**The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted** was established by Alaric Saltzman, Alex Gilbert, and Caroline Forbes in 2019; this was built in lieu of the Salvatore Boarding House which was donated to Alex by Damon and Theo Salvatore after Stefan's death. Alaric, Alex, and Caroline 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, and Jeremy Gilbert, who briefly returned to Mystic Falls. Sometime after its opening, the school received a generous donation of ten million dollars from Alex and the Original Family.

Following the events of *There's Always a Loophole*, Alaric is relieved of his position as Headmaster by the Honor Council. He is replaced by Professor Vardemus, a witch who seeks to change the curriculum in favor of teaching the supernatural to harness their abilities and step out of the shadows imposed on them by society. After Professor Vardemus is revealed to be a disguise used by Ryan Clarke, Alaric is reinstated in his role as Headmaster in *This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent*.

## Restrictions and Bylaws

* Witch Students are not supposed to use their magic outside of the classrooms, as stated in *Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea*. Furthermore, some magic, such as Dark Magic, is prohibited, as stated in *This is the Part Where You Run*.
* Vampire students are not allowed to feed on other people in the school as mentioned by MG when tempted by Penelope to feed on fresh human blood.
* One of the school's recruitment bylaws for vampires is that they don't admit vampires over the age of seventeen. These bylaws were changed by Ryan Clarke, posing as Headmaster Vardemus. It remains unknown if they were changed again following Alaric's return as Headmaster in *I Couldn't Have Done This Without You*.

## Trivia

* During Alaric's integration of Landon about Rafael's character it's heavily implied that new werewolves can be denied admission if their first kill was deliberate.
* The school has a parody sport of Quidditch 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".
* 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
