The Guardian Hero Academy is the leading hero academy in America, and has only recently taken the ranking of second best Hero Academy in the world, usurping Russias top school last year. Guardian Highschool is dedicated to taking in the best and brightest of the new generation, hoping to mold and guide the protectors of the new age. The Academy employs a talented, powerful staff of pro-heroes, and is outfitted with some of the best and most advanced equipment in the world, to match. The Academy offers basic high school courses, though is much more lax than it's Japenese counterparts, pushing heroism as the top priority always. At the beginning of the year, students can expect to find tests that will determine both their physical and quirk abilities.

This year, the Academy announced a new project that will involve the creation of the schools very own, in-campus superhero team, The Guardians, in a play for U.A's spot at the top, hoping that putting together a full team of pro-heroes would get them there. The actual members of the team will be announced at the end of the year, and will be one of the three Prodigy classes, 0-0, 0-1, or 0-2. Guardian Academy took eighteen recommendation students, comprised of prodigious students recommended from the top hero prep programs in the country, or the various scouting agencies that the school employs. Some of the children may even have ties to pro-heroes themselves. As well as the eighteen most brightest and talented children throughout America, students with the highest scores on all the mock tests, the most impressive quirks, and an express interest in being heroes, otherwise the children who showed the most potential. The Academy split these thirty sic children into three groups, each class having six recommendation students and six non-recs. The class which shows the most overall promise will be selected as the members of the Gaurdians.
