Abstract
This study examines how a prestigious private school in Argentina has adapted to changing social and political circumstances. Such adaptations have ensured the school’s ongoing role in educating of the nation’s economic elite. Using historical and ethnographic research approaches, the study outlines how the school’s liberalism allows it to appear “inclusively exclusive” while residing in a society that exhibits a post-neoliberal wariness of elites. Greater social-mindedness has inspired changes to the school curriculum that seek to reconnect globally-oriented students to their fellow citizens. But such changes also paradoxically reinforce an “economy of eliteness” that is increasingly valuable around the world.
