  • Der Begriff Saint Grottlesex fasst verschiedene amerikanische Eliteinternate in Neuengland zusammen. Viele Absolventen dieser Schulen besuchen anschließend hervorragende Universitäten des Landes. Alle Schulen gehören zur Independent School League und umfassen * in Concord, New Hampshire, * in Massachusetts, * St. George's School in Newport, * und * . Der Begriff, ein Kofferwort, bezeichnet Gründungen von Knabenschulen aus dem mittleren bis späten 19. Jahrhundert. Dem Bekenntnis nach zumeist der Episkopalkirche der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika zugeneigt, kamen die Schüler vor allem aus reichen Familien. Die Schulen orientierten sich am Vorbild bekannter englischer Public Schools wie dem Eton College oder der Harrow School. Im Gegensatz dazu waren frühere amerikanische Eliteinternate eher puritanisch und antienglisch orientiert. Die sogenannten Akademien, namentlich Andover, Exeter, und , waren bereits im 18. Jahrhundert gegründet worden. Einem weitverbreiteten Bonmot zufolge kombinierten sie „Wissensvermittlung mit puritanischem “ und galten insbesondere als Kaderschmiede für Prediger und Kirchenleute.

  • The term Saint Grottlesex refers to several American prep boarding schools in New England. These schools have historically sent their graduates to the nation's most prestigious universities. All the schools are members of the Independent School League, except St. Paul's, which left the ISL in 2016. The schools are: * St. Mark's School * St. Paul's School * St. George's School * Groton School * Middlesex School The term is a portmanteau of the St. part of St. Mark's, St. Paul's, and St. George's, then part of Groton, an extra t, and then ended with Middlesex. The St. Grottlesex schools were founded in the nineteenth century for well-to-do Episcopal Church boys (excepting nondenominational Middlesex, founded in 1901), and were consciously styled as the American equivalent of famous English public schools. In contrast, the Academies, notably Andover, Exeter, Milton, and Deerfield, were generally founded in the late eighteenth century as places to "combine scholarship with more than a little Puritan hellfire" and were originally often the first educational step in preparing men for the Puritan ministry. The St. Grottlesex schools retain an aura of preppy establishment. (en)
