Arcadia Oaks High

“*A lot of the story takes place in the school, so we needed it to be a versatile set where you could shift from emotional scenes to a big action set piece. We designed it with an open courtyard in the middle to have timeless quality and to bring natural light so it would contrast with the darker troll caves that our heroes would visit on their journey.*”
―Rodrigo Blaas, Executive Producer[src]

## History

### Trollhunters (Part One)

The High school is first seen in Becoming Part: 1, where Jim was seen staring at Claire during History with Mr. Strickler, where they were learning about the Peloponnesian war.

### 3Below (Part One)

Aja and Krel were enrolled as “Exchange Students” with papers forged by Stuart.

### Wizards

In "Wizard Underground", flying debris from the flying castle of Camelot falls from the sky and smashes into the high school, destroying it.

### Rise of the Titans

A year later, the school is still being rebuilt from its destruction, so the students have to leave the building for a field trip instead of attending class.

Arcadia Oaks High has a very odd schedule. At different times Jim has had World History, Spanish, and Algebra as his first class of the day.

## Notable People

“*We approached designing characters with a minimalist shape-language, very much spearheaded by Headless Animation Studio's designs. We wanted to incorporate Guillermo del Toro's and Rodrigo Blaas's taste for organic enriched characters who felt appealing and genuine.*”
