The Daventry High School was a school in Daventry.

Background[]

Graham went there as an adolescent (it may be part of the Palace School). King Graham learned about clouds when he went there.

Graham believed that the clouds making up the Land of the Clouds were cumulus clouds; however, he couldn't remember for sure since it had been a long time since he had been in school.[1]

It is likely located in the Town of Daventry and is next level between the Palace School, and the Royal University.

Behind the scenes[]

The reference to Daventry High School is found by looking at the clouds while on the beanstalk.

According to King's Quest Companion Graham also went to the Palace School and the Royal University. It's unclear if the Daventry High School is another name for the Palace School or another school altogether.

Graham was 19 at the time of KQ1, according to a few sources. While 'long time' is subjective, it would suggest probably a few years had passed since he graduated, plus the time he spent going to Royal University, the years spent training in the Daventry army, before he graduated from Knight School, it would suggest he probably graduated Daventry Highschool in his mid-teens (14-15), giving him about two-four years for university (assuming he was also training in the army at the same time, if he was there longer), and probably a few weeks to a year in "Knight School" to achieve knight status (assuming its like a special officer's training in modern military setting, this of course could have occurred while he was going to the University as well).
