Academy
Everyone that is of 14-19 in age, usually attends the nightfall academy. It is thought of and widely regarded as the number one place to send supernatural teens. This place allows them to harness their powers and gifts, under the cover of safety from the human world. It also provides them with new skills to help them blend in with the outside world. The school hopes to give them the best of both worlds.
The school day usually consists of the same things for all years and species. A mixture of mundane and supernatural classes, some tailored to be species specific. School starts at 9 am and finishes around 4 for core classes, after which clubs and activities begin. With Wednesday evenings usually being reserved for all things sports. So if the school holds games and events it will most likely be on a Wednesday evening. During school hours students are expected to wear a uniform. Outside of which students are left to wear whatever they feel comfortable in.
The uniform consists of :
- Deep green placer with silver school embolism
- Black trousers or skirt. Shorts to the knee in summer
- White blouse or shirt
- Deep green and silver tie
The school are quite strict on the uniform and like everyone to look their best. However they only deal with clothing, Students are permitted to wear their hair and makeup however they wish. If uniform rules are broken there may be consequences.
