Abstract: This case study employs a Bourdieusian theoretical framework to analyze the relationship between an individual's habitus and their perceptions about the value of education as described by students, teachers, and principals from two elite public high schools in Aydin, Turkey. The study argues that, as a part of school climate, the elite schools contribute to the reproduction of cultural capital that funds elite student habitus. Study results show that all the participants have positive perceptions about their schools, and all participants' habitus is supported by and reflective of the existing habitus of their school. This situation is sometimes a preference for elitism, but sometimes it is experienced as an obligation. The results confirm prior studies and related literature on the interrelationship between schooling, student habitus, and socio-economic reproduction.
