Ericson's Boarding School (Video Game)

Ericson's Boarding School for Troubled Youth is a building, later converted to a community of survivors, that appears in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season Four.

Pre-Apocalypse
It was a boarding school before the outbreak began. The school's headmaster owned a dog named Rosie. The school had a nurse called Ms. Martin who was very interested in science and plants. Marlon and Louis were on the school sports team together. Most of the other survivors encountered in the present day of Season 4 where students there. The remaining students each have a variety of reasons for being sent there including: violence, building pipebombs, credit card theft and even chronic masturbation in Willy's case.

Post-Apocalypse
During the start of the outbreak the headmaster and all of the teachers, with the exception of Ms. Martin, fled the school leaving the approximately 42 children there to fend for themselves. One of the older students, Marlon, took the role of leader of the remaining students and became the new owner of the headmaster's dog after he left it behind. Sometime later, Ms. Martin was attacked and killed by walkers in the school greenhouse. Unfortunately the school soon suffered as many as 30 other casualties, as well as the kidnapping of twins Sophie and Minerva. By the events of "Done Running" only Marlon, Rosie and a small group of nine other children still inhabit the school.
