دانلود کتاب The Academy 2025

The Academy by Elin Hilderbrand and Shelby Cunningham takes place over the course of a school year at the prestigious Tiffin Academy, an elite boarding school in New England. On move-in day the students arrive to a mixture of excitement and confusion — shortly before, the school unexpectedly jumped to Number Two in the national boarding school rankings, despite its inconsistent academic record and underperforming sports teams.

Among the arriving students is Charley Hicks, who transfers into the dorm room of a student who died by suicide the previous spring. Meanwhile there are many other students and staff — an influencer queen bee, new teachers, an unconventional admissions director — each with their own secrets and scores to settle. Tension builds when an anonymous app called ZipZap begins circulating blind items, gossip, and betrayals throughout the campus.

As the year progresses, the characters are forced to confront not only one another but also their own identities, loyalties, and hidden pains. Bonds are formed and broken, power dynamics shift, and what seemed like superficial prestige begins to feel precarious. Elin Hilderbrand and Shelby Cunningham explore themes of belonging, reputation, grief, and the performance of self — especially within a high-pressure environment where image matters and secrets have consequences.

The Academy is dramatic, emotionally rich, and layered, blending scandal, social drama, and personal growth¹.
