Mouseford Academy is a prestigious college located on Whale Island, to which Nicky, Colette, Violet, Paulina and Pamela (the Thea Sisters), and Ruby Flashyfur go to. Thea Stilton has been known to study there as well.
History[]
The building was originally constructed by the Vikings when they landed on Whale Island in the Viking Age. When the Academy was first built, it was a castle for the nobility to live in. The castle was then repurposed into Mouseford Academy six hundred years prior to the Thea Sisters’ enrollment there.
Campus[]
The Academy is very big and spacious, having a lot of used as well as unused rooms that students can use for a lot of space for extracurricular activities or even just for recreation. It is a remodeled castle built centuries ago, with entire sections reserved for dorms, teachers' quarters, classrooms, a cafeteria, two gardens, a library, the headmaster's office, and a track and field. The two towers on the sides of the castle are purely aesthetic and are a good scenic place for movie crews to film at, as seen in Lights, Camera, Action!.
