Schossi Academy
Markus von Schossi established a school for orphaned boys called the Schossi Academy in his hometown of Ischendor on 28 September 1909, funded by his thriving business. According to official company legend, he took the decision to open the school after the death of his first son; some unofficial sources allege that he planned to adopt a male heir from amongst the top-performing boys at the academy. The Schossi family's lack of male children became the subject of intense national speculation after Markus was ennobled, driven by the rise of print magazines and newspapers, so much so that the family was called the first "celebrity dynasty." Long after the school's founding however Markus bore a son and heir who would inherit the company. Nonetheless, an persists that the son was secretly adopted from amongst the academy's boys, though the family fiercely denies such rumors.

Today the Schossi Academy is a prestigious  for boys, providing both primary and secondary education and preparing students to enter the Zusian university system. Fully two-thirds of the Academy's students pay no tuition as part of a scholarship program devised by Markus von Schossi, who was raised working class. Many of the company's managers and executive officers have been graduates of the Academy.
