[[Alexander Belanger]] serves as the headmaster and one of the teachers. The other two core teachers are [[Rad Ray Sunshine]] and [[Ms Durocher]]. Guest teachers also visit from time to time and include [[Bristow|Mr. Bristow]], Electra Miraz, the Ports, the Crowes, [[Mr. Musser]], Ms. Lair,<ref name=":4">“Raymond has been serving as a guest teacher for a year while pursuing other projects, but is returning this summer and fall, at the very least.  We’re glad to have him.  On the topic of guest teachers, I would like to extent my gratitude to Mr. Bristow, Electra Miraz, the Ports, the Crowes, Mr. Musser, and Ms. Lair, for agreeing to come this summer, and to anyone and everyone else who decides they can find the time.  To others too numerous to name, I would extend thanks for the loaning of books for the student library.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/01/leaving-a-mark-4-5/ excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.5]]</ref> and Ms Graubard.<ref name=":1">"Tymon and Talos’s younger sister Jorja joins us, already an adept caller
 of a greater Urban spirit.  She should be recognizable or even familiar
 to those of you who attended guest lectures with their mother.  Dom, as
 anyone familiar with the Driscoll family knows, is a beginner city mage
 and historian, and we’re excited to see if he takes after his big 
sister and parents.  I’m also very pleased that a long-time colleague of
 mine finally has a child old enough to send to classes here.  Talia 
Graubard is a beginner Dollmaker."
Verona could use that to identify Talia, who had brown hair with 
blonde highlights framing her face, standing beside a doll that was the 
same height and proportions as her.  She had her hands on the shoulders 
of an even younger girl, who hugged a stuffed elephant.

"Brie Callie is a friend of Zed, who many of you know is the fourth 
apprentice to Raymond Sunshine.  Brie played a pivotal role in handling 
the Devouring Song, a problem that has plagued our area for some time, 
and spent the last few weeks here with us, working with Mrs. Durocher, 
and we’re happy to have her.  Lastly, we have three new practitioners 
joining us, a trio of wild practitioners, Avery Kelly, Lucy Ellingson, 
and Verona Hayward.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/01/leaving-a-mark-4-5/ excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.5]]
</ref><ref>"Mrs. Graubard will be available throughout the day and evening to 
discuss enchantment and puppets, and she’s suggested she’s comfortable 
matching to beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, as the 
situation requires.”
Learning enchantment from the Dollmaker it was. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/01/leaving-a-mark-4-5/ excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.5]]</ref>

The pupils are largely those who have been reached out to by one of the core teachers or who operate in the area.<ref name=":0">Most of the time, Mr. Belanger, Mrs. Durocher, or Ray will reach out to people with associated interests.  Jorja’s family is <em>really</em>
 interested in learning from Mrs. Durocher, who is maybe in the top ten 
in the world when it comes to dealing with powers so big that humans 
really have no business meddling in them. [...] The other families are ones that have been here for a long time.  
They’re here because the Institute is close and it’s a good way to 
expand their knowledge.  - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/08/29/leaving-a-mark-4-4/ excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.4]]</ref> There are 50-60 pupils total.<ref>Maybe fifty, sixty students were present.   - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/08/29/leaving-a-mark-4-4/ excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.4]]</ref> The new pupils as of Summer 2020 are the [[Kennet Trio]], [[Brie Callie]], [[List of BHI Students#Jorja Leos|Jorja Leos]], [[List of BHI Students#Talia Graubard|Talia Graubard]], and [[List of BHI Students#Dom Driscoll|Dom Driscoll]],<ref name=":1" /> a full list of known BHI pupils is available [[List of BHI Students|here]].
