PMMBS

The Pietro Monti Memorial Boarding School is a CATS-accredited Academy that takes pupils age fourteen to twenty and provides them with a six-year program at the end of which they receive a bachelor's degree on any one of twelve specializations, from Conundrums of Philosophy to Dimensional Engineering. It also contains an accredited Montessori primary school, although boarding for children under 14 is restricted to Ragnarok victims.

Like all Montessori institutions, PMMBS tries to put reincarnates in classroom groups appropriate to their emotional rather than intellectual maturity. Follow the ceiling signs to determine what is acceptable behavior.

Like all CATS-founded academies, PMMBS puts budget surpluses into the Rapture Readiness search-and-rescue fund and offers a Combat Theology minor, despite having no ROTC program and no CT major.

By agreement with the Commonwealth, PMMBS has been grandfathered in with other CATS bases and is still considered extraterritorial. The customs unit at the end of the peninsula covers Commonwealth, Union, Confederation and ZLI consular services. Internships are usually available.

Once a month, flux permitting, grid trips are available to students and faculty who passed their grid entry exam to visit Ground Minus One. Psychological counseling is mandatory after the trip if the Theological Containment facility was visited.

Athletic facilities include a three multipurpose fields (football - handegg - baseball - cricket), eight multipurpose courts (basketball - tennis - jai alai - streetball - curling), four pools (salt water - fresh water - perfluorocarbon - nonnewtonian), two deprivation chamber pods for NC training, and a marathon-length track around the grounds with appropriate equestrian enhancements.

Academic facilities include a physics lab, biology lab, metaphysics lab, machine shop, tannery, automated fabrication facility (manual certification required), rubber spinning pools, and an analog electronics shop graded B for electrician certification for high-chaos areas. Our library is fully warded and receives publications from all eight national conglomerates, four alternate continuums, and a Class 4 metafictional extrapolator.

Teacher-student ratio is guaranteed to be in the single digits.

Internet access is currently limited to nonsentient hosts; IT services are student-provided as much as possible, occasionally including hardware.

Our faculty comes from all walks of life, including prominent secular, religious and thaumaturgical universities; paragovernmental organizations; CATS affiliates; and professional fields from archeology to xenotheology.

Scholarships are available for students over the age of majority (in any reincarnation) who sign up for our infrastucture program, with a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 25 hours a week.
