Welcome to the Imperial Academy of Service!
The Academy is a five-year course of instruction to prepare young Royals to rise victorious over life’s adversities to nobly champion peace and charity for all their lives. Applicants to the Academy are welcomed!
Synopsis of the Imperial Academy of Service:
The Imperial Academy of Service is the training institution for young Royals to achieve Imperial titles as Principals of the Empire of Earth. It takes approximately five years to train an Imperial Princess or Prince to be able to assume the duties of a responsible participant in our organization.
At the Academy, young Royals (age 10 and up) will be trained to correctly think, act, and speak. They will learn courtesy and comportment. They will learn personal health and care skills. The Academy will facilitate the learning of First Aid, CPR/AED, Fire Safety, and other important life skills. They will learn financial responsibility and noblesse oblige (as well as advanced vocabulary skills). They will learn leadership skills and group dynamics. They will learn about virtue and honor and perseverance and courage and all the good and noble things that is a child’s natural inheritance for adulthood.
Upon graduation they will be recognized as full Imperial Principals of the Empire of Man. This association is free and lifelong. As Imperial Prince or Imperial Princess your child will be a full voting member in the Empire of Man debating and deciding policy, allocating charitable funds, choosing office holders, and acting to forward the condition of all the people of Earth.
Even more important than these future Imperials are the first of the Royals, for they’ll set the pattern for the Empire to come. It is these young Royals who will determine the initial rules of Imperial service, set the standards of excellence, and forge the chains of friendship and leadership that can only grow with time into a great Empire. So if your child is of high destiny I ask that you consider allowing your child to be one of the Royals of the Empire.
There is a reasonable cost for this learning which can be paid as a single tuition or divided into yearly apportionments. Payment plans are available as well as tuition deductions for families with economic hardships. A significant portion (20% or more) of all tuition costs is used by the Imperial Academy of Service to fund charitable giving. In return you will receive thoughts and ideas that will inspire a child to excel, to achieve high honors, and to befriend other positive young adults; and eventually to be a happy and successful adult in later years delivering to grateful parents the lovely grandchildren that they so richly deserve.
The Imperial Academy of Service Yearly Curriculum
The following list of classes and courses is tentative and subject to change. Royals must first past the Academy’s Entrance Examination before they are allowed to enroll in formal classes, but their ultimate ranking in the Empire is dependent on both their achievements and their date of entry into the academy.
Royals of equal rank determine seniority by date of entry to the Academy. The courses are self-paced so it is possible to complete curriculum in less than five years if the Royal properly applies themself to the task. Graduates of the Academy become Imperial Principles.
The messenger is for the neophyte where the tasks allow the new Royal to learn the duties and responsibilities they will come to master and command, so the color of the messenger is white, a symbol of peace; it’s symbol, Wings, represents the spirit of the position as that the dove of peace, along with the traditional symbology of Hermes the Messenger of the Gods.
