Which reminds me, do we have an article on Education in Fenspace yet?
Places I can think of that would need mentioning...
Grover's Corners Elementary
Senshi Academy
Hogwarts
Starfleet Academy
Some arrangement with Australian university systems?
Apprentice System - how a lot of things get taught in Fenspace. You find someone who knows what you want to know, and convince them, usually through begging, grovelling, and a suitable offer of funds, goods, and/or services, to teach you. Well-known instances include The Professor, who has been known to take a student or two, and Candy Apple Red's, whose trade involves things that one does not ordinarily study in the classroom.
Ryokuro Academy - begun in 2007 as a short series of training classes offered by Rockhounds, Inc., to prospective asteroid miners. Primary materials covered were orbital mechanics, electronics maintenance, first aid, and geology. As the population of Greenwood Station increased, more and more courses were added to the list. By 2012 a wide variety of training options are available, equivalent to a full Earthside B.S.-level college education in fields including Electrical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering, Computer Sciences, Astronautics, Contract Law, Medicine, Food Service, and of course Geology. The Academy is accredited by the State of New York to award degrees recognized 'Daneside, and has (starting in the spring of 2013) arrangements with schools in New York, California, Texas, Florida, Virginia, Australia, and Japan to offer a "semester in space" program for adventurous fendanes.--
