'''Opelucid Academy''' (Japanese: '''ソウリュウ学園''' ''{{tt|Soryu|Opelucid}} Academy'') is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive boarding school in [[Unova]], located in [[Opelucid City]]. {{an|Iris}} attended the school prior to ''{{aniseries|BW}}''. 

== Overview ==
To enter Opelucid Academy, a potential student must be handpicked by [[Drayden]], the school's President and [[Opelucid City]]'s [[Gym Leader]], to attend. The Academy's subjects cover aspects of the {{pkmn|world}}, the basics of {{pkmn|battling}}, and also how {{i|Poké Ball}}s operate.

== History ==
=== Background ===
At some point prior to her {{pkmn|journey}}, {{an|Iris}} was handpicked by {{ci|Opelucid}}'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Drayden]] to attend the school that Drayden himself acts as headmaster. These were very difficult times for Iris, though. She struggled in school, failed to make any friends or interact with any of the other students at the academy, and also didn't feel compatible with the urban city life. Eventually, after losing a battle at school, Iris could not stand this life anymore and dropped out, returning to the [[Village of Dragons]].

=== {{aniseries|BW}} ===
In ''[[BW101|Drayden Versus Iris: Past, Present, and Future!]]'', Iris returned to Opelucid Academy alongside {{Ash}} and {{an|Cilan}} due to Ash's desire to challenge Drayden at the [[Opelucid Gym]]. When they arrived, Iris met with her old dorm advisor [[Martha]] and showed Ash and Cilan around the academy, including her old dormitory. 

== Locations ==
'''Classrooms''': The academy has a large number of classrooms for different curriculums.

'''Battlefield''': Battlefields are available for students to use to practice their {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. In a flashback in ''[[BW101|Drayden Versus Iris: Past, Present, and Future!]]'', Iris was seen battling with a {{p|Fraxure}} against another student's {{p|Altaria}}. 

'''Cafeteria''': The academy has a cafeteria for their students to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

'''Dorms''': The academy has a doom room for their students, apparently for only a singular student to reside in. 

'''Courtyard''': The academy has a large courtyard located in a space in-between the dormitories, complete with a fountain.
