Bartholomew Wendell Academy is a school for gifted students, though the word “gifted” is used in a decidedly different sense. At this school, the teachers bear scars and have a severe lack of censorship in their classrooms.
The curriculum includes subjects such as Culture and Assimilation, Close Quarters Combat, Advanced Weaponry, and Counter Intelligence—along with several others. At BW, the students are praised for fighting and rewarded for acts of mischief and deceit.
Bartholomew Academy is—and always has been since its inception—a school that not only fosters its students' potential for intellectual growth, but molds them into living, breathing weapons.

Nephilim: Genesis
Fifteen-year-old Daxton Jackson lived a normal, privileged life with his mother, District Attorney June Jackson, in Atlanta. But everything changed when he was recruited to a mysterious new school in Alexandria, Virginia: AZ Academy. It's not just any school-it's a training ground for children who are descendants of Nephilim, the powerful offspring of the Sons of God and the Daughters of Adam. Most students at AZ Academy are gifted intellectually, but a rare few possess active abilities, powers ranging from telekinesis and premonitions to telepathy and spontaneous combustion. These exceptional students are known as The Elite. AZ Academy's mission is twofold: to shape its gifted students into the future doctors, scientists, engineers, and leaders of a new world, and to train The Elite as soldiers, preparing them for the ultimate battle of Armageddon against the coming of the Antichrist. For Dax, life at AZ Academy becomes even more complicated when he begins to experience premonitions-visions of the future that show glimpses of death, chaos, and the danger his friends face. As the lines between prophecy and reality blur, Dax is forced to confront the weight of his new abilities, the dark fate that awaits them all, and the question that haunts him: Can he change what's destined, or is he too late to save his friends-and himself?
Little Sweet Dreamer
"Oh," he said, as my back hit the wooden wall. Damn it, of course. With nowhere to go, his arms locked me in between him and the wall. He stared down at me as he said, "So you're trying to piss me off?" His lips were surprisingly close to mine. No guy would ever be this close to me in real life, let alone me being able to handle it; I would've been so timid and afraid. But this was the dream world. I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to. "Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine. Then, he smirked and swiftly closed the gap between our lips. ~~ In a small town in New York, Hazel is your average quiet type. In a school full of clichés, she falls perfectly under the category of "nerd" and has her own little nerdy group of people she loves to hang around. They respect the fact that she's non-verbal. The thing that plagued her, surprisingly, is not her inability and refusal to speak, but her ability to go through anybody and everybody's dreams. This is not something she can control, nor something that's necessarily dangerous. It just happens. One second she's in darkness, the next second she happens to be in someone's dream. But, when she stumbles into a dream of a guy she never knew existed in her grade of 500 students, albeit his popular status, both her worlds get flipped upside down.Complete
