The Clamp School is the brainchild of the Imonoyama zaibatsu. It is placed in a sprawling estate as big as a small city. Shaped like a pentagram, each of the five corners houses one of the five school divisions, which range from kindergarten though college, even graduate school. It also is a self-contained campus in Tokyo, it having its own city, complete with banks, shopping arcades, public utilities, as well as its own mass rapid transit system. The Clamp School's mission is to cater to all talented students, rich or poor.
The institution is featured in other Clamp works such as Magic Knight Rayearth, Man of Many Faces and X/1999. X/1999 expands the reasoning behind the campus's unique layout by revealing that part-way through the campus's construction, a request came from Tohru Magami to have the site act as a sanctuary for the Sacred Sword to be wielded by her son, Kamui Shirou, during an apocalyptic battle to occur in 1999. The director agreed and changed the layout to form a pentagram at Tohru Magami's request, resulting in having to move half-completed or even entire buildings to fulfill this
CLAMP School's physical plant configuration is partly replicated in an unrelated anime, Alice Academy.
