Wayside (also known as Wayside School) is a 2005 Canadian animated television film created by Louis Sachar, developed by John Derevlany and produced by Nelvana. The film follows Todd, a transfer student, who attends Wayside, a 30-story-tall grammar school that has a reputation for the ridiculous. After a mix up with the contractor, the school was built sideways with the rooms stacked on top of each other instead of side-to-side, resulting in an Escher-esque design revolved around a fantasy environment and kid knowledge.

Wayside was conceived to be a series in 2004 by Derevlany and the movie was a pitch for Teletoon. The series was approved for 26 episodes spread across two seasons in 2007.
