Enroll at the Academy How it works

Choose your path

Ten wings. Sixty-one professors. One rule that matters: the creature must be a point-of-view or major character — a passing mention never counts.

📖 Three Bingo Boards

Easy (12), Medium (25), or Hard (36) creature prompts — pick your hunt. One book fills one square, and the creature must be a POV or major character.

The semester awaits

Hosted by nexia, Arcadia Academy runs as a seasonal reading challenge: sign up, pick your wing, and read one book per creature prompt. Log each finish in your grimoire and watch your name rise on the leaderboard.

No fees. No gatekeeping. Just books, beasts, and bragging rights.
