At Erewood Academy for the Gifted, brilliance is not just expected-it's weaponized. Each year, the school selects a handful of students whose mastery of a single subject borders on the supernatural. The result? A classroom packed with teenagers who all think they're civilization's greatest gift... and who argue about it nonstop.
Meet the chaos:
Maxwell Percival Granger (Math) sees life as one giant equation, convinced numbers can solve anything.
Lila Marigold Whitmore (Literature) narrates her life like a tragic novel, claiming words have more soul than science.
Soren Alistair Holt (Science) lives for experiments-half of which explode.
Clara Beatrix Davenport (History) can turn any argument into a lecture on Rome, Greece, or some long-dead empire.
Theodore Lucien Bellamy (Art) floats in his own dream world, sure that creativity alone saves humanity.
Together, they form the academy's most brilliant-and unbearable-class, driving their teacher, Ms. Harriet Finch, to the brink of nervous collapse. Between failed study sessions, combustible science fairs, overly dramatic debates, and sports days that turn into history reenactments, the geniuses spend more time battling each other's egos than learning.
But when Erewood hosts rival prodigies like Evelyn Blackwood (Math), Adrian Moreau (Literature), Dr. Felix Kane (Science), Octavia Locke (History), and Damien Voss (Art), the classroom erupts into an all-out war of wits. Suddenly, the question isn't just who's the smartest-but whether Erewood Academy can even survive them.
Academy: Chaos 101 is a sharp, witty comedy about brilliance at its most unbearable, where genius is easy, but cooperation is impossible.
