A Certain High School



A Certain High School is the term used to refer the yet-unnamed high school that the protagonist, Kamijou Touma is enrolled in. In the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe, it is the school in Academy City with the most named characters, next to Tokiwadai Middle School.

The school is located on a hill, and one needs to climb an inclination and a number of steps to reach its main entrance. It is assumed there is also an alternate way into the grounds, as staff members can park their vehicles inside the school grounds.

Appearance
The establishment looks like a typical Japanese-style school building. The school has a large main building, towering several stories and with several other buildings surrounding the main one. Like any standard Japanese school, they have lockers for the students, parking space for the staff, a faculty room, a cafeteria, and an auditorium, and the roofs are apparently accessible to any student in the school.

Around the school there are various areas of interest, such as open areas where students can congregate and consume their lunches; one is notable for being close to a small pond. The school also has a large field, probably used for sport-related events, as well as tennis courts.

Touma describes it in the novels as having two buildings, with the front being the new one, and at the back the old one. It is also described as being very ordinary, for a school in Academy City, having a flat campus and having the front and back buildings. There's also a semicircle roofed sports hall on the left, and a swimming pool on the right.

Uniforms
The summer male uniform appears to be a white dress shirt coupled with dark blue pants. The winter uniform includes the same dark pants, but the students wear a dark-colored jacket of the same shade. The female uniform is a sailor fuku which comes in both dark blue with white and white with dark blue (the former color is the main color, while the latter is used for stripes and borders) along with a dark skirt.

Students seem to be able to make additions to their uniform if they wish, such as Tsuchimikado Motoharu wearing gold chains.

Toaru Majutsu no Index
Since Touma goes to school here, it is often featured whenever he is going to his supplemental lessons.

The school is prominently featured during this arc, where the second semester starts and Touma is forced to leave Index at home to attend his first day of school since losing his memories. Here, he notes that he is quite nervous, as though he feels like a transfer student in a new school.

Later on Index follows Touma, and is presumed by the class to be the new transfer student, but is dragged away by Tsukuyomi Komoe where it is later revealed that Himegami Aisa is the new transfer student. Index later meets Kazakiri Hyouka in a cafeteria, and they become fast friends. Hyouka is later introduced to Touma, and later agrees to go to the underground mall with him and Index.

Year 1 Class 7
Year 1 Class 7 is the most prominent class in this school featured in the series, being that it is Touma's homeroom. The homeroom teacher is Tsukuyomi Komoe the chemistry teacher, who is beloved by the students of her class.

It is stated that the room lacks an air-conditioning system, though it is unknown if it applies to all classrooms in the high school. From Volume 6 onwards, the entire class knows Index and takes kindly to her.
