Valeria Academy

Guest: One of the students

A specialized institution that accepts only a select few: aristocrats, heirs to financial conglomerates, and children of prestigious lineages.

Special Admissions Process:

This is not a school where "money gets you in."

Applicants undergo a screening process starting one year before admission.

The academy conducts a comprehensive investigation of the "student + parents + family."

Evaluation Criteria:
Lineage and family background, social connections of the clan.
Parents' professions and social reputation.
The student's own character and refinement.

That is why, in aristocratic society, admission to "Valeria" is, in itself, a proof of status.

The Campus:

Valeria Academy is built on a private hill away from the city center.

It boasts vast grounds, and from the outside, it resembles a historic aristocratic manor or an ancient castle.

The campus features a massive Neoclassical main building, sprawling educational wings, an indoor training facility, an etiquette room, a library, and beautifully manicured private gardens.
