Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted

The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted is a private boarding school located in Mystic Falls, Virginia. It was established by Alaric Saltzman and Caroline Forbes in 2019. The school was founded from the old Salvatore Boarding House which was donated to Caroline by Damon Salvatore after Stefan's death. Caroline and Alaric chose to open the school for untrained witches, werewolves, vampires and any person who had been adversely hit by the supernatural. They have run the school with help from Dorian Williams, who had lost his parents to vampires, Emma Tig, a British witch and guidance counselor and Jeremy Gilbert, who briefly returned to Mystic Falls. Sometime after its opening, the school received a generous donation of three million dollars from Klaus Mikaelson.

The two repurpose the boarding house as a school in which they will cater for supernatural beings. The school receives a generous donation from Niklaus Mikaelson. As the school is set up, numerous former friends of Alaric and Caroline who have found peace watch over them.

He asked for her daughters to siphon the magic out of Hope and put into him. Caroline agrees to talk to the twins and they bargain with her to update the school dress code as part of the deal to help Hope. Caroline agrees to this as she agrees it's bit outdated.
==Throughout Legacies Series==
===Season One===
===Season Two===
In I'll Never Give Up Hope, it is revealed that Alaric has been relieved of his position as Headmaster of the school by the Honor Council. Rafael and Landon have moved into a new room which is later revealed to be Stefan Salvatore's old room as their old one is being painted.
In This Year Will Be Different, Professor Vardemus is welcomed into his position as Headmaster of the school. He replaces Alaric and has been picked by Caroline herself. Vardemus tells the students that their abilities have been suppressed for too long and they should not live under the threat of humans, but should be superior. At the end of his first day as Headmaster, he reveals that he is expanding the curriculum, including a new offensive class for powerful students. He invites Josie to be the first member of this class, believing her to have much potential as a witch.
In You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know, the Salvatore School hosts the annual football game between Mystic Falls High School. Vardemus tells the students that this year they are to win the game and should not be afraid to use their magic to do so, with Landon being picked as quarterback. The school uses its magic to get an upper hand at first, however Kaleb points out that Alaric was right all along and they should not use their abilities to win the game; with this they all agree to play fair. Seeing that the students have stopped using magic, Vardemus questions Josie, who reveals that they don't want to use magic. Vardemus insists that they do and hands Josie a spell which she later uses to snap Ethan's arm — a decision that costs him his football scholarship. Alaric, furious at this, punches Vardemus after he bans him from the Salvatore Estate.
In This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent, the Salvatore School comes under attack by the Krampus, but they are eventually saved by Santa Claus. At the end of the day, Josie reveals that the present Alaric thinks is for her, is actually the perfect present for him. He opens the present, and it reveals a plaque with his name on it, and the title "Headmaster", officially welcoming him back into his post as headmaster of the school.
===Season Three===
In Hold on Tight, the school collectively confronts the Necromancer and his raised monsters at Mystic Falls High School. They ultimately win with Lizzie, Josie, and Alyssa banishing the Necromancer and Malivore to the 2029 Prison World.
In To Whom It May Concern, many of the students are pulled from the school by their parents after the whole school was enlisted in a battle royale against the Necromancer. They felt that it was no longer safe and transferred to other schools. The school faced closure with dwindling number of students, jeopardizing the school's status as an institution.
In Yup, It's a Leprechaun, All Right, though they recruited enough students to retain their right to be a school, their financial situation was further compromised with a hefty property tax lien with the bank threatening to take the school. With combined efforts and the appearance of a leprechaun at fundraiser day, they successfully raised enough funds to save the school.
===Season Four===
In Just Don't Be a Stranger, Okay?,

==Trivia==
*In Woke Up With a Monster, Damon jokingly said that he allowed Alaric to "turn his house into Hogwarts", a school for the supernatural, which is exactly what Alaric and Caroline had done later.
*The school has a parody sport of called "Wickery", although students cannot fly on brooms.
**Lizzie states that Alyssa Chang made a broom fly in physics, but another student, Rick Rogers, fell thirty feet during practice. Real-life "Quidditch" remains an elusive pipe dream.
*The school appears to be much larger than the original Salvatore estate. This suggests that Alaric and Caroline have expanded massively.
*The school features a room dedicated to Stefan Salvatore known as the "Stefan Salvatore Memorial Library". It also memorializes Ethan Machado with a "hall".
*According to Josie, there is magic that runs through the school, which is why she was able to use a spell to stop the other werewolf students from attacking Rafael. The exact origin of the magic is currently unknown.
**This also explains how Lizzie and Josie are able to siphon from the school simply by touching the walls.
**It is heavily implied that this is a boundary/protection spell. In There's Always a Loophole, Triad industries were only able to enter because they had blocked magic in the school.
*The key code for the gate surrounding the school is #0636.
*There are at least six different covens at the school — the Goth Coven, a nature related coven, the Dawn Coven, the Crafty Coven, an unknown coven draped with blue fabric and the Choral Coven.
*Just like the house in The Vampire Diaries, it has been featured in every season of Legacies.
*After Glenridge Hall was demolished in 2015, Legacies production team found Kent Rock Manor as a suitable stand-in once the series was greenlit. Kent Rock Manor, a Tudor mansion, served as the set for the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted. It is located at 5520 Kent Rock Rd in Loganville, Georgia, USA. The 16,750 square foot mansion, built in 2005, features five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, plus guest houses sitting on 50 acres of land.Mansion With Hollywood Bloodline Lists in Georgia The interior was an elaborate set created by production designer Bill EigenbrodtThe CW’s Legacies Set Tour with Kaylee Bryant and Jenny Boyd and loosely modeled after the interior of Glenridge Hall.
