The central portion of the school is an open-air courtyard. Above the banner are four rectangular windows, a large circular window, and a smaller circular window on each side. Above the doors is a white banner with a red outline hanging down. The double entrance doors are dark oak, with gray handles. The steps leading up to the entrance door widen as they approach the sidewalk and vice versa towards the entrance. The front of the building has eight large arched windows, each slightly inset with a striped design above them. The exterior of the school is tan with a slate blue cobblestone roof. These changes are likely to not confuse American audiences where ninth grade is the first year of high school. The original French dub says it is for "troisième (ninth grade)" which is the last year of collège/middle school in France. The English dub often calls it a high school, and Alya in " The Pharaoh" says that Ladybug's history textbook is a 10th grade book in the English dub. There are some inconsistencies in English dub regarding the grade level of the students.
Note: The French word "collège" does not translate to the English word "college." Its meaning is "junior high school/middle school." Middle school in France lasts four years, starting in "sixième" (French equivalent to 6th grade) until "troisième" (French equivalent to 9th grade), which explains why the protagonists are between 13 and 15.

I've had enough of being shut up at home by my dad.
