{{quote|''"You have had Roger to yourself for nine wonderful years, but after tomorrow I'm the woman of the house and you're off to a year-round boarding school... possibly in Tibet!

You're a [[Card-Carrying Villain]], about to marry a lovable, but chronically [[Genre Blindness|Genre Blind]] single parent. It's perfect! You can have endless sex with someone who is obviously a bombshell and you can spend their giant fortune any way you want!

The only problem is their "bratty" kids who can tell you're a [[Devil in Plain Sight]]. What should you do about them? Hollywood always provides the same answer. Send them to boarding school!<ref>And for the extra-bratty boy, [[Military School]]!</ref> Now you have to keep them from talking their parent out of marrying you just long enough to make it to the altar. After that, it's smooth sailing. Naturally, this always fails at the last minute.

This trope will usually go hand-in-hand with [[Guess Who I'm Marrying]], although either can occur without the other.

Contrast the [[Boarding School]] genre, in which going away to an [[Elaborate University High]] is portrayed as a ''good'' thing. If the school actually appears, rather than being kept as an offstage threat, expect a [[Boarding School of Horrors]].

Not to be confused with [[Not Important to This Episode Camp]] in which the sending away is not for evil purposes, but merely as a plot convenience.

* In the ''Utsutsukowashi-hen'' arc of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', Shion is sent off to a boarding school to keep her out of family business. Also, {{spoiler|being a twin, she was supposed to have been killed at birth, so her existence is a secret in her hometown}}.

* In the horror anthology comic ''[[The Witching Hour]]'' in a story published around 1980 or so, a young boy is sent away to a very distant and exclusive boarding school by his [[Evil Stepmother|Evil Stepparent]]. Unbeknownst to the E.S.P., the school was a [[Wizarding School|Witches' School]] (this was a generation ''before'' Harry Potter). When the boy returns for vacation, he uses his supernatural powers to discover that the E.S.P. had murdered his father, seduced his mother, and taken credit for his late father's work. The E.S.P. then dies a horrid, screaming, fear-filled death that the police couldn't possibly label murder.

* ''[[The Addams Family|Addams Family Values]]'' was a weird case. One, the kids were not the children of the married (Uncle Fester and serial murderess [[Black Widow|Debbie Jellinsky]]). Two, they ''were'' shipped off. Three, it wasn't a boarding school but a summer camp. And four, they didn't prevent Debbie from executing her scheme—Fester, being an Addams, proves harder to kill than her other victims, and when Fester escapes and Debbie turns her wrath toward the entire family, it is little Pubert who ends up literally short-circuiting her plans.

* In ''[[Three Men and a Little Lady]]'', Sylvia's fiancee Edward reveals his true colors when, among other things, he's tricked into admitting that he wants to ship her daughter Mary off to a boarding school almost as soon as they're married.

* Averted in ''[[Jane Eyre]]'' where Jane's aunt sends her to boarding school to get rid of her, but Jane is just as happy to leave. It really is a [[Boarding School of Horrors]], though.
</div>
** But played straight when Blanche Ingram wants to send Adele to boarding school.
</div>
* Played straight (this page's description is ''exactly'' accurate) in ''I'm the King of the Castle''; however the plan is foiled in the most horrible way possible.
<div id="mw-navigation">
* Inverted spectacularly in ''[[Lolita]]''. Single mother Charlotte Haze plans to send her daughter Dolores (a.k.a. Lolita) off to summer camp and then to boarding school in order to get her out of her hair so she can enjoy the attentions of her [[Affably Evil]] paramour, Humbert Humbert. Unfortunately, getting rid of Lolita is the [[Lolicon|last thing he wants]]. Lolita, on the other hand, has no clue that Humbert secretly holds her mother in contempt and in fact seems to harbor a schoolgirl crush on him. [[Unreliable Narrator|According to Humbert, anyway]]. The marriage {{spoiler|goes off without a hitch, [[Murder the Hypotenuse|Charlotte gets conveniently killed by a car]], and Humbert is free to happily molest his step-daughter}}.

* Pretty much the whole point of Dotheboys Hall in ''Nicholas Nickleby''.
<div id="mw-head">
* Suggested in ''[[Enchanted Forest Chronicles|Searching for Dragons]]'' when Cimorene comes across a would-be [[Evil Uncle]]. He's in the Wicked Stepmothers' Society (Male Auxiliary) but has been commanded by them to do something "evil" or lose his membership. He joined the society before he actually got to know his nephew, and is at a loss for what to do, since the nephew wants to be an adventurer and thinks the uncle's attempts to get him lost in the forest are just great fun. Cimorene's solution? Off to Boarding School! The kid will hate it, but it won't actually harm him, so the uncle can appease both the society and his conscience.
<div id="p-personal" role="navigation" class="" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label">
* Many of the ''[[Gone (novel)]]'' characters have this in their backstory. Many of these are justified, since the boarding school in question - Coates Acadey - is a school for "difficult" kids, but others are just excuses to send kids away. For example, Drake was sent to Coates for shooting at the boy next door, Diana for lying to the police, Caine because his parents realized he was a sociopath, Jack for hacking a government website, [[Cure Your Gays|Dekka for kissing a girl]], [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and Brianna for failing math]].

* On ''[[Roswell]]'', Liz's father uses this seriously as a threat, when it seems like Max is having a corrupting influence on his formerly straitlaced daughter (they get arrested for armed robbery as part of a botched scheme to find Max's spaceship): he demands that both of them stay away from each other, or off she goes to Vermont—he's already sent a deposit! Then, later in the season, Liz's father forgives Max and gives him a second chance, only to have Liz haul ''herself'' off to the boarding school when she suddenly start to feel as if knowing Max has ruined her life.
