Tokiwadai Middle School

is a prestigious girls’ middle school. Of the currently named schools in Academy City, it is the one containing the most characters in the series.
==Principles==
It is one of the five most prestigious schools of Academy City and is said to be the most renowned girls’ school in the world. It is also mentioned that it had once sparked an international incident for refusing to admit a girl from a royal family because she wasn’t good enough. Prologue Tokiwadai teaches its students more than the average middle school and gives lectures on a university level, as they want their students to stand on the front lines of their field when they graduate. Chapter 9 Part 6
Currently, Unabara Mitsuki's grandmother is the director/administrator of the school. Chapter 2 Part 1
===Student Demographics===
The entry requirement is esper ability Level 3 or higher, and the school currently contains a total of around 180 students. Chapter 1 Part 3 Of the 180 students, there are currently 2 Level 5 espers, 47 Level 4 espers, 1 Level 2 esper,Houjou Arei is only Level 2, but because of her highly specialized skills and her ability to apply her power she was considered to be equivalent to a Level 3. Because of this, she was allowed to enter Tokiwadai Middle School. and the rest being Level 3 espers. Chapter 1 Part 3
===Uniform===
The uniforms worn by all Tokiwadai students seen so far have been comprised of a short-sleeved white dress shirt worn under a light brown vest with the school emblem on the left side. For bottoms, the girls wear dark tan pocketed skirts that reach halfway down their thighs. There seems to be no uniform requirement for socks or shoes and other additions in between, such as Mikoto's shorts.
In Volume 12, it is mentioned like all other schools in Academy City, Tokiwadai has a separate set of uniform for winter time as opposed to summer. It comprises of a tan buttoned blazer (a shade darker than the summer vest), a checkered blue skirt with black and tan criss-crossing lines, as well as a red ribbon tie.
Tokiwadai Middle School's rules state that students are not allowed to wear casual clothes inside the school or in the dormitory as it is still part of the entire school. Even on days off, students are still required to wear their uniforms. Chapter 2 Part 1
The marketing department of White Spring Holdings helped design Tokiwadai Middle School's uniform.
===Campus===
Tokiwadai is located in the School Garden, an area inside Academy City consisting of Tokiwadai and four other girl's schools, with a shopping area dedicated to the rich young girls.
The school is fairly large, other than the main building which probably holds its classrooms and a library, it also holds a track and field area and also a large swimming pool (which is used by staff to measure Mikoto's power). The school also contains a showering area.
Tokiwadai has two dormitories, one of them is outside of the School Garden and where Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko reside in, and the other one which is in the School Garden where Kongou Mitsuko takes residence.
====Judgment 003 Branch Office====
The school building has a room within the campus allocated to its own branch of Judgment, . Shirai Kuroko is a member and assists the office.
====Returning Bath Facility====
 is one of the three bathing facilities to be found in Tokiwadai Middle School. It is a subsidiary of the school, and is used exclusively for students to clean themselves up.
=====Appearance=====
It is as large as five classrooms, and there are close to 90 showerheads. Each of them is separated by white partition boards and a sliding door. The doors aren't as big as the boards, which only hide the chest down to the thigh of an averaged sized middle school student from Tokiwadai. Chapter 1 Part 1
In the anime adaptations, the shower room seems to be smaller due to perspective restrictions, showing only the shower partitions near to the wall. However, it serves the same purpose as it is in the novels. It has advanced shower controls, lockers, tables for glasses and drinks, cabinets for various bathing implements, as well as ornamental plants, and seats for students to sit on.
===Activities===
Other than the usual events the school participates in like the Daihaseisai. Tokiwadai seem to hold a Midsummer Festival which is held in the dormitory that is not in the School Garden, here the students are to wear maid ensembles and have them welcome and serve guests, they give and invite the guests in demonstrations like flower arrangement, sewing, etc., and at the end of the festival someone from the festival is to give a performance. In the current year, Misaka Mikoto was voted to give the performance.
====Clubs====
Some of Tokiwadai's students also participate in club activities.Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (light novel) Chapter 4
Known clubs in Tokiwadai include:

Archery Club 	Yumiya Iruka (Captain) 	
Art Club 	 	An unnamed student in the Hasekura Clique was a member of the Art Club.
 	Matsuzai Shouko 	
Equestrian Combat Club	Resanerié Sadis Dialine (Captain)	
 	 	Sakubou is likely a member of the Handicraft Club.It was previously mentioned that a member of the Kamino clique was a member of the club, though whether it was Sakubou being referred to in this case is unknown, given that this member was tasked with sculpting a fake Gekota strap mascot to fool Mikoto and Sakubou has so far only been seen with yarn-based handicraft.
Newspaper Club 	Yugure Kanaria and Nenohi Wakana 	
 	Yanagisakiin Rondo 	
Swimming Club 	Awatsuki Maaya and Wannai Kinuho 	The first year students check the filtration tank of the swimming pool. Nakamura is a manager of a swimsuit company which is sponsoring the Tokiwadai Swimming Club.
===Factions===
It is not known exactly how many factions there are in Tokiwadai, however, it is known that a is an organization that functions like a scholar club.
Factions are outlets for a group of students with similar goals to gather in school, to request for facilities and funding from the school’s board of directors, and to finally strike it big in a national event. Just by this definition alone, maybe a faction isn’t that much different from a school’s social club. Larger factions will get more contacts, funding, and inside information, so most of these outstanding students in their areas of specialties have a faction backing them; the more accomplished the faction is, the better the reputation the faction holds, which means that they have a higher influence and can gather greater power than other factions, even to the point where the strongest factions can have power and influence outside the school.
Shirai Kuroko pointed out that factions "protect" their own positions and thus if a powerful individual outside the school starts gathering members for some purpose, it's likely that a faction or several of them will try to hamper such act. The largest faction in Tokiwadai currently belongs to Shokuhou Misaki, who is even known as "the Queen of Tokiwadai". Chapter 1 Part 4 There is also an unwritten rule saying that students not in a clique cannot join a conflict between cliques.
At the start of Mikoto and Shokuhou's first year at Tokiwadai, the school was dominated by the three cliques, known as . In order of descending size, they were the (23%), the (19%), and the (17%). 16% of students belonged to the unnamed #4-#10 cliques and the others (25%) were unaffiliated.
The leader of the largest clique typically gets a nickname like "Queen" or "Empress". One coveted title, given to the leader of a clique that remains the largest for over a year and until her graduation, is . One who earns the title is said to be guaranteed a successful career, including a spot on the city's Board of Directors. The Majesty wears an emblem signifying the position, a brooch in the shape of an infinity symbol with a flower stem woven around the loop and two spherical gems in the holes. At the time the two Level 5s entered the school, Sha Danshan was said to be closest to the title, and later that year was tentatively awarded the Majesty emblem. At least twelve students had worn the emblem beforehand.
Four years prior to the main story, Takebayashi Yayoi led the largest clique and was the closest to the title, as per the wishes of her adopted family, but lost her right to it after her arrest for the attack on Tanrei Chemicals and erasure from the school's records.

====1 Year Ago====
Known cliques/factions which were present in Tokiwadai 1 year ago include:
Name 	Leader 	Details
Sha Clique 	Sha Danshan 	First of the 'big three' cliques one year before the present. The largest at the time, its leader Sha Danshan was in her second year and said to be the closest to the title of "Majesty" at the time.
Sha and her clique believed that the gifted had a duty to do volunteer work (such as buying and greening deserts) and its members were dedicated to service, earning them popularity and power. It was suggested that their efforts might have been to thank for Tokiwadai being considered one of the top five schools. It was also suggested that the secret to Sha's popularity might have been the protective desire inspired by her weakness and frailty, having a weak constitution and being nicknamed the "Infirmary Empress".
Known members included Wu Lili, Ouyang Qian, and Lin Lihua.
Mikagami Clique	Mikagami Nagisa	Second of the 'big three' cliques one year before the present. Its leader, Mikagami Nagisa, was in her third year at the time.
The Mikagami Clique was apparently made up of students who were mostly drawn to her oil control ability and sought her to fulfill their own desires (such as manipulating fat in their body to enhance their bust or slim them down), with Mikagami only doing this for those who contributed the most to her clique. Out of the three, this clique was said to be working the hardest to get results.
Known members included Urui Aika, Kazan'in Tsukasa, Kadosaka Rina, Asakura Olivia Moa, and Sukezawa Sena.
Hasekura Clique	Hasekura Reiri 	Third of the 'big three' cliques one year before the present. The oldest of the three but overtaken by the other two (supposedly without intending to), its leader Hasekura Reiri was in her third year.
It was described by one of its members as a carnivorous clique, with members willing to throw others under the bus to succeed.
Known members included Kessai Kiyoshi, Misaka Mikoto's former roommate, Enjou Kasumi, Yasutoba Suika, Amano Ayane, Asato Kisa and Mibuki Kazan (the latter two later joining Shokuhou Misaki's clique). At least one member was in the art club and capable of repairing a statue.
==Background==
The exact time of Tokiwadai's founding is unknown, but the school has been around long enough for there to have been twelve holders of the Majesty title, which requires one to have the largest clique for over a year and until their graduation.
Four years prior to the main story and three years before the admission of the Level 5s, the leader of the school's largest clique and the top Majesty candidate (with her adopted family desiring its alleged promise of a place on the Board of Directors), Takebayashi Yayoi, attacked Tanrei Chemicals after obtaining information that abducted members of her clique were being held captive there, resulting in her arrest and two deaths, with abductees eventually being rescued elsewhere. Tokiwadai's chair covered up the scandal and erased Yayoi's presence from the school's record, with the girl supposedly committing suicide in prison and her family being bankrupted.
