Eden Academy

, formally known as , is a highly prestigious private school located in Berlint, Ostania.
== Overview ==
With a well-established history of over 500 years, Eden Academy is regarded as the top school in the nation. It has a student body of roughly 2500, ranging from ages 6 to 19 with a curriculum spanning 13 grades. The grades are separated from elementary, middle, and high school.
Its strict education and that many of its students and alumni come from families with prominent status have made it extremely desirable for families to enroll their children. Some parents even offer "donations" to enroll their children or buy good grades, but it has been made clear that the headmaster and school administration are not easily bought.
It has been noted that there is a gulf between the alumni families and first-generation students that leads to bullying and discrimination in the student body. The tuition fees for Eden are very expensive, as well as the cost for school uniforms. Due to the presumed wealth of families in Eden Academy, kidnapping students is a common occurrence, to the point that families enrolling to the school get warned of it.
Students are divided into dormitory boarders and commuters. Students who do not stay in the school dormitories travel to school by bus or in their own chauffeured car.
There are a total of 8 classes or groups for each year.
* Specter Hall
* Cline Hall
* Cecile Hall
* Wald Hall
* Malcom Hall
* Hamilton Hall
* Villiers Hall
* Rose Hall
=== Curriculum ===
In the First Year, there are four core subjects; History, Math, Science, and Reading. During the midterm exams, students are tested on each of these subjects. Other secondary subjects include Physical Education, Arts and Crafts, National Language, and Classical Language.
For middle schoolers, subjects include Math, History, Biology, Physics, Primary Foreign Language, and Secondary Foreign Language.
After the exams, the completed tests are kept in a tightly guarded vault in North Hall until grading is completed.
Stella Stars are awarded to the highest and second-highest performing students of each grade for each of the subjects. Any students who fail will receive a Tonitrus Bolt without exception. Scores that are 30 and above appear to be passing grades, while any score below 30 are failing ones.
At the end of the term, students are divided into new classes based on their ability and performance.
=== Seven Wonders ===
For several years, students and teachers have been talking about the existence of various school secrets called the "Seven Wonders of the Eden Academy." Each of them has its own mysterious origins, and there are muted rumors about some of them. A complete list of them all:
* Lorelei, the Siren of the Swimming Pool
* The Moving Portraits of Imperial Scholars
* The True Nature of Pierre Pommier
* The Thirteen Steps in the Great Hall
* The Devil Ritual in the Old Schoolhouse
* The Cursed Underground Maze in Section 4
* The Sealed Chamber in the Tower of Wisdom
The siren shares her name with a well-known Ostanian ship, the title of which may hint at a royal origin. Some portraits of Imperial Scholars of the past are located in the school's Hall of Fame, and a sealed room is located in the Tower where Imperial Scholars mixers are held. Pierre Pommier is a mysterious patissier who appears unannounced in the school cafeteria and offers extraordinary, delicious desserts called the "Pastries of Knowledge," after eating which many students become Imperial Scholars.
== Admissions Process ==
The admissions process consists of two phases, the entrance exam and the family interview. Upon passing the entrance exam, the family is required to attend a mandatory family interview and must include both parents.
=== Entrance Exam ===
The entrance exam is a written exam that takes place in a large hall overseen by an examiner.
=== Family Interview ===
The selection process begins even before the actual interview itself. While the applicants and their families are en route to the interview site, the teaching staff watches and evaluates their every move from the buildings above, passing or failing them based on their elegance. When queuing to confirm their interview appointments, applicants who have passed are directed to Assembly Hall A, while failed applicants are directed to Assembly Hall B.
On the way to Assembly Hall A, applicants are further presented with obstacles to test their ability to resolve them with elegance. For example, a student pretends to be stuck in a gutter with dirty water, and applicants must help him without dirtying their clothes. Soiling their clothes results in immediate failure and ejection from the school premises.
At the family interview, the families are interviewed by three teachers, who are also dormitory housemasters. As Eden is focused on family values, families will be asked certain questions depending on their circumstances. In the case of families that have remarried, interviewers will present the parents with questions regarding how they met. The parents will be asked questions about themselves and their child, their reasons for enrolling their child, and parenting styles. The child is then asked about their hobbies, goals at Eden Academy, and their parents. The applicants are scored based on how they answered the questions.
=== Results ===
Once the scores are tallied, a list of accepted students is posted in alphanumeric order. Applicants who were not accepted but scored highly are placed on a highly-confidential waiting list. If an accepted student withdraws, the applicant with the highest spot on the waiting list will be offered their spot.

	are demerits given to students who have shown poor grades or misconduct; earning eight results in immediate expulsion. It has been shown that a high-ranking faculty member can lower the amount of Tonitrus Bolts earned from a misdemeanor at their discretion.
=== Dormitory ===
Due to transportation and safety-related concerns, the majority of Eden's students live on campus with their educators. Every hall appears to have a dormitory divided by class year. Each dormitory has a Tutor-in-Residence and Dorm Mother, who organize weekend activities such as trips to the movie theater. Accommodations include telephone access showers and lounges for students to mingle. Students are required to wake up early for morning muster. Offenses such as missing morning muster, untidy clothes, and eating outside of scheduled mealtimes are punished by helping the Dorm Mother with daily chores and being forbidden from leaving the dormitory grounds.
