Keziah and Ibbi, two London kids who misbehave at school in the UK, sign up for a week at one of America's tough military academies. Will a spell at Extreme School be the making of them?
14-year-old Keziah runs away from her teachers when challenged, while 13-year-old Ibbi just likes to argue with them, and they both regularly land themselves in trouble for winding each other up. But the kids find out pretty quickly that this kind of behaviour won't be tolerated at the academy when they meet the school's commandant, Colonel Harris.
The new recruits get a taste of military discipline immediately when the infamous First Sergeant Powell orders Ibbi to do press-ups after a failed uniform inspection.
To graduate successfully from Extreme School, the kids must stick to all school rules, follow the strict uniform policy, show improvement in their behaviour and pass a big final challenge. On top of all that they face a packed school timetable which pushes them to the limit both physically and mentally. For their final challenge they must rely on each other and work together to perform a complicated military drill in front of the whole school. Will old habits die hard or will they finally put aside their differences?
