Academy Details
- The Academy is very oriented towards the arts; therefore, while it does teach generic subjects like math and history, it does not focus of these. There will be plenty of room for the student to construct their own schedule and curriculum, in order to better aid their own personal goals and fields of study. Refer to the schedule for elaboration.
- After school activities will be encouraged and emphasized, so make sure to put extra thought into your clubs and teams of choice.
- The Academy is located near the central city, therefore shops and restaurants of the local cultural hub will be a mere ten to fifteen minute walk away, and only a brief bike ride or drive. The bus runs on a regular schedule, passing by the academy twice every morning, afternoon, and evening.
- There are regular holidays during which students may visit families at home, or host family visits. These holidays include Summer, Fall, and Winter breaks. However, students are encouraged to stay, and plan their own holiday themed parties, for occasions like Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's etc.
- IMPORTANT: There is an annual film festival. This will be elaborated upon in the IC thread.
- The campus is large and extensive, spanning over 400 acres. It includes just about any and all facilities you can think of, from libraries and theaters to sports fields and swimming pools.
- There is a plaza at the center of the campus, outfitted with a student store (where one can buy supplies, text books, uniform replacements, etc), dining areas (food stands, a bistro, a small restaurant), a small museum that documents the history of filmmaking and the Academy, and the main office as well as the medical unit. Many events take place here, such as pep rallies, parades, and large parties.
- The uniform is only mandatory Monday through Thursday, during class hours, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It changes between the cold and warm seasons, and students will be supplied with new outfits as necessary. Students are responsible for the up keeping of their uniforms, including regular washes; if an article of clothing is somehow damaged, it can be replaced at the student store. They do not have to be followed strictly, and personal embellishment is allowed, and definitely encouraged for those studying costume design.
