Nevermore Academy

**Nevermore Academy**, formerly known as **Nevermore High**, is the primary setting of the Wonderverse, in peculiar, Nevermore.

## Description

**Nevermore Academy** is a school in the city of New Salem with a monster-only staff and student body, founded sometime in the 12th century. The school's current principal is Headmistress Gravestone. Unlike real high schools (which it was formerly known as), the students of this school can greatly exceed the typical graduation age of 18, not counting ageless beings such as vampires and liches. Students attend Nevermore Academy for at least six years, starting at 15-years old at the latest. However, it is unclear (though unlikely, given the wide age-range) if students of all different ages are separated into different grade-levels for every year. The school holds a large amount of classes that teach various subjects, both typical and monster-specific. Students who have poor enough grades are given options between extracurricular classes or taking remedial classes in summer school. It also hosts a number of clubs for various topics that students may join at their leisure. The school hosts many sports teams, including casketball, water polo, and gravesball. Monster Academy's school colors are purple, black, green.

### Layout

* The campus area was coffin-shaped, and housed the main building, the outdoor sport fields, and overlapped with a forest and a swamp. The building contained two floors, with most of the classrooms located on the second floor so to make room for the indoor sport fields on the first floor. The entrance hall reached up into a belfry, where some students went if they needed time alone, and where a number of bats lived.

* Below the school were the catacombs, most of which was unused and unfamiliar terrain. Monster High had claimed the portion of the catacombs that ran directly under the campus, and used it to house facilities the school has no place for on its own terrain. There was an underground train station and a small passage that allowed zombies easy travel between their part of town and Monster High. Otherwise, three rooms were claimed by two students. Operetta has a soundproof recording studio in the catacombs, as well as her very own opera house. Meanwhile, C.A. Cupid had set up a radio station in the catacombs, from which she hosts her own show. Monster High's radio station can be found on frequency WZMH 13.13 FM. Frankie Stein's father had also set up a lab down there at one point during his high school years.

* Unclaimed nearby portions of the catacombs were used for Creature Spotting, an activity promoted and hosted by Mr. Hackington.
