United States Academy of Extranormal Studies

First seen in the Legion of Lawndale Heroes episode The Wild and the Young, The United States Academy of Extranormal Studies is the nation's fifth federal academy dedicated to training young men and women for a career in Federal Service or in the Armed Forces of the United States of America. The Academy, located just outside Evansville, Indiana, educates a student body of thirteen hundred students (addressed as 'cadets') in two separate institutions: the First Academy (for cadets aged 12-18 years) and the Elite Academy (for cadets 18-24 years of age).

The 'First Academy' is a six-year program that provides basic and advanced educational needs, as well as a comprehensive program designed to instruct cadets on how to effectively deal with the physical, psychological, social and legal problems and issues that arise with the possession and use of metahuman abilities in the modern world.

Cadets who successfully complete their studies in the 'First Academy' are given the option to attempt the five-year program offered by the 'Elite Academy', which offers advanced training in metahuman abilities with a concentration towards the use of such abilities in military service, law enforcement, specialized search and rescue, diplomatic affairs and many other concentrations - as well as standard collegiate studies - leading to the awarding of a Bachelor's Degree). Cadets are also offered the option of attending one of the four other military academies (those who accept this option are bound to complete the required one-year internship period by attending summer classes at the Academy).
