Course Archives

Yes, Siren School really is a school. 
No, probably not like the kind you're used to.
Our curriculum centers around topics of interest to sirens.  These include female archetypes, exotic locales, food, fantasy, fashion, fitness.... After all, isn't that what everyone's interested in?

By student request, we are now beginning to catalogue past themes posted on our social media pages, beginning with those we didn't even realize we were featuring.  We have around 100 albums so we'll add to this list little by little each week, most likely while watching past seasons of Game of Thrones.  There's a good chance the list will be up-to-date by season 4.

If you'd like to see your topic of choice showcased, just put a bee in our bonnet by emailing us at LecoleSirene@gmail.com.
