Line 68: ** His school only becomes a main part of the film towards the climax. * ''[[The Emperors Club]]'' is about an American private school. This one's from the point of view of a teacher, the school is a good place, and it's all thoroughly in the tradition of molding boys into men, etc. There's still some of the "[[Inadequate Inheritor\|overbearing rich parent]] [[Why Couldn't You Be Different?\|damages adolescent son]]" [[Do We Have This One?\|trope]], but that's treated as more of a sad fact of life than an indictment of the whole system. * ''[[Au ~~Revoir~~revoir ~~Les~~les ~~Enfants~~enfants]]'' * ''[[The Hairy Bird]]'', a.k.a ''All I Wanna Do'' * ''[[Almost Angels]]'' takes place (and was filmed) in the [[Real Life]] [[Big Fancy House\|Palais Augarten]], a former Imperial palace used by the Vienna Boys Choir as a boarding school. Line 104: * The story of Rachel Klein's novel ''[[The Moth Diaries]]'' unfolds in a boarding school. * ''[[The Catcher in The Rye]]''—boarding school doesn't work out for Holden. * The [[Ciaphas Cain]] novel ''Cain's Last Stand'' features the titular now-retired commissar as a teacher at a Schola Progenium, a sort of state-run boarding school for orphans specifically devoted to educating future members of the Ecclesiarchy and the Commissariat. This being the [[Warhammer ~~40000~~40,000]] universe and Cain being a '''Hero of the Imperium''', not much time is devoted to actually developing much beyond Cain's class and work associates before the action starts. However, from the innumerable references to Cain's own experiences in a similar body, its clear that the Scholae Progenia are essentially British boarding schools [[In Space]]! * Coates Academy in the [[Gone (novel)]] series is a boarding school specifically for "difficult" kids. * Mordantly documented by [[Molesworth\|Nigel Molesworth]] (with [[St Trinian's\|Ronald Searle]] doing the illustrations) in ''Down with Skool!'' and its sequels. Line 127: == Video Games == * Main setting of ''[[Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al -Revis]]'' and its sequel. * Main setting of ''[[Luminous Arc 3]]'', although the students are only shown in class twice and even then they're barely learning. * ''[[Bully (video game)\|Bully]]'' plays with a lot of these tropes, though the game is set in New England. Some of the Preppies even affect upper-class English accents to suit—which they tend to drop when angered.
