Beifong Metalbending Academy

The Beifong Metalbending Academy was founded by Toph Beifong shortly after the conclusion of the Hundred Year War. It was located near the city of Yu Dao, a Fire Nation colony, in the western Earth Kingdom.

History
About a year after the end of the Hundred Year War, Toph founded this academy in order to pass on the art of metalbending, which she had developed after being captured by Master Yu and Xin Fu. At the point of the crisis in Yu Dao, it seemed the academy hadn't been open for very long, as Sokka seemed to have only recently heard of its existence and Toph had only three students: a lanky and dark-haired boy who called himself The Dark One, a very rotund boy obsessed with 'doom' named Ho Tun, and a little girl named Penga.

Layout
The academy was a fairly small rectangular building located on a mountain outside of Yu Dao and reached by a long series of steps. It was made out of wood, painted white, and had green roof tiles and paper windows. It seemed to have about four rooms, each with a window looking out towards the city. From the academy, it was possible to see the gates of Yu Dao.
