The Cliffside

When Chapman Academy was built in the early 1800s, the cliffside was left wide open. There was no wall to protect anyone from falling over the edge. In the early 1900s, the safety of the students was finally questioned, and the wall was built. Despite this, the cliffsides remain a popular 'hangout spot' amongst the students. The wall does not deter the students from spending sunny afternoons and cool evenings by the cliff, watching the waves crash against the rocks.

The Lawn

Acres of beautiful, lush green grass surrounds the school with trees planted randomly about the place, offering shade to the students. A path cuts through the lawn, and splits into a fork towards the back of the school.

The Courtyard

The path to the left of the fork leads to the courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by a small ivory wall, about three feet high. The entrance to the courtyard is an iron gate, the same height as the wall. The courtyard itself is a large space with a fountain in the middle. In the very center of the fountain is a white marble statue of a tiger and a fox, the two animals used to represent the Chapman family and the Amorcya family.

The Gardens

The path to the right of the fork goes slightly downhill, and leads you to the gardens. The temperature cools somewhat when you enter the gardens. Chapman Academy's gardens offer a variety of different plants for everyone. These plants surround a large willow tree that was planted in the very center of the garden when the school first opened. A cobble path winds its way through the garden, taking you to one of the most relaxing places within Chapman Academy - the beautiful waterfall that provides a relaxing atmosphere for both students and teachers alike.

Care of Magical Creatures Shed

This shed is filled with different magical creatures, ranging from harmless to life-threatening, all contained in their own stalls. The shed is used for the students who chose Care of Magical Creatures as a subject. Students are forbidden to enter the shed outside of class time unless accompanied by a professor.

The Broom Shed

A shed filled literally to the roof with a variety of brooms for students to use during their flying classes.

Greenhouse One

A medium sized greenhouse, built for students in their 1st through 3rd years. The plants in this greenhouse are non-dangerous, and the most docile of all the plants.

Greenhouse Two

A slightly larger greenhouse built for students in their 4th through 6th years. The plans in this greenhouse are slightly more dangerous, but still not life threatening.

Greenhouse Three

The largest of the three greenhouses, built for students in their seventh year. The plants in this greenhouse are the most dangerous, and are extremely life threatening if not handled correctly. Students below seventh year are strictly forbidden to enter this greenhouse.

The Entrance

Two large iron doors permit you entrance to Chapman Academy. Once in the Entrance Hall, a large portrait catches your eye. The portrait is of the Chapman and Amorcya families - Headmaster Douglas Chapman with his wife, Karen, and their three children and Minister of Magic Shane Amorcya and his wife, Kathryn, and their two daughters. The portrait is a symbol of how close the two families are, although if one were to look closely, they would notice Gabrielle Amorcya and Ruby Marie Chapman sneaking dirty looks at each other. The entrance itself is made out of different shades of ivory. The walls are a dark white ivory, the floor is a pale white ivory and the staircase is an off white ivory. There are three doors that line the walls of the entrance. The largest of the three doors leads to the Dining Hall. The second largest leads to the Ballroom, and the smallest leads to the Auditorium.

Dining Hall

A large room with three long, rectangular tables - one table for each house. Another rectangular table stands at the very end of the room for the professors and Headmaster. A throne-like chair sits in the very middle of the table for the Headmaster. The room is covered in ceiling to floor windows, providing students with a view of their beautiful grounds. The ceiling is charmed to provide the students with shade whilst still allowing them to enjoy the sunny days. The glass of the Dining Hall is charmed against any cracking and breakage.

Kitchen

The kitchen is the busiest part of the school. House elves run around in here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, preparing meals and snacks for the students. Students are forbidden to enter the kitchen unless accompanied by a professor.

Ballroom

The Ballroom can be accessed through the second-largest door in the Entrance. The Ballroom is a large room with a polished wooden dancefloor towards the front, and a carpeted area at the back. The carpeted area is covered with white marble circular tables and matching chairs - four chairs per table. Somehow, the Ballroom is big enough to fit every student and every professor. At the very front of the room there is a stage where the live performance plays during dances and balls.

Auditorium

The smallest door in the Entrance leads to the Auditorium. The auditorium is used for school assemblies and presentations, and can seat up to 1000 people. The red velvet seats of the auditorium all face a large stage at the front of the room. In the middle of the stage is a podium with the Chapman Academy crest on it. The Headmaster stands behind this podium when addressing the school.

The bottom floor is the books that all students have access to. The shelves of the Chapman Academy library are stalked by the librarian who takes pride in keeping her books in the perfect condition.
