The shorter hours for high school are for the benefit of teens who may also have a part-time job. Since military school is only mentioned, and never appears in the game, children sent there are never seen again.Ĭhildren attend elementary school (primary school) from 9 AM to 3 PM, and teens attend high school (secondary school) from 9 AM to 1 PM. (Upon examination of the bookshelf using a hacking program, it is revealed that the presence of the bookshelf is what triggers the reward.)Ĭhildren whose grades linger at F for several consecutive days are first given a warning, then banished to military school. Since children don't grow up, the only eventual reward for good grades is a 100 Simoleon reward from their relatives. A baby who becomes a child after 8 AM will not be penalized for missing school, as the bus will not come for them until the next day.Ĭhildren can boost grades by studying from books or at a computer, but do not get homework. A child who misses the school bus will lose a full grade level. However, they can skip a day by missing the school bus, though this usually requires player intervention. Children attend school every day from 9AM to 3PM, as there are no weekends in The Sims.
