* [[http://iofm.comicgenesis.com/ The Institute Of Metaphysics]]

* [[UnnaturalHistory Smithson High]] is one especially since the "dune room" has many undocumented artifacts of the [[strike: Smithsonian]] [[LawyerFriendlyCameo National Museum Complex]].

Generally, this tends to happen to any school the [[DoomMagnet hero]] is enrolled in or teaching in, so it can be anything from a grade school to a college. See also CityOfAdventure and {{Xanadu}}. Just like there, contrast NothingExcitingEverHappensHere. If the school explains its weirdness factor by having super powered students, monster students or magical classes, then it's either an ExtranormalInstitute, an AllGhoulsSchool or a WizardingSchool, respectively.

** [[{{Understatement}} Arguably?]]

* ''GakuenAlice''. An "Alice" is someone with a strange or paranormal talent. This includes the classics (telepathy, telekinesis) plus the unusual (the ability to control someone if you can touch their shadow, or the ability to invent) to the horrifically scary (full control of fire, control of evil spirts... perhaps the pheremone Alices could be catagorized as this, considering what they can make people (or animals) do.). Any kid who is identified as having an Alice is legally required to go to the Alice Academy, and cannot leave the campus until graduating from high school. The campus is immense and includes forests and even a town. All the teachers are Alices, and while a few Alices do leave once old enough, most stay and live in that town. There are also some strange beings there, such as Mr. Bear, a stuffed teddy bear which seems to be alive and who is hostile and violent, or a building-sized canary.

ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: a [[SchoolTropes school]] where adventure is abound, weirdness is everywhere, and anything that could happen, will happen. Teachers turning out to be villains, strange beings stalking the school grounds, random (or maybe [[FriendlyTarget not so random]]) students getting kidnapped while the UnlikelyHero has to chase after them... Never a dull day, no matter how boring the classes are.

* Both the [[SuperheroSchool Venture Institute]] and the [[SuperheroSchool Hyperion Academy]] in the ''GlobalGuardiabsPBEMUniverse''.

* As is [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] of the WhateleyUniverse. When the vast majority of the planet's teenaged mutants go to high school there, you know stuff will happen.

* This is the ''setting'' for PS238, which is about an AdventureSchool filled with superpowered children. Despite their best efforts, they don't do that great a job of keeping the super powered danger away.

* Mopervile North (and possibly south) from ElGoonishShive fits this description.
** Mostly because the whole town does. There's a snide mention that Mopervile's newspaper is regarded with the same respect as a tabloid everywhere outside of the town.

* The comic [[http://www.rdinn.com/mads.php M.A. in Dragon Slaying]] is a tabletop adventure/comedy comic that features an adventurer's collegiate life.

* CodenameKidsNextDoor features a school where some of the students are in a global organization bent on guaranteeing freedom for children worldwide, teachers who oppose this group, corrupt members of the student council who try to ensure that snow days never occur, playgrounds with hidden paths to ''volcanoes'', etc.

* ''MahouSenseiNegima'': At Mahora Academy, you need rock climbing gear to traverse the library, the SchoolFestival involves HumongousMecha and zeppelins, the majority of the staff (from what we've seen) are secretly wizards, the center of campus is the WorldTree, and if a student there isn't supernatural, paranormal, superscience, or otherwise out of the ordinary, it probably means they have motivational issues.
** Even the {{Muggles}} are bizarre or unusual in mundane ways- like being [[{{Fiction500}} the heir of a richer-than-an-entire-country family]], being able to do way more with a gymnastics ribbon than one should, etc.
** Ayaka (the rich one) is also able to fight slightly-better-than-human Asuna on an even level--at least, until Asuna starts monster hunting in her spare time.
