This is a school that teaches their students how to be better villains. There will be courses on mayhem, [[Blackmail Is Such an Ugly Word|extortion]], use of [[Bad Powers, Bad People|powers]] for [[Good Powers, Bad People|evil]], money laundering and many other topics. Usually the school will be a strictly evil institution that is staffed entirely with [[Sadist Teacher~~|Sadist Teachers~~]] and directed by the Principal / [[Big Bad]]. Despite this rigid order much of the rules have two big caveats: [[Might Makes Right]], and the teachers won't punish ~~cheating-- rather~~, they'll punish ''[[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty|getting caught]]'' because it's a sign of sloppy work.

Despite this rigid order much of the rules have two big caveats: [[Might Makes Right]], and the teachers won't punish cheating—rather, they'll punish ''[[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty|getting caught]]'' because it's a sign of sloppy work.

Presumably, such a school is funded by graduates tithing back money to the principal, though he or she may get funding from parents who enroll their children because they [[In the Blood|want their kids]] to [[Legacy Character|follow their evil jackboot-steps.]]

* The Praetorian Academy in ''[[PS238]]''.

* Xavier's School for Exceptionally Wayward Youth in ''X-Men Noir'' is a reform school... but Professor Xavier taught his students how to be better criminals rather than actually reforming them. He insists this was a ploy to gain their trust so they would gradually open up to him and therapy could begin in earnest. In reality, he was developing and studying them to prove his theory that sociopathy is the next stage of human behavioral evolution.

* In mainstream ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' continuity, Emma Frost used to be headmistress of the Massachusetts ~~Academy -- a~~ front for the Hellfire Club that produced the Hellions, rivals to the then-Xavier Institute student body, the ''[[New Mutants]]''. When Emma had her [[Heel Face Turn]], the Massachusetts Academy became a [[Super-Hero School]], the front for ''[[Generation X]]''.
