Gold Academy
Modeled as a premier and innovative institution, Gold Academy boasts its reputation as the worldwide #3 institution for hero instruction. As well as the #1 rated hero school in the United States. Unlike other hero schools that typically provide hero instruction to high school students, Gold Academy's focus is collegiate level hero instruction. If accepted into its program, Gold Academy students are given the opportunity to pursue either a Hero or Law Enforcement curriculum. While Gold Academy offers general education courses, they do not offer a full selection of general education degrees.
Gold Academy prepares its students to take hero qualification exams during and at the conclusion of their studies. It emphasizes the practical application of hero instruction and skills through partnerships and internships with pro heroes. Most students required to balance their time between both pro hero work and classroom study.
Hero/Support Program
Students who select a hero or support track can expect to balance their time in a dynamic fashion. Both programs require in-class participation as well as an on-site internship with a professional hero during the entirety of their academic career. Though requirements between the programs differ as far as contribution to on-site internship time, the requirements are the same. Time contributions during attendance at Gold Academy are designed to shift and increase with each subsequent year. However, all students enrolled in the Hero/Support Program must also 'qualify' for graduation after the successful completion of four years at Gold Academy. Qualification is typically granted via their professional hero guardian. And is left solely in their guardian's discretion as far as the requirements for each individual student.Hero Program

Law Enforcement Program
If students do not wish to pursue a Hero based curriculum then they do have the option to pursue a Law Enforcement based curriculum. While G.A. is known primarily for its Hero Education courses, it does offer a well balanced and structured Law Enforcement program. While traditionally, the Law Enforcement Program has been selected by those who do not possess quirks, or lack powerful or useful quirks. It has in recent years seen a surge in attendance from both natural humans and meta humans students.Cooper Library
Cooper Library has a collection of more than 1 million volumes and an ever-increasing number of electronic materials accessible by the Internet to students and faculty. The library's collection is distinguished by materials related to Law Enforcement history and policy, quirk research, and development. Cooper Library is also a selective federal depository for government information.
