Many Schola are deliberately built in remote or isolated regions of their worlds, both to ensure the security of the facilities, and to prevent the progena from attempting to escape.{{Fn|2c}} The children that do escape might end up living a life of freedom amongst the local [[Hive Scum]].{{Fn|18}} Certainly many progena may desire to leave, for the rigours of their training are designed to be as harsh as possible, constantly testing their physical and mental fortitude during their studies. This ensures that the Schola's cadets are conditioned to handle and overcome any challenges that may face them when they graduate into the service of the wider Imperium.{{Fn|2c}} The Schola Progenium also operates training facilities on various [[Death World]]s.{{Fn|16}} ===Known locations of the Schola Progenium===Worlds known to host Schola Progenium facilities include:*[[Antigone's Harbour]] — Located on [[Terra]].{{Fn|20}}*[[Ignatius Cardinal]]{{Fn|14}}*[[Makron V]] — Training grounds of the [[34th Betic Centaurs]] [[regiment]].{{Fn|2e}}*The moons of [[Mezoa]] — Training grounds of the [[Lambdan Lions]] [[regiment]]s.{{Fn|2d}}*[[Olvein Devus]]{{Fn|2i}}*[[Phrell]]{{Fn|2h}}*[[Saint Phramona]]{{Fn|2b}}*[[Skell II]]{{Fn|2f}}*[[Vedill I]] — Training grounds of the [[9th Iotan Gorgonnes]] [[regiment]] and the [[Order of the Glowing Chalice]].{{Fn|2g}} ==Progena==Graduates of the Schola are known as ''Progena'', and because of the loyalty their training has instilled in them, graduates they are frequently sent for further training and service within other Imperial organizations, organisations.

These roles can include [[Tempestus Scions]], whether these are the [[Storm TrooperArbites]]s and {{Fn|15}}, [[Commissar]]s of the [[Imperial Guard]], officers of the [[Imperial Navy]], [[Imperial Assassin]]s, or sometimes and even budding [[Inquisitors]].
