Canterbury School is an old building with a long tradition of excellence. Its students are regularly National Merit Scholars, etc. I work at the local Ballet and many of the students attend school there. As the tuition is in the thousands, it's almost always wealthy families that send their children there, although Canterbury does tout the fact that scholarships are offered. Concerned families typically have higher-achieving kids, so it's hard to know how much the achievement there owes to the quality of the kids and how much to the actual teaching, but the quality is so consistent that good teaching must be going on there. Many extra-curricular activities are offered, as well as a wonderful "Rags to Riches" rummage sale each spring. If your wallet is ready, check out Canterbury!
