User:DGG/List of fictional schools

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Beginning (talk | contribs) at 20:48, 18 December 2004 (Adding some (but not all) notable schools from "The Simpsons."). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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, or even sexual behavior.
