| Darkley's students | Wu's Academy students |
The Wu's Academy's students were the students that attended Wu's Academy during its time in operation. Some of them had previously been students at Darkley's, an establishment designed to educate children in villainy.
History[]
Rebooted[]
The Surge[]
Renamed "Wu's Academy", Darkley's now includes new students and is taught by Wu, Nya, and the ninja, though the students hardly respect them. When the school gains clearance for a field trip, the students are taken to New Ninjago City to visit Borg Tower.
The students are amazed at Borg Industries' futuristic technology, and the female students suggest Nya checks the Perfect Match console but are shocked when it states that Nya's perfect match is Cole rather than Jay.
When the Digital Overlord takes over the tower, Nya and Wu help evacuate the students. They escape the city in Zane's NinjaCopter and are brought back to Wu's Academy, where they are put under the supervision of Dareth for the time being.
The Curse of the Golden Master[]
Dareth takes the students to the Ninjago City Aquarium. While the students observe the Electro-Cobrai exhibit, a cloaked stranger arrives, shattering the tank to obtain the Electro-Cobrai. Dareth uses his animal fighting styles to fend off a shark and save the students.
The Titanium Ninja[]
When the Golden Master was causing destruction in Ninjago City, one of Wu's Academy's students ran for cover.
A few students attended Zane's memorial after the Ninja of Ice sacrificed himself to defeat the Golden Master.

Trivia[]
An example of the Hogwarts school uniform
- Like Darkley's, the students' uniforms are based on the Harry Potter Hogwarts school uniforms, specifically the 2010 variant.
- The named students collectively have three voice actors: Brad, Gene, and Marla are voiced by Kathleen Barr; Lloyd and Sally are voiced by Jillian Michaels, and Tommy is voiced by Vincent Tong. An unnamed student is voiced by Lee Tockar in "The Curse of the Golden Master," and another is voiced by Alan Marriott in "Infamous," credited as "Boy Fan".
- The students have a variety of hairstyles:
- A few Wu's Academy students use hairstyles from major Star Wars characters, those being Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi (altered The Clone Wars version), and Luke Skywalker.
- Other students use the respective hairstyles from Paradisa characters, Irina Spalko from Indiana Jones, Dastan from Prince of Persia, and the Librarian from Minifigures Series 10.
- In Wu's Academy, the male students were known to have a crush on Nya, as indicated by Nya's line in "The Surge," "Why is that when I teach, I get the feeling that none of the boys are listening?"
- According to Tommy Andreasen, the school was closed down after Nindroid crisis due to the students' endangerment.[1] However, it was open in A Team Divided, which takes place after the Nindroid crisis. Seeing as the students continued wearing their uniforms throughout the following seasons, it can be assumed that the school did remain open, at least for some time.
- Sally is the only student to appear in minifigure form, though her appearance is in a movie set.
