Caelbury Academy. Known for it's selectivity and it's exceptional students, Caelbury Academy is ranked the number one preparatory high school in the United States. It's extremely difficult to enroll here due to the competition and the extremely high requirements, but the rewards are stunning if you're accepted. It's said that every single person to graduate from Caelbury Academy becomes extremely successful in life, in whatever field they choose. Caelbury Academy offers many classes and extra-curricular activities for the student body to enjoy, as well as very exciting school events.

The students who go to Caelbury Academy are very special in many regards. In order to enroll at this school, you must be one of two things: Extremely wealthy, or extremely gifted. There are many students who are both. The extremely wealthy students are often children of the CEOs of famous companies, famous politician or an athlete. The students who fit under the extremely gifted category might be a world-renown athlete, some sort of prodigy, or a genius. Only the people at the top of the social hierarchy are able to attend the prestigious Caelbury Academy.

Up until now, Caelbury Academy had the philosophy of "Making great students greater, not mediocre students less mediocre." However, as more and more of the underdogs begin to become high-ranking, respected people, the school decided to let in some 'normal' students, people who weren't wealthy or particularly exceptional, offering scholarships to these normal students.

Many families in the school were outraged at this innovation, some even going as far as pulling their children out of this school as a form of protest. Some believe that they should be kept separate from the "commoners", while others think that this is a wonderful opportunity to educate bright young minds who may be considered not as extraordinary. This is the first year that the two different social classes will merge into one school.

Welcome to Caelbury Academy...


You can be either a teacher or a student in this roleplay.

In this school, there are four basic social classes:

The Elite
The Elite group is considered to be at the top of the school. The people in this group are both gifted and wealthy. In a normal high school setting, they may be categorized as 'the popular' people, although they aren't exactly the same. Having the best of both worlds, the Elite are the ones who dominate school politics and are the most well-known.

The Wealthy
The Wealthy are just that, people who come from wealthy families. Just because they're wealthy however, doesn't mean that they're necessarily good students (although this depends on the person). Most people who go to Caelbury Academy are in this category. The stereotype of this social class is this: The people in the Wealthy group are people that hide behind their parent's money, and are spoiled and conceited. Obviously this is just a stereotype, and this isn't true for everyone. however, the Wealthy group are the people that band together the most within their social group.

The Gifted
The Gifted are considered more or less equals to the Wealthy. The Gifted people aren't always wealthy, and many come from middle-class families, but their exceptional talent has allowed them to get a scholarship to this school. On the other hand, the Gifted people tend to have at least some sort of money due to the attention that their extraordinary skill set has gotten them. As a whole, they have an ongoing rivalry going with the Wealthy crowd. The Gifted people are the group that stick together the least, considering that the people in this group may all be gifted, but they are all gifted in different ways. There may be an interest clash here and there.

The Commoners
This is the newest social class in Caelbury Academy. The Commoners are considered the lowest social class. A Commoner is the person allowed into the Academy from the new policy of allowing more people into the school. People here are picked from a lottery drawing, filled with names of all of the applicants who were denied access to the school due to not being gifted or wealthy. This is the smallest social class, and they band together, almost as much as the Wealthy class, because they find comfort and support within each other.

The social classes don't apply as much to teacher characters, but they can.
This roleplay is a slice of life, centering around how the newest social class affects the lives of the students. Due to the extreme difference between the Commoners and the rest of the students, this should create some interesting conflicts and drama! As a student or a teacher, you can explore different relationships with each other.

This roleplay will also include various events such as a mandatory school play, field trips, competitions, etc. You can be a part of any club you want (or not be a part of any), and befriend people, become enemies, and anything else you can think of!

Teachers can choose the subject they teach, as long as it's open.
That's all I can think of for now! Thanks for reading, and please express interest ^^ More information will be introduced in the OOC, if there is an ample amount of people interested.

Ages 14-18. It'll be divided like a normal American High school with four years.

Freshman: first year (14-15)
Sophomore: second year (15-16)
Junior: third year (16-17)
Senior: fourth year (17-18)

But it's entirely possible for a character to be younger/older as a student. For example, a student might have skipped a grade, or did something abroad that pushed back their schooling by a year or two. (Like a peace corp-esque thing or something?)

Definitely interested. Might be nice to get into something...not absurd. I mean, I enjoy magic and fantasy as much as the next guy, but this could be really nice too. It'd be the first real "normal" RP I've done.
