The story
Skooled is a Canadian children's educational television series produced by Toronto production company Breakthrough Films & Television and originally broadcast on TVOntario in Canada, and syndicated to other networks throughout the world.
The show was filmed at Lakefield College School in Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield, Ontario, near Peterborough.
The second season was filmed with a new cast, including the return of Phil Pallen as vice principal of the school. The second season was filmed at another private boarding school, Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario. The "students" of the school were secondary school teachers from all over Ontario.
Show synopsis
The reality series follow five teenagers who swap roles with their teachers for eight days. During the exchange, the teenagers are responsible for teaching while the teachers participate as students in classes while covering subjects such as physical education, current issues, music, life skills and psychology. The role swap gives the teachers an opportunity to re-live the student life, while the teenagers learn how hard it is to teach and the challenges that comes with it.
Domestic and international syndication
Skooled also airs additionally on several other provincial educational networks in Canada, and in the past, the defunct network BBC Kids.
The program also airs in the United States on the Heroes & Icons network and South Africa's e.tv.
