Bullworth Academy

From Bully Wiki

Bullworth Academy's Main Building.

Bullworth Academy is an independent boarding school located in the town of Bullworth. It is run by Dr. Crabblesnitch.

[edit] School Information

The school is located within the New England area, with the town resembling Connecticut. The school is a neo-gothic design and resembles Fettes College in Edinburgh. According to Jimmy Hopkins, it has a reputation of being one of the toughest and worst schools in the country.

The school consists of nine main buildings: the Boys' Dorm, the Girls' Dorm, the main building, the library, the auto repair shop, Harrington House, the gym, the Jocks Clubhouse and the Observatory. Other buildings exist, but they have no major role in the game. The school also has a football field and provides at least nine academic lessons: Art, Biology, Chemistry, English, Geography, Gym, History, Home Economics, Math, Photography and Shop. Biology, Music, Geography and Math were introduced in Bully: Scholarship Edition.

The school has 64 students including the Prefects. At the end of the game, Gary Smith is expelled and Zoe Taylor is enrolled, so the number of students remains at 64. It is is dominated by four cliques: the Nerds, the Preppies, the Greasers and the Jocks. The fifth clique, the Bullies have no real interest in the pecking order and often do as they like. There are also a number of Non-Clique students as well as the four prefects and the faculty. The school's campus provides the backdrop to the early goings on during the game but features less as parts of Bullworth are unlocked.

[edit] Trivia

  • The school is featured in the Grand Theft Auto IV TV program I'm Rich as a brief cameo suggesting the game exists in the same fictional universe as the GTA series.
  • For the duration of Chapter 1, the school gates remain locked. There is no established canon reason for this. This was done to make sure that the player explore the school first and familiarize themselves with the game controls.
