[quote=Anonymous]Deep Springs and St John’s are truly niche (maybe lifestyle) schools. They are both schools where you’d probably have to love learning to be happy, but lots of kids who love learning would be miserable in either place. I know I would have been. Maybe it’s the difference between intensive and extensive reading. You can learn from a limited number of texts read very closely or from the interplay of a wider variety of texts, some of which are worth more time/attention than others. May also depend on field. Neither is a great place for STEM (which is not to say a student couldn’t go on to do STEM elsewhere). Not sure either is a great fit for students interested in comparative and/or contemporary social/cultural issues either. Great Books curricula (and the faculty who teach them) tend to offer a narrow lens on the world. That said, Deep Springs is two years and could be time very well spent for the right kid. [/quote]
