Beifong Metalbending Academy

The Beifong Metalbending Academy was a bending academy founded by Toph Bei Fong 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 war, Toph founded an academy in order to pass on the art of Metalbending, which she had developed when 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 - two boys, one lanky and dark-haired, the other very rotund, and a little girl.

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.
