The greatest weakness of the school is that the list of works was compiled in 1922 and has changed only incrementally since. It's also a great _strength_ of the school, but you could enter the world in 1988 from SJC knowing absolutely nothing about it. I'm sure that that's still true now.

And, for all the talk of timelessness, the list was already quite reactionary in 1922. Vaguely Amish, in some sense, tbh.

I do really like the pedagogical approach. I just wish that approach to learning and teaching could move on from a very particular cultural moment in pre-war Britain/America. All those crusty Oxbridge guys who had Strong Feelings about reading tons of Euclid were reacting to their own cultural moments and have now been dead for half a century :)
