A collection of at any given time 120 or so high schoolers lacking enough social skills to adequately communicate and so smart they could probably end world hunger if they weren't so busy discussing it. Known to have affinities for debate, music, technology, etc. Often abbreviated simply to "the Academy."
Conversation regarding the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies:
A: Dude, my brother hasn't left his room in about a year.
B: Why not?
A: It's cuz he's in the Academy. He needs a life.

Founded to be a leading path for the future generation to rule the world with mind broadening education, the Academy hosts an eccentric cast of characters. Each brilliant student has a superiority complex they are unwilling to admit to, an unhealthy obsession with something they should have stopped liking in middle school, and a strange bond over lasagna (must be free trade). A group that could succeed in world domination if they weren’t too busy yelling at each other at three am telling one another to go to bed. From an outsider’s point of view, you really can’t tell if they all hate each other or love each other. Either way, they’re hilarious to watch.
Dude, your sibling is in the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies? How’s their Percy Jackson obsession? How’s their stubborn burn out waiting to happen? When do they start their homework? I bet they start it at 3 am, right? Do they have any friends outside of Academy? How many of them want to pursue a career in humanities? How many of them threaten to run away to a cottage in the middle of nowhere at the slightest inconvenience? Wow. What a bunch of geeks.

A special division of Glenbrook South and North with 120 students at any given time, 30 students per grade level, that have special privileges. These unique species commonly affiliate themselves with hardcore debate, classical music, too much technology, and often have nothing better to do than their homework. Students in the "Academy" are often labeled "Academites".
Typical conversation between a teacher and a student from the Glenbrook Academy of International Studies:
Teacher: Who are you?
Academite: I'm in the Academy and was wondering if I could--
Teacher: Yes.
Teacher: Who are you?
Academite: I'm in the Academy and was wondering if I could--
Teacher: Yes.
