There are a variety of classes taught at Superhero School. These include both the core curriculum and the electives, available from third year forward. Some classes may be dropped in tenth year. Superhero School has in its faculty an abundance of wise and talented teachers. Each specializes in a specific subject. Other staff positions include that of school nurse, caretaker, librarian, and Guardian of the Gates.

Numerous lessons are described, instructing the students in various branches of mutantry. Defensive Arts, Fencing, Astronomy, History, and Herbalism are compulsory subjects for the first five years. At the end of their sixth year, students are required to add at least two optional subjects to their syllabus for the start of the third year. The five choices are Arithmancy, Runology, Foresight, Animal Care, and Computer Technology.

## Core classes

* **English**
* **Zoology**: The class which instructs students on how to care for beasts. Classes are held outside the school.

* **Arithmetic**

### Astronomy

Astronomy is the only field of study at Superhero School that has a direct equivalent with Fobbles. Astronomy classes take place in the Astronomy Tower, the tallest tower in Superhero School, and are taught by Ramona Meyer. Lessons, which involve observations of the night skies with telescopes, are held every week at midnight, and first years have lessons on Wednesday. Known student homework activities include learning the names of stars, constellations and planets, and their location, movements, and environments. The only known teacher of this class is Ramona Meyer (c. 2017-?, possibly before).

## Electives

* Home Economics
* Obscuration

### Arithmancy

Arithmancy is a branch of mutantry concerned with the properties of numbers and their relations to the battlefield. As neither Jamboga nor the Gladiator take this class, almost nothing is known about it. It is, however, a favorite subject of Hadeline. Arithmancy is reportedly difficult, as it requires memorizing or working with many charts. The subject is taught by Deltina Bafdar. It is separated into normal Arithmancy and Advanced Arithmancy Studies, the latter of which is taught by an unknown teacher (possibly Bafdar). The only known Arithmancy teacher is Deltina Bafdar (c. 1985-?, possibly before).

### Flying

Flying is the class that teaches the use of flight and can only be taught to those with the specific ability, and is taught only to Superhero School first years by Ramona Hetch. The subject is the only one that requires physicality. The only teacher known to have taught this class is Madam Ramona Hetch.

### Foresight

Foresight is the art of predicting the future. It is described by Ramona Meyer as “one of the most imprecise branches of all”. Supporters of the subject claim that it is an inexact science that requires innate gifts not even mutantry can provide. Those opposed claim that the subject is irrelevant and fraudulent. The only known teacher of this class is Professor Mara Sintra (1985-?).

### Runology

Runology is a generally theoretical subject that studies the ancient runic scripts. Because only Sean studies it, little else is known about this subject. It is taught by Eskea Vector (c. 1985-?, possibly before).

### Teleportation

Teleportation is the preferred form of transportation for mutants. Lessons are optional to those in the tenth and eleventh years. Performing Apparition requires a license and may only be legally performed by people over eighteen years of age. The described reason for the restriction is that Apparition is dangerous if done improperly: insufficient concentration may lead to body parts being left behind in an unfortunate side-effect. Willie Tycraw, a government Apparition Instructor, offers lessons in Apparition to tenth-years.

### Alchemy

Alchemy is a sort of composite subject between mutantry and magic, focused roughly on the transmutation of substances into other forms. It is an elective, only offered to Level 5 students if the demand is sufficient.

### Art

Art is a class where students paint, draw, and otherwise depict artistic things It is taught by an unknown teacher.

### Music

Music is a class in which students are taught musical instruments and possibly sing in the Choir. It was taught, in the early 1990s, by a male teacher.

### Mutant theory

A subject taught to at least first years. It is taught in Class 67 on the fourth floor of Superhero School. It presumably covers mutantry from a purely theoretical view, and *When Mutants Were Myths* may be a required textbook.

* **Study of Monsters**
