I am looking for fics in which Spike and/or Buffy are sent to a special academy. It can be a school for really intelligent/academic people, or those gifted in magic, or training to be Slayers, even a culinary school. Just something specialized. Thanks in advance.

Well, in this one Buffy is sent away to a special boarding school for ice skaters.

In the ARMY Now by Im_bloody_English

Summary: COMPLETED Buffy joins the military and heads off to Basic Training. The Boot Camp experience can be rough enough to endure, but there's something, or rather someone that will make her time spent becoming a soldier ten times worse - a Drill Sergeant sent straight from the bowels of hell that takes an instant dislike to her mere presence............. Spike. He's evil, he's mean, he hates her but even worse... he lusts for her. This is not a military fic or even a fic about the military. The Army serves only as the backdrop-setting to the story, so don't shy away from reading. Winner of Best Fantasy at Love's Last Glimpse Awards, round 19.
