I want it to either be:

_________ Prep

_________ Academy

It's a school for the artistically gifted. Any ideas?

The best I could come up with is Sleepy Hollow Academy and Ashwood Prep.

  2. what about Renaissance Academy, since the renaissance was the period when some of history's greatest artists existed.

    Ren·ais·sance:

    1. the activity, spirit, or time of the great revival of art, literature, and learning in Europe beginning in the 14th century and extending to the 17th century, marking the transition from the medieval to the modern world.  

    2. the forms and treatments in art used during this period.  

    3. (sometimes lowercase) any similar revival in the world of art and learning.  

    4. (lowercase) a renewal of life, vigor, interest, etc.; rebirth; revival: a moral renaissance.  

    –adjective 5. of, pertaining to, or suggestive of the European Renaissance of the 14th through the 17th centuries: Renaissance attitudes.  

    6. noting or pertaining to the group of architectural styles existing in Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries as adaptations of ancient Roman architectural details or compositional forms to contemporary uses, characterized at first by the free and inventive use of isolated details, later by the more imitative use of whole orders and compositional arrangements, with great attention to the formulation of compositional rules after the precepts of Vitruvius and the precedents of existing ruins, and at all periods by an emphasis on symmetry, exact mathematical relationships between parts, and a general effect of simplicity and repose.  

    7. noting or pertaining to any of the various adaptations of this group of styles in foreign architecture characterized typically by the playful or grotesque use of isolated details in more or less traditional buildings.  

    8. noting or pertaining to the furnishings or decorations of the Renaissance, in which motifs of classical derivation frequently appear.  


  3. When writing a book you don’t want to get stuck on the small stuff. You want to make sure you keep the inspiration flowing. You have two options. 1) for many things including characters that don’t have names I'll just put a line where the name should be. In your case it would stay __Prep till one day a name just popped in your head (as good ideas often do). Option 2) Name the school after the town (at least till inspiration hits you). Let's say the name of the town was Charleston. So for now it would be Charleston Prep or Charleston Academy. Oh! Or for fun you could try an anagram. Take a name or something that means something to you and switch the letters around till it makes a great name for your school. If you end up keeping it that way then you'll have a little secret all to yourself. In my book I used my name as a characters title, but no one knows because I jumbled the letters to spell something else. In my book, it's my little secret. Good Luck!  

  4. Heathrow Academy

  5. How about Ansel Adams Academy?  Ansel Adams was a famous photographer.
