Description: Welton Academy is an all boys preparatory school established in 1859. In her first year, Welton Academy graduated five students. In 1958 it graduated fifty-one. And more than seventy-five percent of those went on to the Ivy League. The film's Welton Academy in Vermont was fictional, based on a Nashville prep school Schulman attended as a teen. More than 100 schools across the country were considered as the setting of Welton Academy. When "Poets" director Peter Weir pulled up to St. Andrews School for the first time "his eyes got as big as saucers," producer Steven Haft told The News Journal at the time. "He turned to me and said, 'This is it.'"
