised, decentralised world.

I'm a bit more sympathetic to what Elon is doing with Ad Astra, focussing on modern education for the sake of useful knowledge, though if it were my kids (if I had any lol) I'd be concerned about the narrow range of socialisation, being only with other children of successful STEM workers.

>though this could just be designed to keep plebs out idk
that's the main reason, also a marketing one. a lot of the ultra wealthy want their kids to hang around people like them. for the parents of students there, 125k/year is nothing.

I guess the networking is valuable, though I think as a group they could get rugpulled as the value of their education becomes defined only within their own social context.

Rubbing shoulders with todays elite only remains important if they hold onto their present position.

Moving from a poor area to a rich one when I was in high school I picked-up on the following:

- Kids have been in SAT prep since like 5th grade
- Kids have gone to expensive summer camps since elementary school (was invited to go to one in High School but couldn't because it was like 6k for the summer (the camp was affiliated with Yale and you could take college courses there for college credit - looks good for college and the education quality would probably be good)
- Pretty much everyone is on adderral or seeing a therapist
- Pretty much everyone is doing extracurricular activities - I.e. sports and clubs but some kids were literally research assistants at local universities. Hard to get that even if you're in college, but their parents were professors there.\
- Most of them were in some extracurricular math school since elementary. I recall these people being in advanced math courses.

All of this fostered good self-esteem and a sense of community of stressful overachievers in the making.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, but if you want to be elite, try to get your kid to do the aforementioned/expose them to it. All of them now are making like 6figs in their mid-to-late 20's. The middle class and below don't really have a chance more often than not.

>I'm a bit more sympathetic to what Elon is doing with Ad Astra,
i don't know. in his school there is no sport, no music, no languages because he doesn't consider them useful (or maybe he considers they should do sport/music outside of school).

>I take it there‘s not a single person belonging to the elite on Zig Forums.
Bruh you posted at 0530 on the US east coast, they're all still sleeping or just waking up. None of them are on fucking biz yet, wait for lunch time. Look, if you want your kids to be "elite", you first have to define what elite is. Identify about a hundred people who you consider "elite" and then map out their social network (all their relations) and figure out if there are any schools or first jobs in common with them.

In the US, being elite usually starts with attending an Ivy League school. If you don't make it in as a bachelor, apply for a master's program, they can be easier to get into if you do well in your bachelors at a good non-Ivy school. If you want to be political, you'll become a lawyer and work for a prestigious law firm. If you want to be a govie, you'll move to DC and work in think tanks or on campaigns. If you want to be a business elite, you'll get an MBA and work for one of the large consulting firms. If you want to be an academic, lol just give up right now the process of becoming an elite uni professor is fucking ridiculous.

The best thing you can do for your children and their descendants, to make them more elite, is to become wealthy and teach them how to preserve and grow that wealth. You'll also want them to maintain strong family ties and cooperate so that they can run businesses together. Becoming powerful is much easier after you're already wealthy, but the easiest way to gain wealth is to be powerful and abuse that power.

Yeah kids should do sport for sure and his model is far from perfect.

Despite this, compare what his children will be learning to what the current elite will. Languages other than English and music are fundamentally hobbies. In terms of production and control they have limited and decreasing utility.

On the other hand, programming, math ,physics and of course free time to just be curious are rapidly increasing in utility.

No-one is still friends with their school friends as adults lmao, especially in higher classes. You move for uni, then you move for work.

Class numbers don't make a grade difference below 40 students to 1 teacher.

I've visited Falling Water. Beautifully sited, designed and built. Highly recommended stop if you ever get the chance.

yeah. heavy education in programming math physics will be important for the highest paying jobs (it was always the case btw). but you also don't need to have the highest paying job to be happy, especially if your family is worth several millions. you can basically become an unpaid artist and not give a fuck because your net worth increases every year thanks to the family investments.
i've met recently the son of asian parents. he was basically forced to become a doctor... (my son, you will become a radiologist). i have no doubt he will succeed financially but god damn he looked depressed as fuck.
you sound like a moron. my best friends are those I met in school.
source: trust me dude

You clearly didn't go to a good school then, of my close teenage friendship group of 6 only three of us still even live in the UK and only one in London where the school was. I went to do medicine and stayed where i did my degree.

Here's your meta-analysis on class size, I got the number wrong - it's 20. But clearly 'one to one' expensive tutoring is redundant. It doesn't help.

I should clarify i say 'good school' in the sense we're talking about, not in real terms. I will be intentionally sending my kids to state school and using the money saved as a result properly.

Thats a horrible ROI, just make sure they get into a good university. Private school kids from my Uni are all less successful than the normal people. And there are a lot of rich cunts here (HSG)

it's not really about ROI but to socialize with other UHNW kids.
>Private school kids from my Uni are all less successful than the normal people
imo because the only reason they went to uni is their privilege. while "normal kids" who end up in uni got there by their ability, even if it's not really true either (those who go to uni tend to have richer parents who also went to uni)
