Does Twink Academy deliver what it promises on the outside?
Twink Academy is a fabricated reality themed site about Saint Samuels International Academy for boys. The Academy has three spin-off schools with locations in Columbia, England, and Latvia (well, who knows for sure?) We'll just say you'll get a range of twinks with a fratboy overtone. The tour will give you a general idea of what type of "students" to expect.
What's good about Twink Academy? What needs improvement?
TA gets an A+ for cleverness in theme design and another A+ for theme consistancy.
The navigation of the three schools, the students at each school, the folders on each student with folder tabs for his activities are a disguised navigation for plain old photo and video content, but with plenty of flair.
The photo galleries are quite excellent, ultra crisp. The RealPlayer videos on the other hand, could use a big resolution boost - especially considering that the "spy cam" footages, which are the backbone of the video content, are shot from quite a distance and never pan or zoom.
All in all, I thought that TA is more of flirtatious concept than a site with real quality twink content. You sort of leave tittalated, but still hungry.
How is Twink Academy unique?
Twink Academy is about as unique as a site can get. I commend them on presenting the video in native languages, rather than over-dubbing them with corny musak.
What do paying users recieve for their money?
For 15 Euros for a 1 month "Helping Hands" membership, or 75 Euros for a 6 month "Guardian" membership, you'll get: 58 Columbian students, 14 English students, and 48 Latvian students. That's over 100 models, but not a supersite..
Each student has at least 2 photosets which were universally excellent quality, but with video content varying greatly in quality (depending on date updated) and quantity (depending on how often they used the same model). Some students had very little or very poor video content.
Note that Guardian membership (6 mo. subscription) was necessary to view the medical videos, which were by far the best of the videos. Updates seemed sluggish to me, with content somewhat sparingly doled out in pieces.

"A helping hand to boys in need" is the strapline, an indication that this site has picked a theme and is determined to run with it all the way. Sometimes, that theme does rather get in the way! Read full review

On the outside, St. Samuel's promises to open its doors and give you a look at the surveillance footage of the students enrolled. There are many types of videos to view; physical education, medical care, social education, and disciplinary. Read full review

St. Samuel's International Academy for Boys has added a campus since my last visit. With the opening of a London Academy, it is now possible to track the education progress of scholars from West and Eastern Europe and South America.
Each scholar has a file in which sponsors can read a brief background, read and see photos (and some videos) of a thorough physical exam with special attention focused on sexual development, read files on behavior and any disciplinary actions. Read full review

St. Samuels Academy is a Prep School for deprived and wayward young men, 18-22 years of age, in need of help in health and disciplinary issues. These handsome twinks are featured in both photos and videos. Yes, I think the site delivers what is promised. Read full review
