a school of merit

I know it's not a 'word-for-word' translation, but I think it probably captures the sense - and it will also work in any register and style, including formal and official.

merit
n noun
1 excellence; worth. Øan examination grade denoting above-average performance.
2 (usually merits) a good point or feature. Ø(merits) chiefly Law the intrinsic rights and wrongs of a case. Ø(merits) Theology good deeds entitling someone to a future reward.
n verb (merits, meriting, merited) deserve or be worthy of.

ORIGIN
Middle English: via Old French from Latin meritum 'due reward', from mereri 'earn, deserve'.

("Concise Oxford English Dictionary")

W zasadzie wszystkie propozycje oddają sens, ale moim zdaniem w tłumaczeniu powinna zostać "klasa", bo inaczej przepada ta fajna gra słów.

Aha, i na wszelki wypadek dodałabym w nawiasie polską nazwę.
