Often inverted by introducing a [[AcademyOfEvil super]]''[[AcademyOfEvil villain]]'' [[AcademyOfEvil school]]. You will also see instances where the school takes a neutral posture about heroism or villainy, focusing on teaching the students to control and make the most of their superpowers - with the result that aspiring heroes end up in classes next to wannabee villains, possibly among a larger group of kids who [[IJustWantToBeNormal just want to get on with their lives]].

moved Whateley Academy entry from Web Original to Literature
* The WebOriginal fiction series [[Literature/WhateleyUniverse Whateley Academy]] is built around this trope. In this [[TheVerse universe]], [[PubertySuperpower mutant traits manifest around fourteen years of age]] (often even if [[CompulsorySchoolAge starting out older]]), so mutants from all over the world go to high school at [[ShoutOut Whateley]] Academy in [[Literature/TheDunwichHorror Dunwich]], New Hampshire. There is a danger room equivalent or two, martial arts, magic arts, and psychic arts classes, and curricula ranging from normal high school stuff all the way to 'workshop' courses that teach young mad scientists how to make power armor and killer robots. Elective / specialist classes include Costume Shop, Intro to Flight, Psychic Ethics...
** However, school administration insists that under the Whateley Charter they are an AcademyOfAdventure instead of a Superhero School. Whateley is ''strictly neutral'', accepts any and all mutants, good, evil or neutral; powerful, weak, or [[CosmicHorror Class X]], and is protected and funded by several groups of heroes, villains, and "superneutrals" to provide a safe location for superpowered children to grow up. The headmistress (a retired heroine of some renown) has had to remind several groups (especially the protagonists) of this fact repeatedly. This treaty [[TruceZone also forbids any faction to attack any other faction on the Whateley campus]] on pain of all Charter signatories going EnemyMine on the perpetrator. Parent-teacher conference day must be quite an experience for all concerned...
*** Later developments reveal that many of Whateley's faculty are former villains and heroes who wanted to retire from "the Biz" and there's an unofficial agreement that the headmaster and assistant headmaster come from opposite sides to ensure balance: If the headmaster is a hero, then the assistant must be a villain, and vice-versa. Faculty and Staff conferences must be even more interesting than parent-teacher conferences.

** For the first 7 issues it functioned as a school where the original five X-Men learned how to master the powers, afterwards the Xavier Academy jumped around a bit between being a Superhero School, and a superhero base which happened to be disguised as a school, largely because until Comicbook/KittyPryde joined the Creator/ChrisClaremont "all-new all-different" X-Men's ages ranged from the 20s onwards, with none of them even of college age. In the ''ComicBook/NewMutants'', Xavier's school functions as both a superhero school, and a base, with even some of the X-Men helping to train the New Mutants. The [[Film/XMenFilmSeries films]] cemented the concept in people's minds by depicting the X-Men as teachers of a large non-superhero student body, and the {{Comic Book}}s [[RetCanon followed suit]]. Xavier's school now has a lot of non-superhero mutants of all ages, learning to control their powers as well as reading, writing, and 'rithmetic. A few of them 'graduate' to X-Men status. There's also a relatively new X-comic focusing on the students (of course, trouble seems to find ''them'') that's pretty much a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Generation X'' and ''ComicBook/NewMutants''. Its title changes a lot, though.
