In addition to the normal day courses, some programs offer after school and night school programs. The school is considered the best in the United States, even though the lunches are un-digestable. Some rumors are going around that the school lunch is made in plumbing, right next to the toilets.Also, all the teachers who work there are emo. Yep. All of them. Oh and their students too. Yuuup.
