My kids are taking a final and I need a break from grading so takataka this up for those who want more info.
At age 23, Peyton Whitney is no longer a trust-fund baby and has access to all of her pretty hefty inheritance (some of that is in offshore accounts so even if her accounts are frozen, she has some money). With this, she opens a private school in Toronto in fall of 2012 for evolved children ages 12 to 18, after carefully cultivating an advisory board of parents and educators. Obviously the plans would probably be under a lot of scrutiny by local officials and Peyton would do everything to ensure that she's not building a tiny army at the school. it would be pitched as a way of improving all children's safety — giving the SLC-E children a "place of their own" away from the non-Evolved, etc.
Some facts:
- The students can commute or board.
- Tuition is on a sliding scale. Some students are on full scholarships.
- The children are taught all regular subjects in addition to small group classes meant to help them with their abilities — mostly in self-control, ethical use, defense, etc.
- Non-Evolved children can attend the school as well (this helps offset the costs for the scholarship students).
- Eventually, "WCAG" also becomes a destination for child refugees being ferried out of the United States by the Lighthouse and any other allies.
- The school begins very small — in the first year, about 75 students, almost more of a "homeschool coop," but by timeskip time, it has grown to about 300, with approximately 100 living on site.
If you'd like your PCs (or NPCs) to have worked or attended school there, prior to timeskip, shoot me an @mail or page me if you see me un-idle. I have Hollis down as involved already and of course Peyton is there, but will be finding her way back to NYC in 2018.
