Vikholm Academy

Established in 1847, Vikholm Academy sits on the beautiful island of Vikholm. The campus centers around a gorgeous 1600s manor that was generously donated by the royal family to the Educational Prestige Council, who transformed it into an elite academy— a place for the rich and elite to study without having to worry about being bothered.The campus itself includes the main manor building, North and West Wings. The magnificent Aquatic Center features swimming pools, diving platforms, and private spa facilities. Adjacent to the Aquatic Center stands the professional-grade Stadium, while the prestigious Stables are positioned in a picturesque location just a short walk from the main athletic facilities.If attending Vikholm Academy, you'll stay in luxury dormitory suites with options for rooms of 2, 3, or 4 students. Each suite comes with premium furnishings, a fully-stocked refrigerator, and a private marble bathroom. Special accommodation sections exist for students seeking enhanced privacy features, with soundproofing technology and additional security measures.When not studying, Vikholm town has plenty to offer - exclusive cafés, fine dining restaurants, and boutique shops for discerning tastes. The private ferry runs twice daily to Nordfolk on the mainland, where an exceptional selection of luxury shopping, cultural entertainment, and sophisticated nightlife options are available.

Vikholm Manor was built in the late 1600s as a royal retreat, serving as a summer residence for the monarchy for over two centuries. The magnificent estate, was a symbol of royal privilege and refinement.In 1847, in an act of appreciation toward education, the royal family donated the entire estate to the Educational Prestige Council. This esteemed council transformed the royal estate into a sanctuary of learning for the children of nobility and the upper elite of society.

The council's vision was revolutionary yet exclusive: to create an educational institution that would prepare the children of the most influential families for positions of leadership and power. They sought to combine classical education with modern innovations, all within an environment that reinforced the students' elite status.As the centuries passed, Vikholm Academy has preserved its founding principles while adapting to changing times. The academy remains steadfastly committed to educating the elite.
