The school, actually a refurbished mansion, has three huge floors where classes are held. Below them, are the dining hall, kitchens, entrance hall, and laundry room. The only things on the fifth floor are the teacher's and student lounges and three doorways. Through each of the doorways there is a passage that leads to a tower. Each tower houses the boys, girls, or teachers, each with their own common room.
There are multiple classrooms on each of the three floors, however only some are actively in use at any given time. The first of these floors is designated as the history floor. All the classes taugh here have to do with history or other cultures. According to the Headmistress, the first step in the process of becoming an evil genius is to study past villains and their mistakes. The next step is learning about the area of which you are trying to gain control; a henchman must be able to blend with the populace in order to commit vile acts and the ilk.
The second floor is dedicated to languages and critical thinking. Languages are important because it helps with blending in with the unsuspecting civilians. Critical thinking, while not necessarily looked favorable upon by villains of the past, is necessary to become successful or to help others on the path to success. Customarily, minions were supposed to be blindly loyal without any thinking abilities. However, this led to people too afraid to speak up even if it would mean the failure of the attack. Critical thinking will turn out smarter henchmen.
The final class floor is the science floor. This is where Assistant Headmistress Kalina Connor teaches about poisons. She teaches classes on how to grow the plants, how to recognize them, how to properly cut off the portions needed, and how to mix the poisons. It is never a good idea to rely on others to mix poisons for you.
Of course, that is just the school itself. Outside, there is a fighting salle (where Headmistress Cera Dragoneska teaches fighting of all styles), a lake (where swimming is taught), and practice fields (to practice a number of things), and a greenhouse (where Assistant Headmistress Kalina Conner teaches the advanced students).
Currently, you are on the History Floor. There are many winding hallways with multiple doors in them that lead to identical classrooms. Each class has ten tables that seat two people. No class will ever have more than twenty students at a time, so don't worry about not having enough space. At the front of the room, there is a giant chalkboard that takes up the entire wall. Directly in front of that, there is a large desk for the teacher. It is neatly organized, awaiting class to begin.
