A school assignment. We have to do research about a school and I thought, why not choose the best of them all?

Oxford or Harvard yes. But is there any private schools maybe?

Harvard is private. Most famous American schools are (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, Et Cetera).

I don't know what the outlines of your assignment are, but I might pick something like a military academy (all nations have them, in the US they are West Point for Army, Annapolis for Navy, Colorado Springs for Air Force) or something experimental like Deep Springs (www.deepsprings.edu) or St. Johns (http://www.sjca.edu/).

You could go back and forth forever on what the best school in the world is. I would focus on something interesting that you can get your arms around. Like the Colorado School of Mines or the Thunderbird School of Global Management. Both good schools and both very specific in focus.

The headline says what I'm asking for. I want to write about a famous and very good school. So here you all can post your suggestions and then I'll choose one that I'll write about. And it's probably fun reading for you others(?).

You might get more serious replies if you had a less obnoxious signature.

University of Phoenix. I base this on the fact they are the most profitable, which must mean they are the best.

I have reliable information from a message board frequented by many graduates of distinguished universities that it's actually somewhere in Ohio and reknown for it's football team.
