Endiron School
Eastgate is justly renowned for its many children’s academies, of which the Endiron School is one of the oldest and most famous. Founded by the Endiron noble family, the school’s motto uses its name as a play on words: the stated purpose of the school and its endowment was “to foster a world of understanding between peoples and nations, so that the students might put an end to iron as the answer to their disagreements.” To facilitate this goal, the Endiron school emphasizes languages—every child is expected to be reasonably fluent in at least two other languages by graduation—and encourages learning from other cultures. Educators often invite speakers to discuss their homelands, share traditions, and bring foods for the children to sample. This background has helped a number of Endiron students become impressive diplomats, merchants, and other agents of cross-cultural understanding.
The school’s reputation is such that families from much wealthier districts, and even foreign dignitaries, often try to enroll their children in the Endiron School. The school’s headmasters have always reserved most of the spaces for Eastgate’s children, who pay nearly nothing, but charge exorbitant tuition to accept outside students. Up to a quarter of each class is comprised of paying pupils who subsidize the education of Eastgaters.
