Details
Bayville Charter High, Salem Center, is a charter high school of a particularly high reputation of academic excellence. Due to the reduced numbers of students and the need for young mutants to learn to cope in the 'normal' world, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters now acts as a boarding residence for students, who now attend Bayville Charter.
Bayville Charter attempts to be inclusive, and with increasing fear of mutants following the M-Day event and the accompanying insurance issues, it did not openly accept mutants. Xavier's students, in order to maintain the mansion as a sanctuary, were encouraged to hide their powers where possible, and use image inducers outside of the mansion's grounds. It was not a satisfactory arrangement, but one that was necessary at the time. However, in the years since M-Day, the change in government and a slight societal shift away from outright fear and hatred, Bayville has begun to accept openly mutant students. For the Xavier's kids, they have the option to "out" themselves or not, depending on how safe they feel.
The school caters from 9th Grade to 12th Grade (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) and usually has been 300-350 students attending. College preparation classes (CRP) are available, as well as a Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP) and double credit classes (college level credits at the same time as high school).
