A large and prestigious boarding school in Andover, MA. The school has needs-blind admissions and all are accepted on their own merits, not ability of parents to pay.
The school is huge: five different residential clusters, with five different Disciplinary Committees. In recent years the new Head of School has led a charge towards Political Correctness. So the most popular campus pastime is playing “I’m not privileged.” This is ironic at a school that only accepts one of eight applicants and has nearly a billion dollar endowment.
The school emphasizes that students have to be “Nice.” This is offset by faculty who barely know the kids. It’s the same old “Sink or Swim,” School that it’s been for 250 years, with a new Politically Correct face.

Get the Meridian academymug. Student 1: Hey mom can I practice driving on the way to school? Mom: Sure! Let’s hurry it up. Student 1: (Pulls up in carpool lane) Let’s stop here, when there are teachers waving me to move foward, and I am holding up the rest of the line. Just so me and my mother can switch seats, and the rest of the Columbus Academy community can hate me for a day!

Get the Cliffside Academymug. A private school in the suburbs where the teachers don't care about the kids and they think that school is a business. The kids are stuck up and smart christians that only care about themselves. They think they are so cool just cause Bradley Cooper went there. They they are just a stuck up school filled with selfish people.
