Sylvan Academy is a school for those that have proved to be adept in all areas of academics. Or so the public believes, Sylvan Academy was actually founded to hide those with 'special abilities.' Anyone in the academy would call it magic. The world would not approve of such things, it went against their rational thinking. They wouldn't be able to comprehend it, so naturally they would turn to violence. The academy teaches it's students to become good enough at controlling their powers to hide them. They're taught to how to live a normal life without drawing attention to themselves. While academics is important if you never learn to hide your abilities you don't pass. Some never pass and end up living their entire lives at the academy. Some simply don't wish to leave and become teachers or faculty at Sylvan Academy. Though whenever there is a secret there are always those that wish it to be known. Due to this the academy needs to keep a watchful eye on it's students at all times to ensure that the secret is never revealed.
School Info
Sylvan Academy academy is massive, almost the size of a small town. The campus grounds mostly consist of dorms housing the thousands of supernaturals that live here. In the center is what was at one point in time a castle. It has been refurbished and renovated to meet the needs of a school but many of it's older rooms remain locked off. It is a caged community surrounded by woods to give the students some much needed isolation but the nearest town is only a few miles down the road. It was built in southern England by Frederick Cornelius in the early 1800's. Many refer to him as the father of the academy, he is long dead but his spirit still resides at the academy walking the halls at nightfall. Though it is impossible to talk to him without performing a ritual that has been banned for a gruesome penalty for failure.
