Andy Roddick
Sexy American tennis player Andy Roddick graduated from Boca Raton Preparatory School (FL) in 2000 and went straight to the pros. But apparently Roddick also played basketball for fun, unbeknownst to his disapproving parents. He told RiseMag.com, "I used to tell my parents I was going to watch the basketball games and had my uniform packed in the back of the car. I got in trouble finally when my name was in the newspaper."

Britney Spears
We wonder what Britney Spears was like in high school before the pressures and temptations of Hollywood drove her into a constant wrecking train. She attended Parklane Academy in McComb, Mississippi for awhile, before going on to pursue her career. She even did normal things like play on the basketball team. Weird. Now her hobbies include head-shaving, swimming in the ocean in her skivvies, and having other various meltdowns.

Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal
Both the Gyllenhaal sibs went to private school, but not the same one. Hunky Jake Gyllenhaal attended Harvard-Westlake in Sherman Oaks, CA. New mom Maggie briefly got her education halfway across the world in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Sounds like it's kind of a big deal.

Nick Lachey
Former boy band member Nick Lachey attended Cincinatti, OH's School for the Creative and Performing Arts. So, it seems like Nick always knew he wanted to sing. Too bad no one really wants to hear him do it anymore. At least you're still famous, Nick. Keep hanging out with hot chicks like Jessica Simpson and Vanessa Minnillo and it will probably stay that way.

Nicole Richie
Oh, you're so surprised Nicole Richie, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, went to private school, right? BFF with Paris Hilton (which let's just admit now that she's the most famous socialite ever) growing up, there's no question Nicole would have to have been priveledged from the beginning. Nicole attented both Monclair Prep in Van Nuys, CA and Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, CA,

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
The fact that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were working before they could walk makes it no surprise that the twins enrolled in private school. Not only were they already famous with there own production company called Dualstar Entertainment, the girls could most definitely pay their own way through pricey private school tuitions. When not on set, MK and Ash went to, and graduated from, Campbell Hall in North Hollywood, CA.

Paris Hilton
We felt like it might not even be necessary to mention Paris Hilton because it's so blantantly obvious that she went to private school. But we saw a chance to make fun of her. Paris first went to Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, CA, then the family transferred to the East Coast, where Paris went to boarding school Canterbury in New Mildord, CT. She lasted for a year then opted for New York City and enrolled at Dwight. After all that trouble and all the transferring, is it any surprise that Paris never graduated high school?

Reese Witherspoon
Southern belle Reese Witherspoon got her charming manners from Harpeth Hall, an all girls school in Nashville, Tennessee. Reese's father was a physician and could afford an education that separated his daughter from the courting young Southern boys.

Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is notorious for her the relaxed and cool attitude she emits in interviews. According to her mom, at age three she announced she had a "fire in her brain to act." So, it seems in front of the camera is where Scarlett was meant to be. She perfected her craft at Professional Children's School in NY, NY, a place with many famous alum including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christina Ricci, Mischa Barton, Tara Reid, Julia Stiles, etc, etc, etc. Whew, that place is doing something right.
