There was a time that she looked after two members of my team, when they were based in San Diego. Wanton was one of ’em. If you treat her with anything less than the utmost respect, you won’t get any more cooperation from me. Got it?” “Not a problem,” Tattletale said. I nodded an agreement. - Excerpt from Scourge 19.3</ref> |

Wards Training School[edit]
The department has a large Wards training center, offering several months of training during the summer.<ref>In the case of troublesome Wards, it gets doubly difficult because Wards aren't generally moved from city to city, and you have the parents as additional hurdles to negotiate with. Some will get sent to, say, San Diego for the huge Wards training center, and that keeps them busy for a few months while 'boot camping' them, but that's for a summer at best and the kid eventually goes back. In some cases, you just end up with a better trained troublemaker, like we saw with Sophia Hess. - reddit comment by Wildbow.</ref> Wards are typically sent there to learn how to fight <ref>XV: @WB Are there anything resembling cape-oriented schools/universities on Bet?

Ward training school

San Diego is actually a neat setting. Where Sophia learned to fight, as they sent her there in hopes it would boot-camp straighten her out. Weld likely would've gone there too. - Archived on Spacebattles</ref> It had students like Shadow Stalker and Optics.<ref>Flare 2.6</ref> They get an introduction to cape politics there.<ref>“There’s more where it came from,” Lookout said. “I went to the training camps for Wards. That’s like, ten percent kids acting like it’s prison and crying in a corner being homesick, twenty percent kids with stars in their eyes being amazed by everything, and seventy percent kids trying to establish a pecking order and murdering each other with words.”
“You were, what, nine?” Cryptid asked. “I can’t imagine you establishing any pecking order.”
“I didn’t say I was one of those seventy percent.”
“Oh, stars in your eyes, of course. You have that all the time.” - Excerpt from Beacon 8.1</ref>
