Isn't BASIS our version of this?

Avenues is more aligned with traditional independent schools like big 3.

Basis is AP focused, tailored for highly self driven and talented kids.

Though they both are for profit schools.

Have to admit the outcome of Avenues is on par with big 3.

What else would you expect from a school filled with the offspring of the wealthy aka potential big-bucks donors?!?!

Well, not to be argumentative. Wealthy schools like Columbia Grammar (Trump's son) do not produce similar outcome.

Yes, he founded it. He somehow ended up owing them millions of dollars, and after suing him they forced the sale of a huge home he owned in East Hampton.

Didn't expect that coming. If this really is Whittle's school, their outcome is actually good. Something does not add up.

The Board at Avenues was savvy enough to oust him and turn the school around into a successful venture.

Interesting enough. Whittle sounds like Liz Holmes in education.

The parent body skews wealthy and connected. Good outcomes are somewhat baked in for these kids.
