Xavier's School for the Gifted is a school based out of the Xavier family estate in New York state, far enough away from most populated areas to allow freedom and privacy.

Purpose 
Edit
The school is designed to allow young Mutants and metahumans to learn about their powers in a safe, supportive environment, and is based out of Professor Xavier's family mansion near North Salem in Westchester, New York. Its location and nature are very little know to the world at large.
Secretly, beneath the grounds lies the headquarters of the X-Men, a group dedicated to the normalization of human/Mutant relations, protecting humans from metahuman threats, and promoting equal rights for all.
Xavier High Edit
Xavier High School, on the contrary, is a fully public and government funded enterprise. Located in New York City, X-High is open to all students, but it specifically offers training in the control and responsible use of metahuman abilities for the youth of the city and surrounding areas. This is the "Xavier School" attended by most students, the majority of whom live in the city with their parents, rather than at the Xavier Mansion.
HistoryEdit
Xavier's school first opened in the early 1990's with a small group of very special students. Charles found each of them, gave them a place to belong, and encouraged them. They learned to use and control their powers, even as he had done in the past. He passed his fiftieth birthday half wondering where the years had gone, and half looking with pride on his masterwork. That first group of students had by now come to call themselves the X-Men, and had fought in secret many times both to protect mutants, and to protect humans from mutants. In many ways, the first part of his dream had been fulfilled. Change, however, remained ever afoot.
Recent years have brought many changes, particularly as Mutants have begun to move into the public eye. Another event, though, has cast things in a new light. After the public trial of Superman and Congress's decision to repeal the "Metahuman Relocation Act," it opened up a whole new door of possibilities. With new challenges come new opportunities, and for all the uncertainty the future may hold, it also promises hope.
