''Weird at my school''|'''[[The Pixies]]''', [[Title-Only Chorus|"Weird at My School"]]}}
[[Exactly What It Says
The school is, simply put, a [[Weirdness Magnet]], perfect for the budding [[Kid Hero|kid adventurer]] or hero in disguise as a teacher.
Line 15:
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Blue Exorcist
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'': At Mahora Academy, you need rock climbing gear to traverse the library, the [[School Festival]] involves [[Humongous Mecha]] and zeppelins, the majority of the staff (from what we've seen) are secretly wizards, the center of campus is the [[World Tree]], 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 [[Fiction 500|the heir of a richer-than-an-entire-country family]], being able to do way more with a gymnastics ribbon than one should, etc.
* All three schools in Winx Club: Prof. Avalon at Alfea turned out to be an imposter cloud spirit designed to kidnap Bloom; Cloudtower turned out to be housing three delinquent teenage witches who never seemed to go to class (and the school was the usual occupying hideout for the seasons evil villain); Redfountain is a school for young heroes and the headmaster is a wizard, but none of the boys have magic.
* ''[[Rosario to Vampire]]''. This is the natural consequence of creating a school to teach monsters with poor self control how to maintain the [[Masquerade]]. Especially when you trick a [[Muggle|human]] into going there.
* ''[[
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'': Duel Academy. Doesn't help that it's on an island, and thus almost the only setting where any dueling takes place...
* ''[[Gakuen Alice]]''. An "Alice" is someone with a strange or paranormal talent. 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 at the age of 20. The campus is immense and includes forests and a town. All teachers and administration are Alices, and other staff/residents include robots or mutant animals created by Alices. The buildings inlude three heavily guarded and mysterious school buildings and residence buildings for students and three buildings belonging the three enigmatic headmasters, all of which are guarded with supernatural means. Most of the adventures in the story are set in and somehow related to the buildings and their peculiarities.
* Two of the ''Eldoran'' series anime, ''Zettai Muteki Raijin-oh'' and ''Nekketsu Saikyo Gosaurer'' have this. The latter turns into a group of Giant Robots and the former has them housed under them with both having fifth grade students pilot them.
* Raira Academy in ''[[
{{quote| '''Teacher:''' But really...compared to the times when we had to teach Izaya-kun and Shizuo-kun, this school is way more peaceful nowadays. Back then we used to have filled gasoline drums rolling down the third floor of the school building...}}
* Every high school in ''[[Ikki Tousen]]'' qualifies. One wonders how these institutions still attract students, considering all the mayhem that goes on there.
Line 29:
* ''[[Hidan no Aria]]'' has Butei High, where the students are trained to be armed detectives. Naturally, this occurs.
* The Death Weapon Meister Academy in ''[[Soul Eater]]''.
* A standard setting for most ''[[
** Fuuka Academy in the original. In [[Mai-HiME
** Garderobe Academy in ''[[
** Hoshinomiya Fuuka Academy in ''[[
Line 38:
* The Lovecraft Academy from ''[[Locke and Key|Locke & Key]]''. The main cast attend the school, and before them, so did their Dad. Needless to say, the main 'big' mystery of the series revolves around what happened to their father and his friends during their school days.
* [[Spider
** In particular, his college Empire State University, is a huge [[Adventure School]] that has since extended far beyond involving just Peter Parker. Just look at the [[wikipedia:Empire State University#Staff.2C students.2C and faculty|notable faculty/students list]], which involves [[X
* [[X
* In ''[[Static Shock]]'', it's justified in that the [[Super Serum|chemical explosion]] that caused the "Bang Babies" happened at a popular local gang hangout near Virgil's school.
* This is the ''setting'' for ''[[
* Advanced Public School #001 (APS-001) in the ''[[Gold Digger (Comic Book)|Gold Digger]]'' universe. In the "Tifanny & Charlotte" series, the title characters attend the school.

* The titular academy in the [[HIVE Series]] is a school for supervillains. In the first book the school is attacked by a giant plant - a science experiment [[Gone Horribly Wrong]].
* [[The Gallagher Girls|Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women]] is a school for training teenage girls to be spies.
* [[The Seven Realms Series
== Live Action TV ==
Line 65:
* [[Smallville]] High was one of these, with plenty of students and teachers turning into insane monsters and/or dying horribly. Plus [[Superman]] was also a student there...
* [[Unnatural History|Smithson High]] is one especially since the "DOUM Room" has many undocumented artifacts of the <s> Smithsonian</s> [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|National Museum Complex]].
* The Academy that River attended on ''[[
* Amanogawa High School is an [[Elaborate University High]] that features a secret [[Cool Base]] on the moon, a [[Humongous Mecha]], and of course the belt that allows you to transform into ''[[
** Or not. {{spoiler|Turns out the good guys and bad guys alike have interest in the place because it's right on top of a source of cosmic energy. Foundation X from ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'' is at least in part behind it all}}.
Line 76:
== Video Games ==
* While it's a summer camp and not a school, ''[[
* PSP JRPG [[Class of Heroes]].
* Maritsu Evil Academy from ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'', of course.
** Notable for the fact that the school's campus is so gigantic that it encompasses most of the world (And presumably will ''be'' the entire world eventually, due to its constant expansion). As such, traversing things like icy wastelands and lava-filled ruins to get to a class isn't out of the ordinary, making the "adventure" part of the trope's name quite literal in this case.
* Territoire for Windows by [[Easy Game Station]]. Main character Facil becomes [[Student Council President]] and fights battles along with her "students" in this TRPG.
* ''[[
* ''[[Escape From St.
== Web Comics ==
* Both high schools in Moperville from ''[[
** Mostly because the whole town does. There's a snide mention that Moperville's newspaper is regarded with the same respect as a tabloid everywhere outside of the town.
** South fits the description more than north. [http://egscomics.com/?date=2005-04-19 Physics teachers react to levitation with nothing more than a sigh].

Line 99:
* [[The Fairly Odd Parents|Timmy Turner]]'s Dimmsdale Elementary not only always has the effects of Timmy's wishes to deal with, but the mad fairy obsessed Mr. Crocker to make things crazy as well.
* ''[[Codename
** Not to mention the secret temple that leads to the Fountain of Youth, kindergarteners that are practically wild animals, Wild West situations... the list goes on and on.
* Hamilton Hill High School is this in ''[[
* Casper High in ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' qualifies. It's a wonder the teachers could get any teaching done with ghosts constantly fighting in it.
* While nothing ''too'' out-of-the-ordinary happens, [[Recess|Third Street School]] usually has something crazy going on every episode.
