Little is yet known about the history of Longborough School for Boys, although the exterior architecture and interior style indicates it has been around for some time. The school, located in the Papen County town of North Thrush, also serves as lodging for its male students during term time. The teachers are notoriously strict and carry giant rulers, although whether corporal punishments is actually used at the school, or simply the threat of it, is unclear. The school's motto is "Institutum Superior Omnibus", which is Latin for "tradition above all".
