Boarding School of Horrors: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Firefly]]'''s River Tam went to a [[School for Scheming]] version of one of these that was presided over by [[Mad Scientist]]s. She came out...a bit touched.

* ''[[Poltergeist: The Legacy]]'''s tenth episode "The Substitute" was a classic example of this trope.

* Jennie Garth starred in a [[Lifetime Movie]] style ''[[Without Consent]]'' which is basically about teenage "re-education" facilities (see Real Life below). Along with torturing the students in their control, whether they've actually done anything wrong or not, the program ditches a clearly-troubled young man as soon as his parents' insurance runs out of money, claiming that he is now "cured". {{spoiler|He kills himself.}}

* ''[[Tower Prep]]'', where kids with special gifts are knocked out and wake up at this school with no explanation, have no idea where they are, a giant wall keeps them from leaving, they are not allowed to contact the outside, and they are pretty much forced to act like they are simply normal students.
