William Wenton and the Impossible Puzzle

(4) 4-6 Translated by Tara Chace. William Wenton, a genius puzzle-solver, breaks the family rule of keeping a low profile and solves a museum exhibit called the Impossible Puzzle, which lands him in a secret boarding school full of equally (well, not quite) gifted kids. This Norwegian-import series-starter isn't a standout example of the gifted-boarding-school premise, and readers interested in ciphers and codes may wish for more examples.
