Class management inLet’s Schoolis an important part of making sure that your students pass their exams and graduate with the chance to go to college. Managing your classes means assuring each students' academic needs are being met, teachers are being trained, and that you’ve done the necessary research to unlock advanced subjects.
Not to mention, the more successful your students are, the more contribution points and money your school will earn. However, it can be tricky to figure out at first, but that’s what we’re here to help you with. We’ve got all the study material you’ll need to manage your classes to ensure that as many of your students as possible pass their exams.
How To Organize Classrooms
At the beginning of the game,you’ll build just one classroomto start out with. But soon you’ll begin getting more student applications from Drakemont, your first community.
To build your classroom,open the radial menu from the left, select the hammer icon, then select classroom, then follow the prompts to build it and place furniture.Don’t forget lights!
Whenever a class takes their exams and moves up a grade, their classroomautomatically changes to the next grade. Grade one rooms become grade two, grade two rooms become grade three. When your grade three classrooms graduate,their classrooms default back to grade oneso that the new grade one students can have a place to go.
During early game, it’s fine to havemaybe three or four rooms total. But once students start graduating, and you unlock other communities, you’ll need to start building at leastone new classroom per new season.
In my main save file, I have three classrooms per grade level at the moment, which comes out to nine classrooms total.
How To Schedule Courses
Simply adding students to classrooms isn’t the end. Now you have toschedule courses based on their academic needs.
Open the radial menu on the left, andselect Schedule (the one with the calendar icon).This will open up the course scheduler where you may see what courses are available, add them to the schedule, andmonitor the students and teachers for each class.
Before you start scheduling courses, the first thing you need to do ischeck the aspirations for the students in that class. In the menu on the right, you’ll see icons that represent each student. Red means they’re estimated to fail, green means they’re estimated to pass.
Hover over one of the student iconsto see more details for that student, including:
The Teaching Proficiency of your teachers for a particular classdoes influence how well your students learn.If you notice that some students are in the red even after rearranging classrooms and courses,check your teachers and see which ones need to train.
Morning Session
When you create a new classroom, the Morning Session will automatically be scheduled for you as aClass Meeting. Whoever you choose as the Homeroom Teacherwill be the Morning Session teacher.
In the beginning, the only Morning Session course is Class Meeting, but as you complete researchyou’ll unlock different options for the Morning Session.
Once they’re all unlocked, the Morning Session options include:
Fundamental Courses
The Fundamental Coursesare your student’s core subjects, but each student will only need two out of the four, so it’s important to pay attention to what each student needs.
The Fundamental Courses include:
After the Morning Session, there arefour periods available for students to learn. Pick up the course from the left-hand side anddrop it into whichever period slotyou want it in.
You need to add enough of that course so that themeter on the student profiles goes over the red line, otherwise they’ll fail.
When you add a course to the schedule, it willautofill the best teacher for the job. you may also click on that course and change the teacher if you wish. It’s a good idea to startrecruiting new teachersas soon as possible, so that the headmaster and Ms. Lin don’t get too stressed out.
In the beginning, theonly two Fundamental Coursesyou’ll have to worry about areHumanities and Sciences. Once you start admitting students from other communities (usually by the second year), you’ll begin receiving applications fromstudents and teachers for the other Fundamentals.
Special Courses
Special Courses are things that can be taught to your studentsalongside the fundamentals. Just drag the Special Course you want andstack it on top of the Fundamental Course.
Special Courses include:
For the period you choose, the students will learn their Fundamental Course as well as the Special Course. For example, if you were to stack Ethics on top of Humanities,they’ll learn slightly less Humanities for that period, but they’ll also learn how to behave better.
How To Get Advanced Courses
When students have finished with the first level of Humanities and Sciences,they’ll be ready for Junior level courses. If you haven’t done the proper research, however, those courses will display on the schedule with a red border and a red lock.
To unlock the next level of courses, you’ll need tobuild a Research roomand assign faculty to that room as researchers.
Then,open your Research chart(from either the left radial menu or by clicking on the room) andgo to the Education tab.
The Junior-level courses research topics will be on the left. Since you can only research one at a time,we recommend starting with Junior Science Course, then Junior Humanities Course, then Junior Art Course and Junior Sports Course.
After the Junior courses, there areIntermediate, Advanced, and Expansion coursesyou can unlock via research.
The higher-level courses will require your teachers tohave a higher Teaching Proficiency, so make sure that you stay on top of training your teachers.
