14. The Lawrenceville School
Located in New Jersey sits a school that costs $64,430 a year to go to! When dealing with the best quality education money can buy, often schools tend to adopt unique learning methods to set them apart from the rest. At Lawrenceville School, boys and girls apply “Harkness” teaching and learning, a method developed by Edward Harkness that takes on a collaborative group problem-solving and analysis approach. Students gather in small classrooms of typically 12 or less around an oval table and expand and discuss ideas in a very conversational tone. The school also values a cultured education and offers different programs and opportunities for students to study abroad.
