Kirigaoka Girls' Academy

Kirigaoka Girls' Academy (霧ヶ丘女学院) is a girls' high school located in District 18 in Academy City. It is dedicated to raising students with rare abilities, as opposed to schools like Tokiwadai which raises people with more common abilities to a high level. A student's rank isn't measured by the ability's Level but by its rareness, as Himegami Aisa mentions to Kamijou Touma in Volume 6 as the reason why Kazakiri Hyouka was at the top of the rankings every time.

It is mentioned in passing in a conversation between Tsukuyomi Komoe and Yomikawa Aiho that this place is also the leading expert in "unconventional" esper theories, as one of the teachers Isoshio wrote a thesis about animals being unable to develop esper abilities since it requires a level of intelligence equal to that of a five-year-old human child and most animals have a level equal to that of a two-year-old.

It also plays a part in Aleister Crowley's plans, as it has a research facility for studying AIM Field and Kazakiri Hyouka.

Despite being a notable school, it also has connections to the dark side of Academy City, with a branch located within or close to the school that conducts dubious research, as mentioned in passing by Accelerator in Volume 12 and shown when Mugino Shizuri and Kakine Teitoku fight there in Volume 15.
