User:DGG/List of fictional schools

While real schools and universities are often prominently featured in works of fiction, this is a list of schools and universities which are entirely fictional, even though some of them are modeled after real world institutions.

Relying on a fictional setting allows the authors to exaggerate certain aspects of school life for humorous or dramatic effect. In tales targeted at children and teens, the actual learning and teaching experience is usually downplayed to focus on social interaction, often taking place outside the classroom. Some fictional schools and universities teach subjects which are not ordinarily taught, such as witchcraft, circus arts (although Circus Arts is a class at the University of Virginia), or even sexuality.

Note that "public school" in the context of this article means tuition-free, government-run school. This contrasts with the local usage in some countries; see "public school (disambiguation)" for more information.
