Spy School and Mrs. Smith's Spy School for Girls.

lawbreakers. However, instead of being hailed as a hero, Sara finds
herself facing years in a juvenile detention facility and banned from
using computers for the same stretch of time. Enter Mother, a British
spy who not only gets Sara released from jail but also offers her a
chance to make a home for herself within a secret MI6 agency.
Operating out of a base in Scotland, the City Spies are five kids from
various parts of the world. When they're not attending the local
boarding school, they're honing their unique skills, such as sleight of
hand, breaking and entering, observation, and explosives. All of these
allow them to go places in the world of espionage where adults can't.
Before she knows what she's doing, Sarah is heading to Paris for an
international youth summit, hacking into a rival school's computer to
prevent them from winning a million euros, dangling thirty feet off the
side of a building, and trying to stop a villain...all while navigating
the complex dynamics of her new team.
