Content introduction
The private schools of Manhattan's Upper East Side are a battleground for the top 1 per cent.
Elite parents here play out a glossy and brutal parenting war, using skilful maneuvering to secure the precious few Ivy League seats for their children.
A Harvard graduate, Bryce Grosberg quickly became a prized tutor among New York's upper classes. Her secret weapon is not just expertise, but, more importantly, an understanding of the anxieties of these "Gatsbies" : in the new Gilded Age, wealth, far from making them comfortable, is fueling their fear of downclass.
"Parents all over the world have one thing in common: they want their children to have a better future, but they don't know what to do."
Shuttling between private schools and luxury apartments in Manhattan, Grosberg prepares herself for the pressing parenting demands of the elite, only to get an unexpected glimpse into the overwhelmed, unhappy psyche of the children.
