Does anyone know anything about Pillars of Hope or Swan Lake Academy? I had never heard of either of them. Two new WWASP schools in the planning?

Well, now we know what's Pillars of Hope-- it's Dundee's new name. Does anyone have any info about Swan Lake? I've been searching around every once in a while, but I couldn't find any info.
It could be the Wisconsin facility that Lichfield bought (though I never saw any info about that, either).
Info, anyone?
