This school, located in the skies above Metropolis, is famous for training young people with powers, including offering a full, formal pre-university education that covers subjects from the classical to the cutting edge technological. However, it is most widely known for giving its student instruction in how to safely utilize their powers and, if they so choose, to prepare for a career as a superhero. Founded by a board of like-minded instructors, it grew out of a private school that was previously run by the school's current principal, Charles Xavier.
As a school, it has been known to employ both career educators and those with respectable reputations as heroes. Notably, while the school is best known for teaching students about super powers, in truth it teaches any students with particular gifts. Budding inventors and investigators have as much to learn, here, as young superhumans do.

Physical Description
The school is built upon a massive, flying silver platform that is easily the size of a full city block. The outer edges are bordered by safety railings and walkways, which adjoin patches of grass and stands of clustered trees. Several large trees of varying sorts stand scattered here and there. The central part of the grounds is taken up by the main building, whose floor plan is shaped like a sleek silver "U," with the open part facing south. Here, a broad walkway leads into the courtyard of the building, within the "U" shape, where trees and shrubs surround a small plaza with benches and tables offering a place to relax.
The main entrance of the building opens northwards into the apex of the building's curve. The futuristic structure is all smooth lines and gleaming surfaces, and plants have been worked into every available free space, giving the whole place a kind of clean, green feeling to balance the super-modern design. The walls feature many large windows, many of which include balconies laden with more greenery.
Integrated with all the greenery, the technology is often out of sight yet its presence is felt. Security includes devices to baffle unwarranted genetic scans or similar invasions of privacy for students whose identities are not public, while interactive holograms provide helpful information.
