The main purpose of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters (and later the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning) seems to be to teach mutants to use their powers. Does the school also teach "normal" school subjects, like mathematics, history, language arts, or science? Would a mutant at this school ever learn stuff like algebra or physics?



I'm interested in Marvel Comics in the Earth-616 universe (or whatever it calls itself these days), although other universes or media would be interesting supplementary information.

  • @Jenayah I'm not familiar with the distinction. Is it pretty much the same facility? Like, they weren't operating at the same time, and Jean Grey's school is designed to succeed Xavier's?

  • Pretty much, yeah. Wolverine, Beast, Kitty and co rebuilt the thing to host a new school, named after Jean Grey (the Professor wasn't dead, though), basically to start anew, with better hopes for mutant integration through control of their powe... Yeah you guessed it by the end of first issue the school is attacked and it's mayhem. So, hey, pretty much basically the same. (save for toilets seats on fire - yes, that's a thing)

Movies: Yes.



The first three X-Men movies show scenes of children getting taught regular subjects. These include Prof. X teaching a (presumably) English Lit class about The Once and Future King, and in the first film Prof. X dolling out (what I think is) physics homework. I remember a (possibly) deleted scene of Storm teaching a class too.
