Emerald Hill Academy (Institution)

*This is for the building and school. For the story itself, click here.*

Emerald Hill Academy is a large educational institution situated within Emerald Hill Zone. It is the main setting of the story and the primary location. It was founded by current headmaster Mammoth Mogul.

## Description and Structure

Emerald Hill Academy is similar to a lot of old famous educational centres. The walls are made from mossy bricks with white roofs. All of the windows are double-glazed. The entrance to the school has a long walkway surrounded by trees that blossom with cherry blossom in the spring, and produce much leaf-fall in the autumn. The path itself is made from cobblestone. As one goes inside, the walls are a sheen brown with a cream tile flooring. The hall is large with a similar design, though the floor becomes wood, as the hall doubles as the gym. At the front, there is a large stage with lights above it.

There are many corridors that lead to classrooms. Emerald Hill Academy has 5 homeroom classes for 5 year groups, as the population size is small due to extensive measures regarding entrance. The exams for the school are very difficult, and grades are used to determine a student's future. Low grades mean extra classes as well as less freedom to do extra-curricular activities. Classes tend to be close together if they link. For instance, Biology, Physics and Chemistry classes are in close proximity to each other, as is the gym and dance studio. Cookery, Art and Music are also close together, as are the Language classrooms.

The school has a large recess area, alongside a large field used for team sports such as cricket, football and rugby. The school also has an indoor swimming pool, a second gym with courts for tennis and badminton, as well as an astro turf for hockey. Additionally, they have a running track and training area for other athletic sports such as the high jump and hurdles. The school has 3 basketball courts, used for that sport and netball.

As the school is a private boarding school, each year group have their own dormitories within the school. They are situated over the road from the school. These buildings are almost like small hotels. Each dormitory contains a bedroom for each student, which is bunked. They also have their own lounge, complete with kitchen and relaxation area, private spa and video game room. Students are free to buy their own food and prepare it how they wish, though the school does have a complete cafeteria near the Cookery classroom.

## Students

Emerald Hill Academy has a student population of 180. These are split equally over the five year groups and by gender, equalling 36 in each year group, with 18 of each gender. Genders are allowed to mix within the dorms.
