[EDIT] The quality of being a confident, engaging conversationalist and presenter, I mean. For her it was The Hartridge School and then Yale. Hartridge, in its modern form as the Wardlaw-Hartridge School, runs a bit over $40k/yr by the time you're nearing the end, down to about $16k for pre-k, though many won't be paying full sticker price.
