The Academy
Whitehaven Academy is a large educational building that provides all manner of classes. It is common practice for middle-class families to send their children here to take comprehensive classes that cover a wide variety of subjects over multiple terms. Older individuals are not able to attend these classes, but can still pay to attend individual classes that can still provide a decent education in a chosen subject. The Academy itself is a maze of haphazardly planned corridors and passageways lined with old oil paintings and wood paneling.
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 as well as paying 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 actually complete the course. Once the course is completed, you will gain stats. There is a minimum and maximum gain for each course, so everyone will learn at least something. (60 or higher INT for maximum stats) Courses cannot be taken again once completed.
