What is the name of the school attended by the children in C.S. Lewis’s The Silver Chair?

The children in C.S. Lewis’s The Silver Chair attend Experiment House.

Experiment House is the English school attended by Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole at the beginning of the 1953 Narnia novel. Jill is being bullied there, and Eustace introduces her to the possibility of escaping into another world. Soon afterward, the two children reach Narnia and receive a mission from Aslan.

The school is portrayed negatively, with bullying and social cruelty forming an important contrast to the values the children encounter in Narnia. Lewis uses the setting to establish Jill’s vulnerability and to explain why she is ready to listen when Eustace speaks about the magical world.

Experiment House is not a Narnian institution and is not the same place as Cair Paravel, the royal castle. The school appears only briefly, but its name is a specific detail that helps distinguish this novel from other entries in the series.
