The '''school''' that [[Lain]] attends along with her classmates [[Alice]], [[Reika]] and [[Juri]] has no name in any of the works. [[Alice's teacher]] and [[Lain's teacher]] work here.
The school that [[Lain]] attends is called '''Ouka Private Girls' Academy''' (私立鷗華女子学園, shiritsu ouka joshi gakuen), according to [[Visual Experiments Lain]] and [[Scenario Experiments Lain]]. It contains a middle school, high school, and college all on the same campus. [[Lain]] and her classmates [[Alice]], [[Reika]] and [[Juri]] are all enrolled in the junior high school. [[Alice's teacher]] and [[Lain's teacher]] work here.
Though the school is supposed to be an all-girls school, in [[Layer 04]] Lain and her friends talk about a [[high school senior|male upperclassman]] who had recently committed suicide. [[Chiaki Konaka|Konaka]] admits that this was his own oversight in a footnote in [[Scenario Experiments Lain]].

The school crest is not depicted clearly or consistently, but most of the time it appears to be a red shield, bordered in yellow and again narrowly in blue, with an indistinguishable blob in its center. (In one original illustration by [[Yoshitoshi ABe]], the central figure looks like a white bird, but in later illustrations by [[Takahiro Kishida]] and Hidenori Matsuhara, it looks like a blue blob, only vaguely bird-shaped, if at all.)

The upperclasswomen's uniforms appear to be slightly different; [[Mika]]'s blazer has white piping on its lapel.
