Greek's fine, although I'd opt for Aymara myself. Imagine an Aymara 
charter school (not my original idea, but a good one!).

As for the elitism, I don't know. I don't care much for honors 
programs, "gifted" programs, and the like. I feel like everyone 
should be treated as gifted. I think it's my Appalachian background 
that sort of makes me recoil at the idea (we hill folk don't cotton 
much to elites).
