The Wilderness School is a boarding school that Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, and Dylan used to attend, located in Nevada. Gleeson Hedge, a satyr, also worked there as a coach because he was supposed to keep an eye on Piper and Leo. Leo describes it as a school for "bad kids," such as perpetual runaways or thieves and delinquents.
Even though it is supposedly host to troublemakers in the state, Jason notes that they all seem pretty normal. They are said to occasionally take field trips. The amnesiac Jason first awoke on a school bus heading to the Grand Canyon. According to Leo, its location is in the middle of the desert, probably to avoid the students from escaping.
