Despite the group’s founding as a sports conference, the constituent members work closely together on other aspects of university life and the conference’s name now transcends it’s sports conference heritage to the extent that “Ivy League” has become a byword for the elite tier of universities and colleges in the United States and, indeed, internationally.

ELITE EIGHT: THE TOP-TIER OF AMERICA’S ELITE BOARDING SCHOOLS

The Elite Eight is a an informal moniker applied to a group of highly-selective boarding schools in the United States that are considered to be the most exclusive schools in the country. Whilst many of the schools are known to consider one another as equals and often collaborate with one another with respect to common admissions practices or their participation in formal associations (such as the Eight Schools Association – with which the term is sometimes erroneously associated, or the Ten Schools Admission Organization), the Elite Eight is not an official body. Nonetheless, it is a common term used by prospective pupils and admissions agents assisting families with attaining places to such elite prep schools.

Cookson, Jr. and Caroline Hodges Persell in their book ‘Preparing for Power: America’s Elite Boarding Schools’. The term was devised to illustrate the select group of schools that had presented the highest number of students for matriculation into the Ivy League colleges and other elite institutions across America. The schools in the Select 16 have long-been considered amongst the most selective and exclusive boarding schools in the United States with famous alumni and large endowments.
