I think it is worthwhile to know under what names and where the schools are located. This is by the way public information I gained from their websites.

Later I'll transfer them my static page on SES.

I think it's very worthwhile. It's certainly helped me in my research!

Here's another one in Australia - the John Colet School in Sydney.
http://johncolet.nsw.edu.au/index.html

What they study in history is interesting - ancient civilisations - that is SO pertinant. (scarcasm warning)

Australian history IS studied, but ONLY since white settlement. Guess they still beleive that old chestnut about "terra nullius". I'm sure John Howard would love these schools - they don't mention those darn pesky Aboriginals.

This fellow is pretty candid:

Ancient civilisations are not to be considered irrevelent... for they do hold a lot of importance. I see there being no point in such scarcasm.

I think everyone should learn vedic maths! It's just so clever, and quite enjoyable if you enjoy numbers :evilbat: !

Erasmus is a school that is unique in every way. Here we are given the option of meditation and opportunities to pause which helps to still the mind.

One of the beauties of all the SES affliliated schools.

Some of you would probably be interested to know that the Introductory Philosophy courses have been somewhat revised, at least in Australia - the first lecture sees mention of the possibility of taking meditation at a later time, as well as reference to origins in Eastern religion. You'll also notice that John Colet School's website quotes the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, and the Upanishads in its "About Us" section.

Ross Farrelly is indeed a candid fellow, as are most of his counterparts. Ideas that SES-affiliated schools are necessarily covert and conspiratorial in their attempts to brainwash unsuspecting youngsters and their parents may be a little blinkered.

For PRIMARY school? Give us a break! And Shakespeare? There is no point teaching things to kids they are not old enough to understand - or you are doing is creating parrots that can sprout stuff. It is a wank!

I did not go to the junior/[primary school afflited with the SES, however my freinds recount fond memories of greek myths they had learnt about. It's almost like story telling however with more class!... Mind you that is when I wished I had gone to the primary school.... as I remember Rosie and Jim stories were not in the least challenging nor interesting!

"Class" - it strikes me "class" is core to the SES - after all it IS a home grown British cult where the class system is all.

Why is a greek myth "classier" than other forms of story telling? I don't know "rosie and jim" but my kids are exposed to a wide range of stories and readers - anything from Dreamtime stories to JK Rowling to local authors with wonderfully titled books like The Day my Bum went Psycho

They also hear a wide range of music, not just the accepted "classy" Mozart.

Living in an egalitarian society I find the whole class thing offensive.
