Marina Peffel School

Marina Peffel School (Reshan: Skolsk Marina Peffel, typically shortened to Peffel) is a public gymnasium located in the Holsbask borough of Hederhelm, Resha. The school was opened in 1954, and named after feminist and educator Marina Peffel.

The school is also the setting for the television series, Havershom, which has greatly increased its recognition.

Curriculum
The school is a gymnasium which offers all the main programs: mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, literature and history, foreign language, law, and business, while its social sciences programs are generally thought of to be the strongest. Being a public school, it follows the national curriculum of Resha.

Havershom
The popular Reshan teen comedy-drama, Havershom, which began airing in 2011, is set at Peffel. Due to the popularity of the series, Peffel has experienced immense popularity, and has turned into one of the most sought after gymnasiums in the city. Prior to the airing of the show, the school regularly received about 1,000 applicants annually. In 2015, the school received over 50,000 applicants and only regularly admits about 750 students.

School principal, Samanta Nelger, has welcomed the new popularity, saying, "Everyone at Marina Peffel School is happy to see a newfound interest in attending our school. However, I must inform all applicants that they should choose a high school based on who is offering the most to benefit them personally, not based on their favorite TV show". Because of the popularity of the show, Peffel has developed a reputation of being one of the most exclusive gymnasiums in Hederhelm, with their acceptance rate decreasing from 69% in 2010 to 2% in 2013. By 2017, their acceptance rate increased to the more regular 38%.
