Umm…I think you kind of contradicted yourself.

"It was the smaller schools (e.g., the St. Grottlesex schools–St. Mark’s, St. Paul’s, Groton, and Middlesex) that, like the major Ivy League schools (Harvard, Yale, and Princeton) were founded on a basis of social exclusivity and not academic rigor. "

But then you stated that “St. Mark’s would generally be considered a more rigorous or academically demanding program.”

So, now I’m kind of confused. Is St. Mark’s more academically rigorous, or is it just more socially exclusive…or both?
