Grand Academy

The Grand Academy of New Haven is the most prestigious academic institution of magic in Tyrrus, and potentially the world. Aspiring magic students from across the world fight for places at the Grand Academy. It is located in the Peaks of New Haven, atop the floating stones that are a hallmark of the city. It is one of the city's most important and recognisable landmarks.

## Education Structure

### Entry

Throughout the month of Springward, the Grand Academy opens its doors to new potential students. Though officially entries are closed at the end of Springward, late entries can still apply until the 12th of Crownward, which is the end of Summer Festival.

The Grand Academy accepts students of 18 years and above (though it has made exceptions). Previous education is desired, though not required if students show the necessary aptitude. Entry is determined by an exam, followed by practical interviews with each potential student. Those who do not show the necessary skill or knowledge are turned away, though the exact entry requirements are malleable, and seemingly determined on a whim by the magisters. Often, a student who is simply interesting enough is accepted.

Entry usually requires a tuition fee of 1,000 Crowns per year. However, students who show remarkable promise are often offered Scholarships, allowing them to study at the academy for free.

The Grand Academy is partnered with many other schools of magic across the world, and often engages in student exchanges, in the hopes of learning from other nations and mutually distributing knowledge.

### Levels

Students at the Grand Academy go through what are known as "Levels of Education", which determine how far long their education is, and how much left they have to learn. There are four levels, each of which gets progressively harder, and contains more advanced knowledge. Students pass on to the next level of study by passing an aptitude exam, which are held twice a year.

## Foreign Partnerships

The Grand Academy is currently partnered with the University of Telmont, the Great Library of Ao Mizhao, The Chamber of Candles in Vanh-Gu-Shei, the Temple of Runes in Vaik'Kai, the Academy at Izero, and the Hall of Erudition in the Otherworld.
