Royal Gaplastovian Academy

The Royal Gaplastovian Academy (officially the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, Gaplastovia) is planned to be a division of the Danubian University of Gaplastovia. It will be Gapla’s flagship secondary school, with students scoring at or above the 95th percentile in academic achievement* encouraged to apply.

The Academy is currently open as an online school only. Admissions are conducted on a rolling basis, and the current average acceptance rate is 29.2%.

*Based on a representative sample of the western world. Admissions tests such as the ISEE, SSAT, or ISEB will have lower cutoffs (~90th) due to their standardization samples.

Vision for the RGA

The Royal Gaplastovian Academy’s vision is to become a highly selective, academically rigorous institution for intellectual risk takers.

Modeled after elite secondary schools in the United States and internationally such as Phillips Exeter Academy, the Royal Gaplastovian Academy’s goal will be to develop the next generation of the Federated States of Gapla’s leaders.

  • Our classrooms will have discussions, not lectures. We’ll analyze literature and solve problems, not read from textbooks. We believe that the most effective learning happens through discussions, where students learn the underlying principles of the concept’s discovery in meaningful, instructor-guided conversations with their peers. Rather than memorization of facts and formulas, we promote critical thinking and greater depth.
  • Our curriculum will be modern, efficient, and individualized. Traditional education repeats concepts through different curricula and tries to fit all students into one curriculum. Instead, we believe in placing both by achievement and by ability, recognizing that intellectually gifted, typical, and disabled students have very different learning needs, and that one size fits no one.
