[edit] Curiculum
Students were required to wear identical school uniforms and studyied subjects such as history, politics and fencing, all taught by high quality tutors. Its library provided background material on subjects such as geology, psychology, politics and warfare and the academy had its own school band and sports team(s). However, the academy had high tuition fees and demand for places at the academy outstripped supply.
Keeping in with its reputation, the academy ensured that its students had a 100% graduation rate.
[edit] Layout
The academy had grounds of well maintained lush parkland and playing fields, the academy's clock spire looming over them. The academy itself was a building of polished gray granite. A columned portico sheltered the entrance and its triangular pediment decorated with heroic individuals and symbols of academic and martial excellence. The assembly hall was located in the main block of the academy, a vaulted chamber of cedar-painted walls, portraits of illustrious former students, high ceilings and oak beems. The students would gather here every morning to listen to the day's announcements.
The academy forbade students from venturing into the area outside it kept within the grounds by walls and security patrols, the interior of the academy also fitted with sophisticated survalliance and evesdropping equipment. However, Arcturus Mengsk and his companions were able to venture outside the academy numerous times. While security was 'improved' under the tenure of Principal Isaac Steegman, a fundraiser held to help improve the security of the students all that was resulted was a brick gatehouse and two wooden sawhorses as part of a checkpoint to the campus proper. Despite excessive donations, most of the money ended up lining his own pockets. Upon graduation however, Mengsk exposed Steegman's corruption.
