Tokiwadai Middle School

Tokiwadai Middle School (常盤台中学) is a girls' middle school in the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe. It is currently the only-named school in Academy City to contain the most characters in the series.

Background
It is currently one of the top 5 schools of Academy City and is said to be the most renowned girls' school in the world. It is also mentioned that it had once sparked an international incident for refusing to admit a girl from a royal family because she wasn't good enough.

Currently Unabara Mitsuki's grandfather is the administrator of the school.

Student Demographics
Entry requirement is esper ability Level 3 or higher, and the school currently have less than 200 students. Of the 200 students, there are currently 2 Level 5 espers, 47 Level 4 espers, and the rest being Level 3 espers.

Uniform
The uniforms worn by all Tokiwadai students seen so far have been comprised of a short-sleeved white dress shirt worn under a light brown vest with the school emblem on the left side. For bottoms, the girls wear dark tan pocketed skirts that reach halfway down their thighs. There seems to be no uniform requirement for socks or shoes and other additions, such as Mikoto's shorts.

In Volume 12, it is mentioned like all other schools in Academy City Tokiwadai has a seperate set of uniform for winter time as opposed to summer. It comprises of a tan buttoned jumper (a shade darker than the summer vest), but no other changes seem to have been made to the uniform.

Campus
Tokiwadai is located in the School Garden, an area inside Academy City consisting of Tokiwadai and four other girl's schools, with a shopping area dedicated to the rich young girls.

The school is fairly large, other than the main building which probably holds its classrooms, it also holds a track and field area and also a large swimming pool (which is used by staff to measure Mikoto's power). The school also contains a showering area.

Tokiwadai has two dormitories, one of them is outside of the School Garden and where Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko reside in, and the other one which is in the School Garden where Kongou Mitsuko takes residence.

Activites
Other than the usual events the school participates in like the Daihasai Festival. Tokiwadai seem to hold a Midsummer Festival which is held in the dormitory that is not in the School Garden, here the students are to wear maid ensembles and have them welcome and serve guests, they give and invite the guests in demonstrations like flower arrangement, sewing, etc., and at the end of the festival someone from the festival is to give a performance. The festival is first seen in episode 19 of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime where Misaka Mikoto was voted to give the performance.
