A disability, that's what it's called, the contrary of an ability, something that interferes with your regular life and defines you as less capable than other people. It made sure that you were no longer able to attend the school you used to be in, or perhaps you've never really gone to a normal school because of it. Your ties with the word normal grow less and less sure, it's as if upon learning of your disability, you were no longer regarded as normal by society. Normal is such an odd concept anyway, who decides what's normal and what isn't? Who gets to determine if you're able to fit in with normal people? It's unfair, but you should realize that it's okay to not be normal, to just be your own kind of normal and allow other people to be that too. A disability is something that holds you back, but it's not something that defines you, you're still you, and not even your condition will change that.
Whether you wanted to or not, you are no longer in the position to go to a regular school. Instead, you've enrolled into a school designed specifically for people who are in a similar situation as you are. A school for disabled students. There are those that call it an opportunity, a clean slate, right? A chance to start all over again. Yet, that doesn't take away the fact that each and every person there would not be labeled normal by society and you're now one of them. However, in this school, having a disability is considered normal and an every day fact.
This school was not designed to simply take care of students, quite the contrary. In fact, this school is designed to teach students how to take care of themselves, rather than relying solely on other people. While catering to the special needs of some students, the teachers and the staff wish to ensure that each and every person graduates and becomes a full and valued member of society, not held back by their disability and giving them the chance to achieve whatever it is they want to achieve with their lives with the funds and facilities available. To this end, Yamaku pays even more attention to students' ambitions and plans after the graduate.
Welcome to Yamaku, the starting grounds of your new life.
(The main entrance of Yamaku.)
Now that we have the introduction out of the way, some elaboration is in order. Yamaku high , as explained beforehand, a school designed to take care of students with disabilities and give them equal chances as everyone else. Yamaku has special facilities to offer for almost every student with a disability. In an auxiliary building, right next to the dormitories, there is a nursing staff that is available every moment of every day. Other than nurses, there are also a couple of therapists who help students with their non-physical conditions or the mental issues that physical conditions can cause on one's mind. Keep in mind that Yamaku is primarily designed for people with physical disabilities, such as deaf, blind or missinglimb as examples. What wouldn't be accepted were people with schizophrenia or split personalities.
The grounds around Yamaku are lush, large and very green, almost abnormally so for a school. This helps to set the tone for how the school is meant to be perceived, a place of rest and ease. It succeeds in maintaining this image because of the fact that it is located on a hill overlooking a valley, with nothing but a small village down the hill as the only civilization in the neighborhood. In addition to that, the grounds are kept neat and tidy on an almost analytical level, this school having the funds to employ much of these standards that might seem excessive for a school thanks to many benefactors and charities funding the project.
Reflecting the pompous exterior that gave the effect of trying to be more than a school due to its rather traditional architecture, the interior is large and spacious as well. Yamaku's hallways are broad and equipped with a railing for people who might need support getting around. Needless to say, the entire school is completely handicap accessible, multiple elevators and slopes ensuring that people in wheelchairs or with other disabilities can get around flawlessly. The windows are roofs of each and every single room appear to be high, giving an impression of space everywhere and allowing sunlight to light every single chamber as well.
Apart from the auxiliary building where the nurse staff keeps a vigilant watch, the school houses a lot of other facilities for the students. On its large grounds, you can find a track field where just about any kind of sport can be practiced, from rugby to track and field. In the auxiliary building, there is also a swimming pool, though this is mostly used not for recreation, but for rehabilitation. For those with a less sportive attitude, Yamaku is home to a rather large and well stocked library as well. Plenty of the books are in Braille or on audio, which means that even blind or partially blind people should have no excuse to not frequently use this place.
Given the sense of ease and security that Yamaku radiates, most students prefer to live on the campus, in the dormitories, close by the nursing staff that can be called upon 24/7. These dormitories are, of course, separated, both genders have a building of their own. The only thing that prevents coming to one another's building however, are the social barriers that students put up themselves, as Yamaku is quite lenient when it comes to rules in accordance to special situations that might arise with its students. It should be kept in mind that there are several of the staff that will make sure that the curfew is kept in effect.
We'll be starting a little bit into the first semester of the new school year, even though your character might have been in Yamaku before that. Of course, the staff has taken care with the placement of chambers, students in the same class will probably share a hall in the dormitories to facilitate relationships between students.
A lot of clubs exist to have students pass the time outside of the lessons, such as an art club, a book club, a track team, a soccer club, a drama club and much more. With the new school year coming, there'll be a couple of elections inside the student body. First of all, there is the need to appoint a class representative who is in charge of keeping order in the class, resolving disputes between students and oversee special projects such as the preparations for the school festival or a field trip. Other than that, later on in the year the position for the new student council will open up too, those with ambition to be on the council should already make sure to think about their repuation and the upcoming election campaign.
As mentioned beforehand, Yamaku is located on top of a hill overlooking a rather lush valley with a town at the bottom. The remarkable nature all around Yamaku is no doubt one of its good qualities, as it is mosty surrounded by forests. A road right next to Yamaku leads to the nearby city, which is about a twenty minute drive on the bus. The bus comes every morning and evening for the students that should choose not to live in the dormitories at school.
