Whirlpool Academy

During Peace and War time students always start at age six and go to age twelve. The only exceptions is if enough students pass early graduation or if the Uzokage approves an apprenticeship.

The Academy's primary focus is to teach civilians the required skills to become genin. Its secondary focus is to provide Special Classes for registered ninjas. These classes are to provide further instruction on general fields as well as teach special skills like kenjutsu. It is also mandatory for ninja to take certain extra classes to qualify for a promotion. All jonin must teach at least six months of Special classes. During War time Special Classes would be sporadic if not eventually discontinued for the duration.

Academy Student Classes
The only grades are the monthly evaluations and final exams. These are used for class placement. The final exams and graduation exams are done by three random jonin or chunin.
