Pokémon Academy

The Pokémon Academy (Japanese:) is a school located in Harmonyville.
==In the series==
The Pokémon Academy is the oldest school in Zinta, and is located in the region's largest city, Harmonyville. It hosts classes which mostly relate to Pokémon and friendship. The school is attended by people from various places across a wide range of age groups. Children and adults study in the same classes together; some classes are attended with Pokémon as well.
In Pokémon Friendship, seven years after their arrival at Zinta, Kimberly, Garry, Ryan and Liam enroll at the academy, and meet the other main characters as fellow students. Clavell assigns to them the independent study project, the Treasure Hunt.

==Courses==
Classes normally include magic, friendship, and all other kinds of stuff. Overall, there are four courses that one can take:
*Regular course - This is the average kind of course one would take in an ordinary school. Default classes include math, history, languages, fashion (only if someone wishes to become a designer), home economics, physical education, science, art, music, battle studies and health.
*Business course - The perfect course for those who want to grow up to be a businessman/woman.
*Performing course - A great course for those who want to be on stage and/or have a fondness for music. Students tend to be actors, Performance Coordinators (yes, the Pokémon classes "Coordinator" and "Performer" are combined in this series), idols, band members, and more.
*Vocational course - If the others won't do, one can instead take this course. Examples of jobs students take on when they graduate are firefighters, police officers, nurses and doctors.
Notably, Kimberly, Nova, Liko and Molly (all from the anime) are the only known students to not take any of these four courses, instead having a specialized course for autistic kids like them.
==Trivia==
===Origin===
The anime version of the Pokémon Academy appears to be based on the Sagrada Familia, a historic church in Barcelona, Spain.
