Theresa A. Gold Academy – The New York K-12 academy that features in Golden in Death. It was five stories, brick, with security cams over its double entrance doors. The top floors were dormitories for boarding students, so they had administrative staff around the clock. Regular school hours were eight a.m. to three p.m., Monday through Friday, with specialty classes from nine a.m. to two p.m. on Saturday. Lectures and performances were listed on the website. There was a large gold seal centered on the white marble floor in the main entrance, with two security stations flanking it. There was a life-size portrait of the benefactor and founder, and a wall with an enormous glass case displaying a multitude of awards. The school colors were gold and navy.[1]
