St. Sophia's School for Girls

St. Sophia's School for Girls is the gothic, private school in the heart of Chicago where Lily and Scout attend. St. Sophia's is an exclusive (and expensive) school with a proud record of successful graduates who go on to positions of power and financial success. The school itself is a creepy, old structure. A convent in its former life, Lily thinks it would be the perfect setting for a horror film when she lays eyes on it the first time: "Dismal, gray stone. Lots of tall, skinny windows, and one giant round one in the middle. Fanged, grinning gargoyles perched at each corner of the steep roof" (Pages 5-6). Inside the school, a labyrinth of limestone corridors connects the various halls and, once past the corrugated iron door, connects St. Sophia's with the rest of underground Chicago.
