How would you encourage a Geneva kindergartner to persevere in school?

I would encourage a Geneva kindergartner to consider the big picture whenever they engage in a pursuit.

Yeah, umm, the big picture for a kindergartner is trying not to get caught eating their boogers.

Geneva is a grift. better to send your kids through the Episcopal schools than this scam. TMI is just right down the road from Geneva. 

Was quite unfamiliar. The literature list seems pretty reasonable, but hard to evaluate everything. 

Still, in this day and age, I distrust those that advertise their Christianity.

I attended a graduation this year at a private school in Austin and noticed that the program listed two students who were attending this "university."  Of my relatives who have graduated from this high school so far, both have gone to excellent colleges and are pretty normal kids.  And while the small, religious-focused curriculum surely contributes to the decision to attend such a purported institute of higher learning and truthiness, I have to suspect that the parents of these kids have a ton of influence on their destination.  Because the school seems perfectly capable of getting a lot of its students into good universities.

 

Of course, as Ty Webb said, the world needs ditch diggers too, and, by that same token, no matter the school, some of the kids just aren't rocking it academically.  Still, there are better colleges, and even the dimmest bulb at one of these expensive, private high schools can be leveraged into a decent, state school.

There’s no football. But there’s a fight club.

Yes, a fight club. It emerged spontaneously in week one—gloves, rules, a ring. The fighting was intense, civil, and—dare we say?—honorable. No one canceled it. Because the culture here runs deep. And students defend it.

Is this school going to be the new Bob Jones or Liberty University? That's what your post makes me think.

So far, not a single person in any of those photos looks like they could take a punch, with or without boxing gloves.

Well, the redhead from the Christian alt-rock album cover below, she looks like my ex-gf, who could not only take a punch, but could damn near take somebody else’s head off, who had made the mistake of being drunk and flirting with me.  But that was at Highland Lanes back in ‘97 and I’m pretty sure that girl was not alive then.
