Octavian Country Day

OCD as seen in The Clique (2008)

Octavian Country Day (OCD) is the all-girls private school that the Pretty Committee attends in The Clique. It is located in Westchester, New York.

The school was temporarily renamed Briarwood-Octavian Country Day (BOCD) after Briarwood Academy was flooded and its students were forced to attend OCD while Briarwood was being repaired.

OCD does not have a uniform dress code because they believe in freedom and self-expression. The school colors are navy and burgundy, and the soccer team is known as "The Sirens".

The school's tuition is $40,000 a year and is the home of thirteen Fortune 500 CEOs, seven gold-medal Olympians, four Pulitzer Prize winners, three Oscar winners, two senators and one Secretary of State.
