[Introduction]

Hello! Welcome to Firespark Academy, where elite child prodigies can enjoy a quiet, sophisticated environment in which they can thrive. Here you will live and work with other students who have similar passions as you as well as meet others who can teach you about the subjects they excel at. At Firespark, everyone can be their own person and feel comfortable in their own skin. We hope you will join us and can't wait to see you!

[Basics]

Firespark Academy is a place where creativity and artistic perspectives are welcome and encouraged. That being said, we do not use the traditional American titles for students (A.K.A Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior). The titles we use are Novice (Freshman), Apprentice (Sophomore), Heir (Junior) and Sensei (Senior). Teachers are addressed with the title of Inquisitor (ex: Inquisitor Quinn). Inquisitors are not placed in the Academy to teach, so to speak. Yes they are their to give you the materials you need to learn, but their main purpose is to invoke discussion and group learning amongst their students. Basically, students will aid each other in learning while Inquisitors help guide them along the way.

There are separate dorms for each type of prodigy. The prodigies that Firespark accepts are as follows:
- Writing Prodigies (Future novelists, authors, playwrights, poets, etc.)
- Sports Prodigies (Individuals that excel in sports such as football, tennis, swimming, etc.)
- Science Prodigies (Students seeking a career field in medicine, health care, genetics, robotics, brain sciences, body sciences, etc.)
- Art Prodigies (Sculptors, painters, caricature artists, etc.)
- Music Prodigies (Singers, pianists, guitarists, composers, etc.)
- Political Prodigies (Students who are looking to become governors, state representatives, or even the president)
- Agricultural Prodigies (Those who feel best suited for hard labor on farms and ranches)
- Fauna Prodigies (Students who wish to be involved with plants in their future)
- Technological Prodigies (Students who are interested in things like video game development, video game design, computer programming, software development, etc.)
- Mathematical Prodigies (For those desiring to be Mathematicians, Math teachers, etc.)
- Acting Prodigies (Future actors/actresses, talent agents, directors, etc.)
Dorms will be assigned according to prodigy.

The school day will consist of eight class period, one of which will be for lunch. Classes will be an hour in length (OOC: One hour roleplay time will be ten minutes actual time)

School will begin promptly at 8 A.M and end at 3 PM (OOC: School opening and school closing will be posted in the OOC thread)
