Dedede Academy (also referred to as eNeMeE Academy[1]) is a schoolhouse built by King Dedede using a school building kit from Night Mare Enterprises which appears in the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. It is the principal setting of three episodes: eNeMeE Elementary, The School Scam, and Teacher's Threat.

Description

Hi! I'd like to welcome you to the Dedede Academy: Cappy Town's best - scratch that - only educational institution, where children will learn the three Ds: Discipline, Discipline, and Discipline! You'll receive a handy coupon for the purchase of textbooks, notebooks, and some snazzy up-to-the-minute pencil holders!

The Dedede Academy is a moderately-sized schoolhouse with a red roof and a bell with King Dedede's face emblazoned on it. Next to the schoolhouse itself is a tall watch tower which is used for bungee jumping in gym class. In the back is a square dirt field which has giant retractable electric fences used to keep the kids in during classes. These elements serve to make the academy resemble a prison. Inside the school, there are a number of hallways and a single classroom with twenty five desks for students, a desk for the instructor, and a chalkboard. Hanging over the chalkboard is a portrait of King Dedede wearing his principal's robe.

The Dedede Academy is used as the setting for three episodes: those being eNeMeE Elementary, The School Scam, and Teacher's Threat. In each one, the school ends up being destroyed when Kirby defeats the monster in that particular episode, and needs to be rebuilt for its next appearance.
