IMO, it seems that school kids are far more rational, open-minded, and mature than many adults are, so it would be quite an honor to work with them and to see them transition from young adolescents to young adults.
Hate to burst your bubble, but those kind of schools up here are often embroiled in controversy, ranging from abuse, to rape, to various forms of fraud. They're essentially daycare for the children of rich parents who think that the prestige of these institutions will somehow makeup for their intentional absence from their children's lives.
You wanna make a real difference? Go into the trenches of public school and teach kids who weren't born with a silver spoon up their asses.
