Just to set the record straight. Cary Academy, which Dr. Goodnight was instrumental in founding, is not a boarding school. And is not K-12 but 6-12. It does indeed have motivated students, from by-and-large well to do families. My daughter went to the school for 11th and 12th grades and the education provided was very good, but not because of some special focus on technology. Rather, I would credit excellent and hard-working teachers doing education the tried and true way -- setting high standards and inspiring young people to achieve them.
