Depiction in the series
In the season one episode The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Twilight Sparkle tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders the story of how she received her cutie mark. She says that when she was a filly, her parents enrolled her in Princess Celestia's school to study magic. At the entrance exam, Twilight was tasked with hatching a dragon egg, but her magic got out of control when she was startled by Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom. Princess Celestia witnessed Twilight's magical abilities and made Twilight her personal student.

Depiction in the comics
In, the School for Gifted Unicorns holds its annual Royal High Tea at Canterlot Castle. Numerous students, parents, and pony-teacher committee are seen in attendance. When one of the school's senior teachers, Professor Inkwell, begins to lose her peers' respect, Princess Celestia holds a meeting at the school to decide Inkwell's retirement. The committee is reminded of Inkwell's many contributions to the school, and Inkwell is allowed to stay on as a teacher.

In the My Little Pony Annual 2013 mini-comic The Fall of Sunset Shimmer, Sunset Shimmer passes her midterm exam by using an overgrowth spell on a potted plant, much to the amazement of her teachers and fellow students.
