Nevermore Academy is the main setting for the 2022 Netflix series Wednesday. It is an American academy for outcasts, located in the state of Vermont, not far from the town of Jericho.

History

Founded by Nathaniel Faulkner in 1791 on the lands of Joseph Crackstone after he was killed by Goody Addams, Nevermore Academy is an academic institution that nurtures outcasts, freaks, and monsters. It aims to unlock the full potential of their students' extraordinary abilities through world-class teaching and unique extracurriculars.

Clubs

• Drama Club: A thespian club
• Nevermore Hummers: A beekeeping club with only two members: its president, Eugene Ottinger, and Wednesday Addams. They observe and take care of bees and cultivate honey. Enid once temporarily filled in for Wednesday when she was busy.
• Pitch Slaps Club: A choir club with mainly sirens, with Bianca Barclay likely being its president. When Wednesday auditioned for it, she produced a note only audible to dogs, cracking the piano player's glasses and Larissa Weems' glass display dome.
• Archery Club: A club that only Xavier Thorpe seems to be a member of.
• Fencing Team: Morticia and Francoise were both on the fencing team when they attended Nevermore Academy. Bianca and Wednesday are on the team.
• Séance Society: A society that Morticia Addams was the president of during her tenure at Nevermore Academy.
• Nightshade Society: A secret society that focuses on the protection of outcasts from normies who would try to harm them.

Trivia

• According to Enid, the most popular tribes of outcasts at the academy are the vampires, sirens, werewolves, and gorgons.
• Ophelia Hall is named after a character in Shakespeare's Hamlet.
• Although Nevermore was made for outcasts, they also allow (or at least allowed) normies, with Marilyn Thornhill being the first member of the faculty to be a normie.
• The academy's name seems to be a clear reference to and nod to Edgar Allan Poe's narrative poem The Raven, in which the bird, the Raven, shrieks only one word: "Nevermore!".
