*is playing around with the school directory*

[conuly]

Is there a *reason* I can't just search for a particular school?

Anyway, I'm adding fictional schools to our list here at book_icons. I've already got Unseen University and Stoneybrook Middle School. As soon as I find Hogwarts, I'm adding that too.

Anybody got any other schools to add?

They're accepting a limited number of fictional schools, so don't go hog-wild about adding your fake school to the list, but if you have real schools to add to the directory, go ahead. And, uh, suggest book schools for me here. Thanks.

Edit: If you want me to list a school, I need the School Directory link to the school in question.

Hogwarts is stuck in under Scotland - Highland:

I knew it was somewhere in Scotland. Thanks!

What about Wayside? (Was that the name of it? Sideways stories from Wayside school - I loved those very strange books as a child.)

[conuly]

I can't find it, but I didn't look very hard. You find it, you link to it here.

Found it!

I believe Miskatonic University is already on the list. Home of the Fighting Cephalopods!

[liberlucendus.livejournal.com]

Oo, where is it located?

[liberlucendus.livejournal.com]

Oh wait it's gotta be in Arkham.

[bkwyrm.livejournal.com]

Yup. Arkham, MA.

This is too awesome... too bad we are limited to schools on earth and in real countries, though.

I was thinking about adding the Devon School, from A Separate Peace, but I can't remember what town it was supposed to have been in -- was the town called Devon, too?

Anyways. The list of schools for New Hampshire is here (http://www.livejournal.com/schools/?ctc=US&sc=NH), in case someone knows and wants to add it.

Star Trek's been pretty thouroughly novelized--how about Starfleet Academy? It's under San Francisco, CA.

[conuly]

Mmmm.... If more people want it, then yeah, but really I think most people associate it with film and tv.

Howabout the Enid Blyton schools such as Malory Towers and St Clare's? And The Chalet School (from the books by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer) and Trebizon (from the books by Anne Digby)?

[sarrabellum.livejournal.com]

Oooh, what about Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies?

[maerchen.livejournal.com]

Yes, please!

Bamfylde from To Serve Then All My Days by R.F. Delderfield. It's in West Devon.

I tried adding the Marcia Blaine School for Girls from Muriel Spark's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, but it never showed up (Edinburgh, Scotland, incidentally).

How about the "wizarding" school in Roke in Le Guin's Earthsea books? I can't remember if it had a special name...

[bunnidarling.livejournal.com]

Shiz University from "Wicked" by Gregory Mcguire :)

[mme-antoinette.livejournal.com]

I've just submitted Jordan College from His Dark Materials.

What about Lowood from Jane Eyre?

Prufrock Preparatory School!!! AKA The Austere Academy. :-)

[raven-alabaster.livejournal.com]

Yes! Fabulous.

[merigreenleaf.livejournal.com]

How about The Collegium- you know, as in Herald, Healer, and Bardic- from the Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey? It's not on this world, though, so no idea where it would go.

It's a tad more pedestrian, but how about Kinsey Millhone's alma mater, Santa Theresa High in Santa Theresa, California?
