Sanctuary Academy

Sanctuary Academy is a combat school, located in the southern reaches of Menagerie, in the fortress city of Fimbulgren

Like Beacon, Sanctuary is dedicated to bringing up the best hunters it can, but its curriculum is quite different, classes are provided, but not required, grades are given on mission performance and combat tournaments, rather than written tests. The main focus at Sanctuary is simply to grow, in body, mind and soul, and become the best hunter you can.

While no means is the academy as grand or impressive as Beacon, it is still a fairly well accepted place of learning, though graduates are often treated as brutes or ruffians, as they are rarely as academically trained as most hunters.

History:
Founded by Aurora Vetrborne's family generations ago, the school was initially founded to train warriors, fighters, and other students of war. As such, it has extensive combat facilities and training area. After the Faunus Civil War, Aurora's father did a major overhaul of the academy, turning it into a place to train hunters rather than killers, as well as enacting laws and rules against discrimination between Faunus and Man, one of the first in the world to do so. The school has since been a home to many students from all over the world, Faunus and Human alike.

Age Group:
Sanctuary's minimum entrance age is seventeen, Students graduate at the age of 21.

Initiation:
Some would call Sanctuary's Initiation process...extreme, for a school dedicated to self improvement. But the idea of it is to find an applicants absolute breaking point, and judge them from that point on, keeping in mind that rarely would an applicant actually be denied entry into the academy based on their initiation performance. aspiring students are lead into the surrounding wilderness, accompanied closely by teachers, and are told to hunt, track, and slay grimm until they can no longer physically do so. If an applicant can no longer fight, they are protected by a teacher and returned to a safe place until after the process has finished for all applicants. students are graded on what they managed to bring down, their survival skills, their ability to work in a team (provided they happened upon other students), and their overall abilities.

Students are then placed with other students into teams, based on the grades given by the initiation, usually placed together so that weaker students are placed into teams with stronger allies that will aid them in their growth.

Classes:
For the most part, Academic courses, such as mathematics, language arts and history, Are taught by Autumn Skyfire, while the combat classes and sparring are handled by Gastohn Grizzly.

While classes are provided, they are by no means required. All students are graded based on their mission performance, as well as their overall combat ability, judged at the end of each month in a in school tournament. Additionally, teams are also tested at the end of each semester (3 month span), in a larger team tournament.

In other words, if students feel their days would be better spent out in the training yard or in the city working, they are by all means encouraged to do so.
