The fourth year is an important one for students, as it is the first year that they are permitted to sit elective courses. Fourth year classes consist of Fencing, Herbalism, Defensive Arts, History, Arithmetic, and English. At the end of the year, fourth-year students choose two or more classes they wish to study as electives for their fifth year to ninth year; these subject options include, but are not narrowed to, Runology and Art.

*Main article: Fifth year*
A fifth year is a student at Superhero School who is in their fifth year of education. Fifth years are typically twelve to thirteen years of age. The fifth year is an important one for students, as it is the first year that they are permitted to sit elective courses. Fifth year classes consist of Fencing, Herbalism, Defensive Arts, Fencing, History, Astronomy, and the two or more electives the student chose the previous year.

### Teen years

*Main article: Seventh year*A seventh year is a student at Superhero School who is in their seventh year of education. Seventh years are typically thirteen to fourteen years of age. The year is constantly mentioned to be little more than the second half of the sixth year. In Defensive Arts, they study power-deflection, counterattacks, and the illegal superpowers.
*Main article: Eighth year*
An eighth year is a student at Superhero School who is in their eighth year of education. Eighth years are typically fourteen to fiteen years of age. The eighth year is the year in which students receive career counseling. It is during this meeting that they will be advised as to what M.E.M.E.-level classes they should take in tenth year in order to qualify for their desired career.

*Main article: Ninth year*
A ninth year is a student at Superhero School who is in their ninth year of education. Ninth years are typically fifteen to sixteen years of age. The ninth year is enormously important for students, due to the fact that it is the year in which they must sit their C.A.T. exams, which will determine what M.E.M.E. courses they will be permitted to take later on in their education. C.A.T.s determine what jobs they can apply for in their future careers. The ninth year is also a year in which career advice continues. Ninth year classes consist of English, Herbalism, Defensive Arts, Arithmetic, History, Science, Powers, and two or more electives. In Defensive Arts, they study Deaformas and mind control.

### Tenth year

An tenth year is a student at Superhero School who is in their tenth year of formal education. Tenth years are typically sixteen to seventeen years old, although some may be older if they have to repeat a year. Tenth year students are initially excited to have more free time, but this extra time is intended to help them study and do homework, as many, if not all, teachers assign more homework and give more difficult lessons in their M.E.M.E.-level classes. Tenth years may also elect to take part in Teleportation lessons for a fee of ninety dollars.

The tenth year is the first year in which students sit M.E.M.E.-level classes. Based on their C.A.T. scores, and depending on the minimum requirements of the teacher teaching the subject at that time, students are allowed to sit any number of classes as long as they meet said requirements. If the student doesn’t meet those requirements, they cannot attend the M.E.M.E.-level classes, having to repeat the C.A.T.-level classes and the ninth-year exams. While students do have the opportunity to choose whether they wish to continue in particular subjects, those who begin studying M.E.M.E.-level subjects in their tenth year are expected to carry on with the subject into the eleventh year, and sit the M.E.M.E. exam in that subject.

### Eleventh year

An eleventh year is a student at Superhero School who is in their eleventh and final year of formal mutated education. Eleventh years are typically seventeen to eighteen years of age, although some may be older if they have had to repeat a year. The eleventh year contains the most important exams given at Superhero School — the C.A.T.s. Students conclude their M.E.M.E.-level studies in the eleventh year, at the end of which they sit the M.E.M.E. exam pertaining to each of their subjects. A student in the eleventh year would have the same schedule he or she had in the tenth year, and would sit only those classes in which they received C.A.T.s meeting the minimum requirement of the professor for that subject. However, not all students take C.A.T.s, as some occupations require only C.A.T.s.

Every year, a male and female eleventh year are appointed Head Boy and Head Girl. In most cases the Principal selects the Head students from the eleventh year prefects. However, students that have never been prefects, for example Sean, can still be selected.

The eleventh year contains the most important exams given at Superhero School — the M.E.M.E. exam pertaining to each of the subjects, concluding their M.E.M.E. level studies that they started their tenth year which they continued into the eleventh year.

A student in the eleventh year would have the same schedule he or she had in the tenth year, and would sit only those classes in which they received the C.A.T. grade needed and decided by the schoolteacher for that subject. However, not all students take M.E.M.E.s as many occupations will accept applicants who only received C.A.T.s. It's likely that specialized subjects only offered from the tenth year will be continued at M.E.M.E. level, as Fencing certainly was.

In Defensive Arts, they study Arboc and Deaformas as revision.

There was an annual duel between eleventh year Class A kids and Class B kids every New Year's Eve in the cellar.

## Starting school

First years were typically seven to eight years of age, and begin the year by boarding the Great Bus at exactly 11 a.m. on August 31 from Transportation Tower, from which they travel to Superhero School.

From there, first years arrive at the school with the Guardian of the Gates (or another suitable teacher if the Guardian was absent) in planes separate from the older students.

Just before the Welcoming Feast begins, new students were grouped into one of four classifications (A through F) by the Booth of Orientation. The booth obtained knowledge of each student's mutation and analyzed each student's mind, looking for specific characteristics that it used to decide where to put each student. After the ritual, the Principal would say a few words and the feast would begin.
