## Background

The Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning is a special institute founded & led by Professor Charles Xavier to train young mutants in controlling their powers and help foster a friendly human-mutant relationship.

After graduating, Xavier decided to devote his life to protecting humanity from evil mutants & safeguarding innocent mutants from human oppression, believing that both could peacefully coexist. He worked with expert geneticist & his future wife, Dr. Moira MacTaggert & they began discussing the idea of founding a school for mutants. He equipped the school with the mansion with the most advanced technology he could find.

His first student was Jean Grey, who had been traumatized when she telepathically experienced the emotions of a dying friend. Over the following months, Xavier recruited other students including Scott Summers, Bobby Drake, Warren Worthington III & Hank McCoy. Together the formed the original X-Men.

As the years have gone on, more mutants moved in & out of the mansion as the X-Men family grew. Throughout the years, the mansion has been expanded with a Danger Room with hard-light holographic technology, constructing a hangar for a new Blackbird jet & update for Cerebro's software.

The Xavier Institute operates as both a school for educational purposes & to serve their mutant powers. Students who are under the age of eighteen must enroll at Xavier Institute & take classes towards their high school degree. Students who have graduated from high school (either at Xavier Institute or elsewhere) taking classes at Xavier Institute on a purely mutant training basis or can enroll at Empire State University on dual enrollment basis.

Today, the institute operates as a safe place for mutants & an educational place for them to learn academics & to control their mutant powers. Until recently the general public lived under the pretense that there were merely students at Professor Xavier's exclusive academy & the students kept their mutant nature a secret from the outside world. Events later lifted the veil of secrecy & the mutant nature of the Xavier Institute became public knowledge in the summer of 2005. Where once there were only a handful of mutants living & studying at the school, there are now almost 100 students enrolled after the school went public. To house the new students, an X-shaped dormitory was built behind the mansion.

In 2008, the student body of the Institute was also divided into seven training squads & assigned mentors. Squads are chosen by mentors that usually align with the students' powers or by former student advisors. Though sometimes, students will go if there is a major gap in the number of trainees between squads. Squads are chosen prior to them starting high school or when they first enroll if they are past that age.
