[quote=pbraverman][quote=Anonymous]Is it true the Lab and High School are surprisingly humble modest low-key where most private schools of its caliber are elitist and snobby? If true, how does an elite private school cultivate that vibe? Curious if there are distinct things they do to dissuade the arrogant pompous snobby vibe.[/quote]

The people I know best from U-High are definitely modest people, but I think it's mostly just the Midwest. I dunno ... a school is a culture, just like any organization. Most people who found something as ambitious as a school have a lot to do, so thinking about culture doesn't often rise to the the of the list — especially if it's founded in, what, like 1895 or something? Chicago's culture isn't as competitive as that in DC, and the city is bigger, so not everybody knows everybody.

Also, they don't have chicagourbanmom.com. :) (Seriously, the closest thing I could find is chicagoschooloptions.com. The private school forum has nine topics, and 20 total posts, the most recent being a month ago!)
