Clava Clausa Conference

The Clava Clausa Conference (CCC), also known as the Triple C, is a Quentinian athletic and academic conference with affiliations with QUACA and the Quentinian Organization for Private Education. The conference is made up of the five most academically prestigious schools in the United States of Quentin, with some of the lowest acceptance rates, highest rates of academic achievement, and highest admission prices in the country. The conference's current members include Praecepta College, Mayberry University, Dearnburg College, Woodhill College, and Switzer City University, also known simply as Switzer City.

The conference was officially founded in 1897, as an academic league comprising the most socially elite of the current Quentinian colleges and universities. Most of its five members were founded in the 1860's by wealthy businessmen, with Mayberry being founded in 1890, and Switzer City being founded in 1872. The groups began to compete in the early 1900's in certain athletic events such as running, shooting, and lifting, however it wasn't until the founding of QUACA that the league was renamed the Clava Clausa Conference, and officially became an athletic division. Throughout the 20th century the colleges continued to have the highest academic and scientific achievement in the nation, though in the 1990's and into the 21st century, larger universities such as Wagner and Firedawn and the University of Lindin began competing with the five schools for academic supremacy. Regardless, Clava Clausa schools today still rank highly, in the top ten of schools in the nation. Currently, Praecepta ranks first in the country, with Woodhill ranking third, Switzer City fifth, Dearnburg sixth, and Mayberry tenth, as of 2020. The CCC schools are also ranked high internationally, in terms of both quality and admission prices.
