Absolutely.
And the biggest thing with private schools, of any flavor or belief, is expectations. We were constantly told that we would win, or get better grades, or have success was that we worked harder and did more.
The lower achieving kids don't need standards lower - they need them raised - and as they start to meet some of them they gain confidence. Perhaps you don't make the seals but you don't want to be the first to ring that bell and tap out. You just want to do better and that sticks with you.
