St Catherine's Boarding School
is extremely exclusive. So exclusive that even though its students come from all over the world, the entire population is only around six hundred students, and these are all children and teenagers of every age. This is not because the screening process is too intense for most; in fact, they only ask one question. The problem is that the answer for the majortity of the human population is 'no': do they possess any powers of the supernatural variety?
Founded in 1913 by a priest who could create light with a snap of his fingers, St Catherine's was originally a very religion-oriented institution. It is now, however, simply a place where teens came come to develop their powers, feel normal, and prepare themselves to assimilate into the real world, when they are old enough. For those will unable to do this because of disfigurations or lack of control, the school becomes a permanent home. These individuals often become the teacher-like figures at the school.
See, in a place like this you can't really have classes, and lessons. Basic math, science, and english are taught to the younger pupils, but after that if you want to learn it's everyone for themself. This makes St Catherine's a sort of a paradise for some students. For others not so much. Either way, this school just isn't an academic place. It's a place to learn how to use their gifts and develop their morals; St Catherine's is, for most, simply a checkpoint in life, a place you stay for a moment and move on. It's a place were you figure out what fork in the road you'll choose. Will you go down the dark path, and use your powers to get your own way? Will you smother your powers and try to live a 'normal' life? Or will you put on a spandex jumpsuit and cape and protect those who are weaker than you?
