The Maleficent star currently attends Campbell Hall School in LA which was also attended by child stars Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen.

While the Fanning sisters are both known for their serious acting skills, fame has always taken a back seat to their education.

In 2011 big sister Dakota dropped out of a film coincidentally called 'If I Stay' because she insisted on finishing her senior year of high school before she took on any big projects, according to a report by the LA Times.

Elle proudly displayed her 'Seniors 2016' polo shirt as she enters her final year before her high school graduation next year. 

As the school year begins Elle revealed what she does on her seasonal breaks in a New York Daily News report.

The actress revealed one of her favorite activities when she has free time is sneaking onto the famous Pebble Beach golf course with a few pals.

'We always break into the golf course,' Fanning confessed. 'You can climb up the rocks and get on the golf course.  I guess it’s illegal, but. . .'

Elle plays the role of Princess Aurora in Maleficent and confessed she was nervous about her first meeting with co-star Angelina Jolie.

'When you hear "Angelina Jolie," that’s just a name,' she said. 'When I met her, she became, like, flesh — someone who wasn’t just a big celebrity.'
