Psionic Academy

Psionic Academies are relatively rare institutions, L'Institutul per la Ricerca Psionica is by far the largest, though some states do run their own psionic academies, largely for the training of young people to become Psionic commandos. Other, underground academies exist, but function more like psionic cults than educational institution. A Psionic education entails secrecy, as even legal academies are subject to discriminatory criminal activity.
