| ~ Bloons TD 6 description[1] |
Unused portrait artwork of the Monkey Academy’s 0-0-1 upgrade; did not appear in BTD6's files until Version 36.0 for unknown reasons
The Monkey Academy is an unreleased support tower found in the game files of Bloons TD 6. It was extracted as a decompilation of the game in the earliest versions of BTD6.
In June 2021, the Monkey Academy was mentioned in a Ninja Kiwi Reddit post. When asked about its upgrades and the idea of it being a Military, Magic, and Hero equivalent to Primary Expertise, Sav and Tarn answered, "It was part of the original design but it's not part of our current thinking. What our current thinking is shall remain a surprise..."
The first upgrade portrait specific to the Monkey Academy was found in the Version 36.0 game files, which was added for an unknown reason. It was marked as for the 0-0-1 upgrade “Private Tuitions”, but no sign for the base tower was found.

Trivia[]
- Concepts of the Monkey Academy were not entirely scrapped. With the introduction of Mermonkey, two upgrades take inspiration from Monkey Academy.
- Echosense Network upgrade for the Mermonkey involves stackable range-boosting of same crosspath Mermonkeys, just like Academy Network for the Monkey Academy.
- The Final Harmonic upgrade for the Mermonkey has a functionality that reduces ability cooldowns of all nearby Heroes, just like the Heroic Academy upgrade for the Monkey Academy.
