Sorry. Each time I wrote more I was making comparisons to existing public schools, not to this nation building school. The community I envisioned was a multi-racial community, like you might find in San Francisco. I'm not even planning on starting a school though, so it's not really worth pursuing, just pointing out that within a somewhat traditional framework you could better integrate the school with the community.
