An all-girls school in Portland, OR. Often subject to criticism from girls who attend the other local private schools. While many will automatically sneer at its lack of boys, school spirit and location, it is in truth a fantastic school. It is the only school in the state to win the national Blue Ribbon award for education TWICE and also has a great 6A golf team and a number of other 4A teams. SMA is truly a home for many; it is one of the most economically and ethnically diverse schools in the area because of its location right in the heart of downtown. As to the claims that SMA girls act sluttily around boys, this is untrue. Girls are just more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
Boy #1: hey, where does that girl you brought to last week's dance go to school?
Boy #2: She goes to St. Mary's Academy.
Boy #1: wow, she was so smart, confident and cute! I wonder if any of her friends want to come to the next dance?

A faculty member of your university purportedly assigned to help students plan their course schedules to fit each student's degree and career plans but who are not required to know or provide accurate information regarding available courses, pre-requisites, required courses, course alternatives, etc. and often supply advice that ends up being detrimental to the student.
Side of "academic advising" include:
Taking one or more classes that are unnecessary and ending up taking 5 years to earn a 4 year degree.
Realizing 2 weeks before graduation that you could have graduated a semester early if it weren't for that "career exploration" class you took freshman year that your advisor recommended you take to "discover your calling" or "meet people in your major."
Realizing that those transfer credits actually could have transferred and you did not need to re-take that class.

My academic advisor said I had to take a full year of underwater basket weaving courses for my degree, turns out I don't and now I won't graduate this semester.
My advisor screwed me over, I'll never the mistake of taking his advice again.

Get the academic competition mug.A private, classical christian school in Minnesota. Students that attend Schaeffer are often called Schaefferites and know each other fairly well. Schaefferites are defined by their ability to write, but not speak Latin fluently. This is considered a useless skill by most within the school. The school forces students to wear uniforms, but allows the occasional mufti (this is a highly celebrated and anticipated event) day. Students who graduate from Schaeffer will for certain know these five things:
1. The yearbook password for the computer lab
2. Every student and their cousin's name
3. The Apostle's Creed
4. Who Francis Schaeffer is
5. Notitia, Assensus, Fiducia
To reprimand students, teachers will give out demerits. This is a pointless piece of paper de- meriting the students actions. No one cares about them, well, except for a few people.
Finally, three things Schaeffer graduates will never understand are...
1. Why we can't chew gum.
2. What white rabbit really means and why we always say it...
3. Why we can't have our end of the year water fight anymore.
*Non schaefferites will often spell Schaeffer like Shaffer or schaffer...this is how you spot a wannabe.

Get the Schaeffer Academy mug.an absolute mess full of road men and girls who’s foundation doesn’t match their actual skin tones. we call these chavs.
the teachers try their best as they hear the deafening cries of the (sh)IT girls using terms such as 'errr' and 'fuck off'. Students sit at desks doing a range of tiktok dances and threatening the staff with their whining voices. Year 7's are a walking trip hazard with a mouldy croissant sitting at the top of their head, oh that's their hair.. For lunch, have a tuna sandwich which contains more butter than tuna. Or the ever popular ham, now with 100% added fat.
