Anna and the French Kiss | Stephanie Perkins

The School of America in Paris (SOAP) might not be as unusual as Hogwarts or Watford, but it certainly is a one-of-a-kind setting for the dreamy teen romance world that the author has created. "Anna" and "Isla" are set almost entirely at the school, and though we don't see that setting in "Lola", we do get a glimpse of some beloved characters. This is one of my favorite series featuring #UnusualSchools! #TropesinAugust

Only Ever Yours | Louise O'Neill

I didn‘t want to use a book that featured a school for magic since these are fairly ubiquitous (Harry Potter, The Magicians, A Wizard if Earthsea, etc). In Only Ever Yours, females are cloned and then brought up in cloistered, all girl schools where they learn solely how to please men...the goal is to become a companion over a concubine- though both are terminated at 40, when they‘ve outlived their usefulness...š±
