The Academy

The Academy in Whitehaven district is a large, historic, educational building that provides all manner of classes. It is common practice for middle-class families to send their children here to undertake comprehensive courses covering a wide variety of subjects over multiple terms. Older individuals are not able to join these classes, but can instead pay to attend short, intense catch-up courses providing the essentials in a few key areas. The Academy itself is a maze of haphazardly planned corridors and passageways lined with old oil paintings and wood paneling.

The Academy's administrative headquarters are in the adjacent Historical Society, a separate building but part of the same institution.

History

Founded in 2278 by the renowned Dean Eric Kandor.

Classes

The player can take four different courses here. You must arrive between 8 AM and 12 PM to attend a course, and pay a fee. This fee is a one-time payment for the course and does not need to be paid for each lecture You must attend multiple lectures to complete the course. Once the course is completed, you will gain bonuses to stats. There is a minimum and maximum gain for each course, so everyone will learn at least something. (You want Intelligence 60+ for max stat gains from Hemme's and Wolf's courses, 70+ for Daria's course and her Gift.) Courses cannot be taken again once completed.
