Xaviers School for the Gifted

Xavier's School for the Gifted was founded on the 1st of January, 1999. It is located in Westchester, New York, about eighty miles north-east of New York City. Officially it is n private preparatory school for exceptional students, offering education through 12th grade and into college advanced placement.

In reality Xavier's School for the Gifted is a home for metahumans to hone both their unique talents and their minds, in an environment monitored and supervised by other metahumans. After the Johnson-Kinsey [[[Mutant Relocation Act]]] in 2006, the population at Xavier's quadrupled almost overnight. Less than a year later, the 'First Class' of Xavier graduates took to the field to use their metahuman talents in the fight for equality. They have been dubbed the "[[[X-Men]]]" by the metahuman community aware of their existence, though are as much rumor as reality for most mutants at this point.

There are currently three 'classes' at Xavier's, though they are informal social sortings rather than being used for formal matriculation.

The [[[First Class]]] is the original gang of graduates, including [[[Jean Grey]]] and [[[Scott Summers]]]. Jean is the youngest, at 27 years old.

'[[[Gen-X]]]' includes mutants now in their early to mid-twenties. Most of them have graduated academically and stay on as teachers or coaches. Some live in the area and stay available for missions.

'[[[New Mutants]]]' include the students from around 15-21 years of age. Many of them are still enrolled scholastically full time, which does very little to keep them from getting into youthful hijinks.

The much-smaller Pacific Coast Institute is administered by a Xavier graduate and serves the metahuman population on the west side of the United States.
