I don't really know what to say about this. It could and has been interpreted as an allegory for Calvinism, although I think it doesn't quite fit that label. It could also be a medication on education or a character study of Miss Brodie, but really I think it's just a clever, slightly sinister, but ultimately satisfying read.
