Mischa Barton Goes Back to School

if she wanted to take her acting to the next level, this was what she needed to do." Her rep confirms to Us, "She's visiting family and is taking a couple classes."

Of course, that "next level" they're talking about is the first level in Mischa's case, because if you've ever seen her "work," you know she's never had an acting lesson in her life, besides "be pretty." The only question I have is whether they teach how not to look like a deer in the headlights at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. I'm sure they do, but that's probably in the second year.

And here are some pictures of Mischa on her way to school. In the normal world, people also don't take your picture as you walk to class. More pictures after the jump.
