The students do not apply for the school but instead the school invites them. If they graduate from the school, they are almost certainly guaranteed for a successful life ahead. Hope's Peak Private Academy is an exclusive, government-sanctioned school that accepts only students with exceptional abilities. Its stated goal is to raise the future “hope” of the nation, earning it the moniker “The Acad
emy of Hope”. It is a source of envy for average high school students, as it is common knowledge that one can gain great success in life just by being a Hope's Peak graduate. Certainly, many Hope's Peak graduates are employed in high positions in every field of the professional world, so that statement is not an exaggeration. There are two requirements to becoming a Hope's Peak student: One must be currently enrolled in high school and one must super-excel at their field of expertise. Hope's Peak does not hold any standard entrance exams, as the academy insists that the things tested by these kind of exams are meaningless for its purposes. Instead, students are scouted for by the school itself. Hope's Peak Academy's faculty members are much like parents, who make it their life's mission to find talent and nurture their children.
