St. Andrews, Cardenal Newman, Michaelham, St.Georges, and Cristoforo Colombo, ORT and Jean Mermoz are where the local elite send their children. There are other schools just as good academically, but those give children access to a network of friends who will determine their future lives, should they stay in Argentina.
Here, the school you attended often sets your children's future social standing: whom they will marry, and who will remain their lifelong friends, able to give them access to good jobs, good clubs, etc.
It is sad, but that's the way it is. In the States, lasting friendships are mostly formed in college. Here, it is elementary school that counts.
