Sorry, it occurred to me after I added it that The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tyler is not about a boarding school.

Boarding schools are the ones that the kids/teens/college[ Lives in] stay in. So yes college ones can count but if the main character lives at the college.
I deleted "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Picture of Dorian Grey", because it is never ever about a boarding school.
Madeleine is set in an orphanage - A Little Princess is indeed set in a boarding school. (Sara Crewe is the only orphan there.)
If I made a queer-vibes boarding school list, would anyone help me compile? I don't have many in mind but I want that list pretty badly.
Susanna - Censored by GoodReads wrote: "Madeleine is set in an orphanage - A Little Princess is indeed set in a boarding school. (Sara Crewe is the only orphan there.)"Madeline is about a boarding school, not an orphanage.
Daddy-Long-Legs is set at a women's college, not a "boarding school." I'd let it go if it were a college in England, but in the U.S. "college" is the equivalent of university.
Mandy is set at an orphanage.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is set, I'm practically certain, at a day school.
Little Town on the Prairie was definitely a day school (Laura, while teaching, stayed with a local family, as the school was too far from her home).
