Ilion
A castle. The world inside it is virtual.
Explore the Castle

One gate. Dozens of rooms.

Every visit to Ilion starts at the same hub. From there, the castle opens outward into rooms built for a purpose — a lesson, a performance, a screening — not just decoration.

The Hub

Where every visit begins.

A great hall at the center of the castle, always the same, always the way back. It's where the whole school can gather at once, and where every path outward starts.

Whatever else changes as new rooms are added, the hub is home base.

Beyond the Hub

Rooms built for a purpose.

Some are for gathering. Some are for a single lesson, built to match exactly what's being taught in them.

Movie Theater

A shared screen, built for watching something together — a film, a school broadcast, a story told at the same time to everyone in the room.

Concert Hall

A stage for live performance and events — see the Events & Culture page for what's planned there.

A Viking Coastline

A history lesson doesn't happen in front of a picture of a Viking village — it happens inside one, built to match the lesson it holds.

More Rooms, Growing

The castle is still being built out room by room. Each new one gets added for a specific lesson or purpose, not just to make the map bigger.

In the Antique, Not In Front of It

The setting is the lesson, not a backdrop to it.

A Viking-history class taught inside a Viking coastline changes what a lesson can ask of a student — not "what did you read," but "what did you notice, standing here." That's the idea behind every room off the corridor: put the subject around the student, not on a slide in front of them.

The Movie Theater and Concert Hall are where Ilion's cultural mission plays out.
