Old School House

The Old School House (also called Grace's School) was an English school owned by the RDA sited in the jungle clearing 2.25 kilometers northeast of Hell's Gate. The school has been closed for two years, since Sylwanin and a group of young hunters had set a bulldozer on fire. Sylwanin and many other children were killed by RDA troopers after they searched for shelter at the school.
==History==
===First Years===
Grace Augustine proposed the idea of ​​opening a school where Na'vi and humans could interact, but this all got worse when a mysterious illness began to affect children and avatars. But in the end everything was settled when Grace and Mo'at discovered a cure, and the offer to open the school was accepted. In 2142According to Pandorapedia, René Harper only arrived 2142, and Grace Augustine stated that she put ten years into the school. For Beyda'amo to distrust humans because of the massacre by 2152, the school must have been founded in 2142 and closed that year., Grace founded the school to teach young Na'vi from the Omatikaya clan English and basic human education. The Na'vi were said to be capable of learning faster than Grace could teach. The school was operational for around ten years.
===The Attack===
In 2152, Sylwanin stopped coming to school, as she was angry about the work of the RDA on Pandora. One day, she and several other young hunters came running to the school, all painted up, because they had set a bulldozer on fire. They thought that Grace could protect them, but the troopers pursued them to the school and killed Sylwanin in the doorway, in front of her sister, Neytiri, and then shot the others. Although Grace got most of the kids out in the middle of the gunfire, the children never came back.
===After the Gunfire===
Two years after the events that killed Sylwanin and other children, Grace, Jake Sully and Norm Spellman visited the school, now in ruins. Since the school closed, it has only been used as a storehouse. After Jake saw bullet holes in a blackboard, he wondered what happened, but Grace didn't reveal what happened there until later.
Grace was still deeply affected by the slaughter, which brought her to tears when thinking about it. She revealed to Jake that the children called her sa'nok, mother in English. She said that the pain she felt was strong enough to reach back to her human body through the link.
