Knights' Academy

The Knights' Academy is an organization from the LEGO Nexo Knights series, serving as its secondary heroic faction. It's an institution that teaches children in Knighton how to be knights so that they can protect the kingdom once they graduate.
==History==
Knights' Academy was founded in the early days of Knighton by Reginald Brickland, member of the Order of the Eight. Since its foundation, the academy has trained numerous students to become knights. After Merlok defeated Monstrox and an era of peace started in the kingdom, the academy sent out only a handful of alumni every year. On the day of the five Nexo Knights' graduation, however, Jestro released the Book of Monsters and his Lava Monsters from imprisonment, and to fight them, the academy started to accept and train more students than in recent years.
During the Stone Monsters crisis, two first-year students, Izzy Richmond and Fletcher Bowman, accidentally caused a blackout in the academy with a Forbidden Power, leaving it defenseless. The ancient warlord Baron von Bludgeonous broke into the academy that very night and stole the Forbidden Power, but his plans to conquer and corrupt Knighton with it were foiled.
During Monstrox's rampage as the Stone Colossus, several Knights' Academy students prepared to defend the capital from him.
==Overview==
The Knights' Academy is based in Knightonia. Most of its classrooms and dormitories are located in a single building. The academy has a four year course of education, and after successfully completing it, the student is officially knighted and given their personal Nexo Shield.
Under the academy building, ancient and abandoned catacombs are located. Rogul of Vicious Voltage used to be located there, but has since been released and currently lives in the academy building with his master Fletcher.
Knights' Academy's main building is said to be the most protected place in all of Knighton due to it housing the kingdom's future protectors, and the danger posed to it during the blackout caused its principal great stress.
