Deep in the forests of Transylvania there is a school hidden from the general public. Only a few humans know of it, and fewer are allowed admittance. This is because the school, Dubbed Stowerling Keep, is a school for supernatural creatures. This world knows of these creatures, if only a little as most of them don't associate with the human populace if they can help it. There are exceptions, however. these students are all sent a letter once they reach puberty(since the age differs between races) which admits them to the school through a monorail with hidden entrances and are given a trans-lingual barrier breaking bracelet so as to all understand each other in their mother tongue.
The Races at the school are as follows:
Fairie-excel in Light Magicks. can use both a human and pixie-like form
Demon-excel in Dark Magicks. misunderstood race that is viewed as evil by most students, when it is simply a bloodline
Tree Sprite- Excel in Plant Magicks. must be watered/hydrated every two days
Light elves-excel in Healing Magicks. A proud race that views itself to be pure and blameless
Dark elves-excel in Illusion Magicks. A by product of Dragons and Light Elves Mating. they are viewed as a disgrace
Lamia-excel in Hypnotism Magicks and (ironically) are amazingly talented chefs. cold blooded, and must use heat sources(usually other -students) to get warm. there are no males of this species.
Naga-exel in Hypnotism Magicks and (ironically) are amazingly talented chefs. cold blooded, and must use heat sources(usually other -students) to get warm. these are similar to Lamia, but are completely reptilian with no human features and are native to Japan.
Dragons-excel in transfiguration Magicks (and not just on themselves(vary in size when in true form))
Harpys-excel at speed enhance/dampening Magicks, and their flight abilities are unparalleled
Vampires-exel at no magicks, but can summon familiars. there is a monthly blood drive to allow them a substantial amount of sustenance when at school so they don't feed on unwilling classmates. However, I did say UNWILLING. THESE ARE NOT TWILIGHT VAMPIRES. THINK ALUCARD ON A LESS POWERFUL SCALE.
Werewolves-exel at no specific magicks, but their strength is unparalleled even when not in wolf form
Centaurs-excel in weaponry usage and are the fastest ground bound race to date. Have two stomachs, and therefore eat both human and horse -foods each meal. largest appetite of any race.
Mermaids-excel in water related Magicks, and can breath under water. must be hydrated constantly
Fire Sprites-excel at fire related magicks, but need to smoke and eat coal to sustain themselves
Golems-excel in earth magicks, and can use earth to "build" weapons to use on the battlefield.
Ghouls-excel in ethereal and death related spells of arcane origin. vary in appearance, don't eat anything and, for all intents and purposes, are basically just other monsters that died yet retained the ability to be on the material plane.
Cyclops'-excel at modern technology magicks(example: like a technomancer), and keep the school up to date and modernized, but lack depth perception.
Half Breed- excel at whatever the two halves are, but are also weak to more things than a regular race
Celestial- basically a demigod, they excel at foresight magicks and can usually tell you what will happen in the near future, however none of them are 100% accurate. they are weak to physically strong opponents, however they are very evasive in combat.
Humans-???
Also, a Half Breed doesn't need to be half human. A Naga or Lamia/Mermaid would be considered an electric Eel instead of snake bottom, a demon and fire sprite would be considered a Hellspawn, and Dark elves are the by-product of Dragons and Light Elves, Golems/Harpys are Gargoyles, Cyclops/anything is just a one eyed version of that other creature. a Phoenix is a Fire Sprite/Harpy...etc. the other half breed are up to you to create a race or character that makes sense.

Stowerling Keep is pleased to be crowned the number one school for the supernatural and we guarantee you will find us accommodating of anything you may need. We offer a variety of rooms for all species with state of the art technology to seamlessly integrate into your daily lives. We offer a computer lab for your studies or gaming needs, and every commons area is equipped with video games for those who prefer consoles. We also have a pool, and several facilities such as a greenhouse and sauna which you are free to use at any time. Our cafeteria serves every delicacy you can dream up including a smoking area for those who need it to live(looking at you fire sprites). At any rate, I suppose we should start by explaining how you understand me? See that bracelet you were given? it is a universal linguistics translator. It allows all students to understand any language at any time. If it gets damaged you will begin to hear a small humming and a warning in your mother tongue. Please don't hesitate to ask questions, and we hope to see you at the academy!

BTW, this letter doesn't explode or scream, so please leave the god awful Harry Potter bullshit at home. Dementors are glorified nightmare fuel, and you should know by now that the most evil you are going to come across is the Vice Chairman, Dracula, as he does tend to bite the unlucky ones who misbehave...
