Academy of the Arts was founded by the legendary Anastasia and Thomas Tremble in 1872. They founded the Academy and only allowed students with exceptional talent in the Arts- sports, writing, playing music, acting, singing, dancing, and drawing. Those seven talents were divided up into five groups- musician, athlete, theater, writer, drawing, sculpturing, and other drawing activities. Over time, two more groups formed; the elite and the inferior. After Anastasia and Thomas died, their daughter Ashley took over the academy- and this continues on. The Tremble family's children always attend the Academy, and their children are always the Elite. When they grow up, they always take over the spot of the Headmaster. First code word is sweet. Academy of the Arts focuses mainly on the student's special talent, however they also are very good at their academics. They are encouraged to try other activities as well. For example, a Athlete is strongly encouraged to what a Musician, Theater, Writer, and Artist does. This goes for any of the other cliques as well. Academy of the Arts has had attendance for over 100 years, and only the best of the talented artistic students may attend. This school has the regular school year, however most of the students stay for the summer as well. In the summer, the students do not have any academic classes, but they continue to attend their art class. Each year, over 20,000 applications for incoming freshmen are sent in, but only 200 freshmen get in every year. Demand is high for limited space.
