In her first year, Welton Academy
graduated five students.
:03:08
Last year, we graduated 51...
:03:11
and more than 75% of those...
:03:14
went on to the Ivy League.
:03:18
This, this kind of accomplishment...
:03:22
is the result...
:03:23
of fervent dedication to the principles
taught here.
:03:28
This is why you parents
have been sending us your sons.
:03:32
This is why we are the best
preparatory school in the United States.
:03:46
As you know...
:03:48

himself an honours graduate
of this school.
:04:00
And who, for the past several years...
:04:03
has been teaching at the highly regarded
Chester School in London.
