COVID-19 has made our days lazier, our nights binge-watch sessions, and our routines a mess, but most importantly, it has distanced us from schools. Even though we attend online classes, nothing can give us the same feeling as attending physical classes– being with our friends, talking about our crushes, and gossiping about batch mates.
If you are waiting for your schools to reopen or have already completed your school education, Netflix has blessed you with some wonderful series to take you on a nostalgic ride!
If you are looking for some series to take you back to your school days, here are the 5 Netflix series surrounding school life!

For every one of us, the school has been a unique experience. We all have our battles to fight– just like Sam. Sam’s journey to finishing high school, finding a girlfriend, and making his dreams come true can fill all of us with warmth and give us numerous moments of relatability.
2. Never Have I Ever
Devi Vishwakumar, an Indian-American, is living her best life as a school student. A troublemaker who has the habit of getting an A+ in every subject, Devi makes us imagine the scenario of living in America with an Indian family.
She tries to manage her family tradition and, at the same time, tries to fit in with American culture. What’s more, just like every other high school, hers also has Paxton Hall Yoshida, who can make girls fall in love with her.
Devi is not a popular student, and her circle includes a science fanatic, Fabioa, who is coming out of the closet, and Eleanor, who has an obsession with becoming an actor.
3. Elite
A Spanish teen drama that has in it not only conventional teen problems but also a thriller to solve. Three working-class students enter an exclusive private institution, and the class difference leads to a clash between the wealthy students and the three of them.
A string of events leads to murder, and the series jumps from the present, where the police are investigating the students, to the past, where the incident occurred. The film strives to solve the mystery and is a great watch!
4. Al Rawabi School for Girls
Bullying may not be normal, but it has become common in high school. Whether it is class differences or beauty standards, most of us must have been bullied or have bullied someone at least once in our school life.
Al Rawabi School for Girls is from Jordan. A Netflix original miniseries, it revolves around the life of Mariam, who is living a straightforward and disciplined life.
She spends most of her time hanging out with her friend Dina. However, at Al Rawabi School, Mariam, along with other meek students, is persistently bullied by the elite group of students.
