Nestled within Macan Tutul’s lush forestry past the wooden village of Omah Geni lies the main foundations of the magical school, Tenūsa. Overgrown structures of stone and wood laid bare to the natural world find themselves covered almost entirely in vegetation. Yet while some may view such a place as a ruin of ancient times or dilapidated beyond repair, the reality could not be further from the truth. While the island's nature weaves between the foundations and seemingly engulfs the school, it is actually a form of reinforcement and was taken as a sign by the founders of the school that the magic of the Isle, which they had created, was claiming the school as an extension of itself.

One of Tenūsa's founding principles revolves around the conservation and cultivation of the island and magic that has protected them so the school being claimed by the island was an extension of that principle. While the exterior hosts trees and moss, the island never encroaches into the school itself without the will of a dukun or shaman though many allow for this, and as such, classrooms often have patches of natural flora decorating the space. Much like most other wizarding schools, the educational buildings themselves consist of a number of facilities dedicated to particular subjects and even the facilitation of standardized exams where necessary. However, unlike the wider world, Tenūsa is not made up of one large school but more a collected pocket of these structures filtered both in the village of Omah Geni and deeper into the vast jungle. Educational structures are found where they may best reflect and convey the dedicated subject most effectively, like the observatory that is built high above the treetops for astronomy.

There is, however, still a large structure on the outskirts of Omah Geni that one might consider the primary school building, consisting of the dormitories, some regular classrooms for study and apprenticeships, a library and the hall where meals are held. Within the stone foundations students are granted all of the magical basics one could expect like cooling and heating charms keeping the open halls and chambers regulated. At the top of the largest tiered tower you would also find the Grand Seer’s office. The dormitories are populated by students, but there is no staunch requirement that those attending Tenūsa must board; in fact, some will continue to live in Omah Geni with their families, or other relatives who live within the village, while attending to their apprenticeship. Unfortunately for muggleborn and half-blood students, there are strict prohibitions on non-magical habitation of the island, even where those muggles are familiar with the magical world.

While students who come to apprentice, before their time as pewari begins, make use of the standardised educational resources provided, dukuns often choose a separate approach that is specialised to both their own talents and those of their pewari. Dukun will often take students around the island in the course of their education, and in so long as they conform to the academic standards set by the headmaster and other administrators, they are given broad discretion in how they teach. The bond between these two is the sacred foundation that the school is based upon, believing that one on one education is paramount and that a teacher is not merely an educator but a spiritual guide for their younger pewari.
