Located in the Palace of Beauxbatons near Cannes in Southern France, it is unplottable on any map to keep it safe from muggles and rival schools.<br><br>Beauxbatons is an academy that highly values its reputation, and provides schooling that focuses more on culture and how to deal with problems diplomatically instead of teaching its students to first resort to hexes and curses. The school itself is much bigger than its sister schools; Hogwarts and Durmstrang. It is almost always brightly lit, and looks like it was just recently established.<br><br>There are three mansions within the academy, in which students are sorted when they start their first year. A sorting cloak is used to place students. However, if a student is unhappy with the mansion they are placed into they may request to be placed in a different mansion by asking the head of the mansion they were sorted into. Though, it is requested that the student at least try to stay in the mansion they were sorted to.</div>

(Also referred to as Beauxbatons Village.) First and second year students cannot work in the village, but third years and on are permitted to do so.<br><br><strong>Library Service</strong><br>Students signing up for this task are required to: send out howlers to patrons with late fees, update library records, organize and put away stray books at the end of the day, along with other tasks that can be assigned at the librarians discretion.<br><br><strong>Stable Service</strong><br>Beauxbatons is home to beautiful flying horses. Students attending to the stables are expected to: clean out the stalls, clean hooves (if necessary and able), brush the horses and make sure their feathers are neat and trimmed, gathering fresh hay and supplying the horses with single malt whiskey. <em><strong>Students under the age of 18 will not be permitted to handle the whiskey</strong></em>. Other tasks may be delegated at the discretion of the stable keeper.<br><br><strong>Gardening Service</strong><br>The school has a few gardens located about the grounds. While students signing up for this are not expected to tend to <em>every</em> garden, it is expected that they will manage the upkeep of at least one. Students must: pull weeds, water the flowers and herbs, prune the shrubs and hedges, mowing the lawn. The head gardener may assign additional tasks.<br><br><strong>Janitorial Service</strong><br>Though each student is expected to clean up after themselves, there is still need for janitorial work. Services include: keeping each classroom stocked with required materials, dusting/sweeping/polishing, making sure laundry does not accumulate. Other tasks can be assigned by the head janitor.<br><br><strong>Village Service</strong><br>Third years and older may choose to preform a service in Beauxbatons Village. These can range from assisting shop keepers, to giving free tours of the village, or even playing a musical instrument for the elderly residents of the village. Students wishing to come up with their own ideas for village service are to consult with the head of their mansion.<br><br>Students are encouraged to complete their services, as doing so awards bonus points to their houses. Not participating in a service will lead to loss of house points, and more severe consequences for further infractions.</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div>

				<div align="center">While Beauxbatons Academy is not a normal school, there are still rules that must be adhered to unless a student wishes to face punishment; and ultimately, expulsion.<br><br><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>Students are required to speak in French while attending. It is considered rude to converse in a language that not everyone can understand, thus it can lead to students feeling left out if they can't understand what is being said. (For the purposes of this RP, it is assumed that every character will be speaking French; unless otherwise stated.)</li><li>Students aged 18 and older (typically thirds years and on) are permitted to have wine during dinner. However, students should know their alcohol limit and cease drinking before they become too intoxicated. It is considered impolite and crude. The social stigma often embarrasses students far more than the punishment they will receive.</li><li>There are no classes on Wednesdays. This is a free day for students, and may do whatever they wish with their free time. Most students choose to fulfill their community service for the week on this day. However, there is also the option to fulfill that duty on a Sunday.</li><li>Classes start at 8am and continue until noon. There is an hour and a half lunch break (which may be used however the student wishes), and classes resume again at 1:45pm until 5pm, with one of those hours dedicated to a mandatory study hall.</li><li>Saturday classes start at 8am, and end at noon.</li><li>School uniforms are to be worn during school hours. After the school day has ended, students are free to wear whatever they wish <em>within reason</em>. Promiscuous and/or provocative clothing reflects poorly on the student and the school as a whole. Students wearing such clothing are given a warning and slight deduction of mansion points. Further infractions will result in more serious consequences.</li></ul></div>

				<div align="center">Students receive grades based on their participation in class, how well they do on exams, and assigned homework. Below, is the grading system from highest mark to lowest.<br><br><strong>R - REMARQUABLE:</strong> The grade ‘R’ is given to recognise the most outstanding students in any given subject. Class tests and exams have not only been answered correctly, but display an insight into the subject matter that goes over and beyond the expected. ‘R’ students often contribute thoughtful comments and insights based on class materials and relevant current events, often prompting others to contribute to the discussion as well. They listen to the comments and insights of others with respect and attention.<br><br><strong>M - MERVEILLEUX:</strong> The grade ‘M’ is given to students in recognition of above average achievements in any given subjects. Most questions in class tests and exams have been answered correctly, and there are only a few minor flaws in the student’s knowledge. ‘M’ students regularly contribute thoughtful comments and insights based on class materials and relevant current events and listen to the comments and insights of others with respect and attention.<br><br><strong>S - SATISFAISANT:</strong> The grade ‘S’ is given to students showing an average performance in class. Class tests and exams are passed; however, there are some noticeable gaps in the student’s knowledge. ‘S’ students sometimes contribute comments and insights based on class materials and relevant current events, more often at the instructor's prompting; they are generally polite, but could be more engaged in class discussions.<br><br><strong>I - INSUFFISANT:</strong> The grade ‘I’ is given to students showing a below average but still acceptable performance. Class test and exams are barely passed, and there are serious gaps in the student’s knowledge. ‘I’ students seldom contribute comments and insights of their own volition; comments are not always relevant to materials or discussion at hand; 'I' students need to pay more attention to the contributions of the instructor and peers.<br><br><strong>E- ÉPOUVANTABLE:</strong> The grade ‘E’ is given for below average performances. Class tests and exams are attempted, however not passed. ‘E’ students rarely and reluctantly contribute to class discussions; they comment minimally and/or disrespectfully; 'E' students are often noticeably disinterested in instructor's and peers' contributions.<br><br><strong>A - ABOMINABLE:</strong> The grade ‘A’ is given for an extremely poor performance. Class tests and exams are not even attempted. ‘A’ students never contribute to class discussions and/or have demonstrated frequent disrespectful behaviour towards instructor and peers.</div>
