Training the elite is a saturated market already, and really, the emphasis is on networking and name branding rather than actual learning. See: Ivy league, whatever else fits that bill. You don't necessarily need a strong education to soar (though in my opinion it really helps), you need nepotism. If you actually want kids to learn things, you need a triage system which queries the optimal engagement and learning conditions for each individual student to learn. Next, use the engagement conditions to prime the student (get them excited to learn)for the material. Then, implement those optimal learning and engagement conditions in a curricula that is 50% more complex than what you think the student can handle. Adjust as needed. The hardest part is getting the students to be engaged/curious and setting them up with the resources and context to be an autodidact once class ends. Most graduates don't have these things before or after college, and an arbitrarily elite school isn't going to help them in and of itself. The pretension of being elite does a lot of harm to students.
