Ikibomot High School is located in the town of Wickham, Massachusetts. Wickham is an old seaport town on Massachusetts Bay, about thirty miles from Boston. The town sits on Wickham Point, a small peninsula which juts out into the bay for a couple of miles on a roughly northwest- southeast axis.
On the southeastern tip of Wickham Point sits the "Old Town", a historic seaport dating back to the Puritan colonial times. This is a designated historic district and gets some tourist traffic visiting the old waterfront area.
The school is in the middle of the peninsula. Its campus is not on the waterfront, although the school property includes a slice of land extending to the northern shore. There is a private beach within easy walking distance of campus, reached by a nature trail that winds through pine woods and beach scrub.
On the northwestern end of the Point, where it meets the mainland, are the Ikibomot Corporate Research Labs. This facility occupies a campus larger than that of the school, and employs several thousand people. There is a train station near the main plant entrance, with regular commuter service south to Boston and north to the suburbs.
To the west of the Point, across the tracks from the Ikibomot facility, is the "New Town": the houses built for new Ikibomot employees and the new shops and services required by the influx of population. This is a thoroughly modern suburban community.
