Leo Institute of Dueling

The Leo Institute of Dueling (often abbreviated as the Leo Institute or as LID), known as Leo Duel School (レオ・デュエル・スクール Reo Dyueru Sukūru) and often abbreviated as LDS (Eru Dī Esu) in the Japanese version, is a preparatory Duel school in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. It is located in Paradise City and owned by the Leo Corporation. It is considered to be the most prestigious of the Duel schools.[1] The school offers courses for Fusion Summoning, Synchro Summoning and Xyz Summoning.[2] Declan Akaba also wants to include Pendulum Summoning in the curriculum. The school is currently headed by Henrietta Akaba.
