	Encyclopedia: School
		Secondary school may refer to Secondary school in the United Kingdom, is the general term for the schools for children between the ages of eleven and eighteen in most areas (a few areas have schools for 13-18 year olds instead, and these are called upper schools).
		Many of the earlier public schools in the United States were one-room schools where a single teacher taught seven grades of boys and girls in the same classroom.
		Private schools, or independent schools, are schools not administered by local or national government, which retain the right to select their student body and are funded in whole or in part by charging their students tuition rather than with public (state) funds.

		Pupils may be sent to boarding schools between the ages of two and eighteen; they can be sent to any number of specific types of boarding schools, from nursery boarding schools (or Kindergarten boarding schools) to senior preparatory boarding schools.
		Most societies decline to take boarding schools as the preferred option for the upbringing of their children, except in British societies or in its former colonies; in England, India, and former African colonies of Great Britain, for example, boarding schools are one of the preferred modes of education.

	6: II. The Chalet School as an Educational Institution
		Evans recalls that in her school: "Academic achievement was never allowed to be everything (hence the universal dislike of the swot and the equally universal award of the school prize to the good 'all rounder')" (Evans, 1991, p22).
		However, four years before the "Chalet School" series began, the census of 1921 showed that nearly one in three women had to be self-supporting (Hunt, 1987, p18), while about 18 per cent of women aged 20 to 45 never married during the inter-war period (Beddoe, 1987, p148).
		Evans has written that the pupils attending her middle-class girls' school in the UK in the 1950s were "children of a culture which had already inculcated belief in the superiority of the British and the benefits of British influence." (Evans, 1991, p15).

		The announcement that she was to go to a school in Switzerland had not met with Meg's approval initially.
		As this was speedily followed by accounts of Guide camp and frequent school outings, Meg was eventually resigned to her fate, "which," as Mrs Cameron had noted ruefully to her husband, "is just as well, for imagine the fuss she'd have kicked up if she'd stayed set against it!" Mr.
		At St Catherine's she had always been driven to and from school at the beginning and end of term, first by her parents and then by her uncle, and the prospect of the whole school descending on them from one train filled her with bemusement.

	FOCS - Changes for the Chalet School
		Part of the school will be moving there for the autumn term and the remainder will be settling at Glendower House in Carnbach.
		Everyone is intrigued by the rumour that the school is about to move, although the destination remains a mystery.
		Later on, further news may come to hand; but at present, the Old Girls of the Chalet School are, like the rest of us, spending their lives in hard work, as much play as they can manage, and carrying the banner of their school into the outer world, whether they do it consciously or not.

	6: III. Learning To Be a "Real Chalet School Girl"
		Once the school has relocated in the British Isles the girls continue to support the sanatorium, but the beneficiaries of their charity are now British, and this remains the case when the school returns to the Alps.
		For example, in The Chalet School and the Lintons (1934) Miss Annersley tells girls who have held a midnight feast which has resulted in two of the girls involved being ill that she was "bitterly ashamed to think that Chalet girls could be so greedy" (Brent-Dyer, 1934, p83).
		In a later book, The Chalet School and the Island (1950), Annis Lovell is rude to a member of staff and is kept in solitude and silence until she agrees to apologise; her peers have no sympathy for her (Brent-Dyer, 1950a, pp34-37).

	9: II. 1990s Women Fans
		Brennan began by identifying herself as being a fan when a child: "I, like millions of young readers before me, longed to be a Chalet School girl." She then produced a serious report about fandom and the centenary celebrations, and details of FOCS and the Edinburgh exhibition were given at the end.
		That fans read the texts closely, and that they prized their knowledge of the Chalet School world, was illustrated by the fact that the newsletters generally contained at least one quiz, while meetings often centred around a mass quiz.
		The New Chalet Club was determinedly democratic: a voluntary steering group distributed questionnaires and a draft constitution to members; as a result of which the organisation's name and activities were decided upon and an executive committee elected to run the organisation.

	Chalet Girls Grow Up, The: A Sequel to the Chalet School Series - RadioDirectory.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I found this book greatly disturbing and much prefer the peaceful reading associated with the real chalet books - I felt that it was not so much the characters in the book which had to 'grow up' as us, the readers and chalet fans.
		This shows up clearly in the treatment of Joey, who serves as a kind of 'spirit of the school' in the series, and as such is not meant to be subject to growing up in the same way as 'real' characters such as Grizel.
		As a student I managed three chapters of my own Chalet School sequel, and was pleased to see that Williams had similar thoughts (though Mike's being an estate agent is worse than my pirate).

	IV. The Chalet School Conferences
		We were able to secure the Regent Street building of the University of Westminster as the venue, which meant that we were able to keep costs down to £10, and to use the University's facilities to advertise the conference to other relevant institutions.
		For organisational purposes, we asked delegates to select four workshop choices in order of preference before registration, and we then attempted to ensure that every delegate was able to attend at least one of their first two choices.
		We restricted the advertising to members of the fan networks, since we knew that there was sufficient interest to fill the conference venue to capacity (around a hundred people), and that the fans had not had another opportunity that year to meet en masse.

	The Boarding School Story
		My first study on the boarding school story was a paper at the Library School, a short essay followed by a bibliography of boarding school stories in Swedish during the interesting period 1940-60.
		The really classical boarding school story might be said to have started with Talbot Baines Reed in the last decades of the 19th C, but was to flourish in the first half of the 20th C, mainly within girl's fiction.
		The question whether boarding school is good for young people in real life is wholly irrelevant to the literary historian; as a literary setting its unsurpassed, a "world of girls", a female collective with plots about friendship and rivalry, pranks and small adventures.
