The school draws students from all over the realms to its campus in Suzail.  There is no tuition, so placement is granted based on merit alone.  Preference is given to Good (preferably LG) students with exceptional physical potential.  The facilities were generously provided by the Cormaeril family, and every effort is being made to ensure the school is ready to open (for the initial intake only) in the fall.  Teachers and trainers are provided by the three supporting churches.

Each year a new group of 150+ Candidates (200 on initial intake) are added depending on available seats and quality of prospects.  After a full year of training, the expectation is that (an estimated) half would advance in their studies, a quarter would be gracefully dismissed and a quarter would repeat their initial training (being given the extra year to mature). 

The roughly 100 Cadets are trained extensively in overall fitness, riding, reading and religion. Of these, 60-65 are expected to proceed to the status of Page, with a few being asked to continue on as cadets for one more year.

Following their promotion they are now able to accompany to the Order on the summer campaign, serving as Pages to the Knights of the Order Argus.  Depending on whether their path is already clear some may opt to assist the Order priests instead.

Throughout their 2 years of training as a Page it should begin to become clear where their futures lie.  Whether as a Paladin, Specialty Priest, Priest or Warrior, their training will start to focus on the more specific skillsets of their vocation.  Once again all pages will participate in the summer campaign; from those roughly 40 will be chosen to begin their next year as Squires.

They will remain squires until they are prepared to graduate, but it is unlikely that their training will extend beyond two years as a Squire.  So the fastest that the Academy could graduate a student is five years and the slowest is eight years, but average is a little over six years.
