[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Andover and my sister went to Horace Mann.

Assuming those schools qualify:

We had excellent instruction in writing in particular. The language offerings certainly were broader than in your typical high school. Andover offers courses in 8 languages; I took [b]Latin and Ancient Greek. [/b]

I took several dedicated philosophy courses. My favorite was called Law and Morality, where we read Plato, Marcus Aurelius, Socrates, etc. My friend took a course exclusively on Camus.

The school has a celebrated American art gallery and an archaeology museum, so we were able to use those facilities to supplement courses. One of my friends had the opportunity to do an independent curation project at the archaeology museum.

This is in addition to broad offerings in math, science, art, etc.

If you have specific questions, I’m happy to try to answer them. [/quote]

It’s the Latin and Greek. [/quote]

FWIW, you can also get this for free at a classical public charter school.[/quote]

Public schools still teach Latin.  Some do anyway.  It’s helpful if you’re bad at spelling.  [/quote]
