11 Overview

3-School is a core part of life for younger Zois in inZOI. Children, Adolescents, and teenagers attend school daily, where they develop Skills, form Relationships, and prepare for adulthood. Schools currently operate as rabbit holes, meaning Zois disappear into the school building during school hours and return home afterward. Players can enroll their young Zois via the smartphone (press P) and navigate to the School tab to apply. Enrollment is instant with no admission requirements.

3+School is a core part of life for younger Zois in inZOI. Children, Adolescents, and Teenagers attend school daily, where they develop Skills, form Relationships, and prepare for adulthood. The education system spans three school levels tied to specific Life Stages, followed by an optional University track for Young Adults.

5-Education Stages

5+Schools currently operate as rabbit holes, meaning Zois disappear into the school building during school hours and return home afterward. Players cannot follow their Zois inside or directly control their actions in the building, but they can influence what their Zois focus on by clicking the portrait in the sidebar while school is in session. After school, students receive homework assignments that must be completed at home before the next school day.

7-inZOI features three school levels tied to specific Life Stages. One in-game day equals 48 real-world minutes by default (changed from 96 minutes in the v0.4.0 update), though this can be adjusted in settings.

7+Enrollment

9+Enrollment for elementary, middle, and high school is automatic. When a Zoi ages into the appropriate life stage, they are placed into the corresponding school level without any action from the player. There are no admission requirements, fees, or application steps for pre-university education.

11+Players can verify enrollment status and monitor school information through the Smartphone (press P) by navigating to the School tab. This tab displays the current school level, attendance record, absence count, schedule, and academic level. Players can also use this tab to voluntarily drop out of school or, for Young Adults, apply to university.

11-The Adolescent life stage was specifically created by the developers because they "wanted a middle school in the game" and to stretch the early years out to give each Zoi's personality time to form. After completing High School, Zois age up to Young Adult and can optionally attend University. Characters age up automatically without player prompting.

18+The Adolescent life stage was specifically created by the developers because they "wanted a middle school in the game" and to stretch the early years out to give each Zoi's personality time to form. Each school level builds on the previous one, and the homework tasks become progressively more varied as the Zoi moves through the stages.

1322 The School Day

1423

15-School follows a structured daily schedule. Zois automatically travel to school at the designated time each morning and return home when the school day ends. During school hours, players can click the Zoi's portrait in the sidebar to choose between activities like studying or eating in the cafeteria. While the options are limited compared to direct control, they provide some influence over development during the rabbit hole period.

24+School follows a structured daily schedule. Zois automatically travel to school at the designated time each morning and return home when the school day ends. Players receive a notification when it is time for the Zoi to leave, and as long as the Zoi's Needs are in reasonable shape, they will head out on their own.

1625

26+During school hours, players can click the Zoi's portrait in the sidebar to choose between activities like studying, socializing with classmates, or eating in the cafeteria. While the options are limited compared to direct control, they provide some influence over which skills and relationships develop during the rabbit hole period. Choosing "Study" tends to support academic level progress, while "Socialize" builds the Social child skill and can improve friendships with classmates.

1728 Random Events

1829

19-While at school, random events (sometimes called "chance cards" by the community) may pop up, presenting scenarios with multiple response choices. These events can affect a Zoi's academic performance and mood, and time pauses when they appear so players have time to consider their response.

30+While at school, random events (sometimes called "chance cards" by the community) may pop up, presenting scenarios with multiple response choices. The game pauses when a random event appears, giving players time to read the scenario and consider their options before making a decision.

2031

32+These events cover a range of school situations. A student might face a conflict with a classmate, get invited to join a study group, be asked to help another student with an assignment, or encounter a decision about participating in a school activity. Each choice has consequences that affect the Zoi's mood, relationships with classmates, and skill progress.

33+

34+Event outcomes are often tied to the four child-specific skills. Choosing to help a classmate typically builds the Social skill, while handling a conflict assertively may develop Responsibility. Creative or performance-related choices can boost Creativity. Paying attention to which skills your Zoi needs most can help guide your decisions during these events.

2136 Attendance and Absences

2237

23-The game tracks attendance and absences through the School tab on the smartphone. Three unexcused absences may result in expulsion from school. Players can also voluntarily drop out via the School tab, but this causes all academic progress to reset. Dropped-out Zois can re-enroll later.

38+The game tracks attendance and absences through the School tab on the Smartphone. Three unexcused absences will result in expulsion from school. Once expelled, the Zoi loses all academic progress and must re-enroll to start over.

2439

40+Players can also voluntarily drop out of school via the School tab, but this causes all academic progress to reset. Dropped-out Zois can re-enroll later, though they will begin from the beginning of their current school level.

41+

42+To avoid unintentional absences, make sure your Zoi's basic needs (hunger, energy, hygiene) are met before the school notification arrives. A Zoi who is too hungry, exhausted, or uncomfortable may refuse to leave for school, which counts as an unexcused absence. Setting an early wake-up routine and keeping meals and showers on schedule helps ensure reliable attendance.

2544 Homework System

27-After each school day, young Zois receive homework assignments that appear as a task list on the left side of the screen. These tasks must be completed within a tight window of approximately 5 to 6 hours after school ends.

46+After each school day, young Zois receive homework assignments that appear as a task list on the left side of the screen. These tasks must be completed within a tight window of approximately 5 to 6 hours after school ends. If the deadline passes before all tasks are finished, any incomplete assignments count as missed and the Zoi's academic level drops.

34-When reading assignments say to read a specific book, you must find the exact correct book on the bookshelf (for example, an "advanced" book rather than a "beginner" one)Simply filling the reading progress circle is not enough; the Zoi must study the book to completion for the task to count as doneIf you do not own the required book at home, visit a public library to find itA bookshelf and a computer at home are essential furniture items for completing most homework tasksCompleting homework on time increases the Zoi's Academic Level, while missing deadlines causes it to drop

53+Reading assignments are the most common source of confusion for new players. When the homework says to read a specific book, you must find the exact correct title on the bookshelf. Pay close attention to the required level of the book. For example, the homework might ask for an "advanced" version of a topic rather than the "beginner" one, and books with similar titles can easily be mixed up. Simply filling the reading progress circle is not enough; the Zoi must continue studying the book until the homework task is explicitly marked as complete on the task list.

3554

55+If you do not own the required book at home, visit a public library. The AR Library in Dowon and the public library in Bliss Bay both have a wide selection. Open the map, select the library, and choose "Go Here" or "Drive Here" to travel there. The Zoi can read and study the book on-site to complete the assignment.

56+

57+Computer-based tasks (research, coding, and essay writing) are generally straightforward. Interact with any computer and open the Homework tab. The available assignments will be listed, and you select the one that matches your current task. Make sure to start computer assignments early in the homework window since essay writing in particular can take a significant chunk of time.

58+

59+Fitness assessments require a treadmill. If you do not have one at home, you will need to visit a community lot with gym equipment. Queue the treadmill exercise as soon as the homework appears to leave time for other assignments afterward.

3661 Academic Level

3762

38-inZOI tracks academic performance through an "Academic Level" metric rather than a traditional GPA or letter grade system. This can be monitored via the School tab on the smartphone, which also displays attendance, absences, and schedule information. Completing homework on time and attending school regularly increase the Academic Level, while missing deadlines or skipping classes cause it to decline.

63+inZOI tracks academic performance through an "Academic Level" metric rather than a traditional GPA or letter grade system. There is no formal grading scale, honor roll, or report card. The Academic Level is displayed as a progress bar on the School tab of the Smartphone, along with attendance, absence count, and the current school schedule.

3964

65+Completing homework on time and attending school regularly both increase the Academic Level. Missing homework deadlines, skipping school days, or accumulating absences cause it to decline. Positive random event outcomes at school can also give small boosts. The Academic Level carries over between school levels, so a child who maintains a high academic level in elementary school enters middle school with a head start.

66+

67+While there are currently no direct gameplay rewards tied to a high academic level (such as career bonuses or scholarship offers), maintaining it ensures your Zoi stays enrolled and avoids the penalties of dropping out. Future updates may expand the role of academic performance in career advancement and other systems.

4069 Child Skill Development

4170

4271 Young Zois have access to four exclusive child skills, each capped at level 5. When a Zoi ages up to Teenager, the associated adult skills automatically start at level 5 through what the game calls an "Aptitude" unlock. This makes childhood skill development particularly valuable for long-term character progression.

72-Students will automatically equip their backpack when leaving home during school commute timeSchool bus support for children's commutes, depending on the citySchool events such as entrance and graduation ceremonies

101+Start homework immediately. The 5-to-6-hour deadline is tighter than it seems, especially when multiple tasks need different furniture. Queue the first assignment as soon as your Zoi gets home.Match the exact book title. Reading homework specifies a particular book, sometimes at a particular difficulty level. Double-check that the title matches before your Zoi starts reading. Reading the wrong book wastes time and does not count toward the assignment.Study, do not just read. Filling the reading progress circle is not the same as completing the homework. The Zoi must study the book to completion; the task is only marked done when the left-side checklist updates.Keep needs topped off before school. A Zoi who is starving or exhausted may refuse to leave for school, costing an unexcused absence. Feed them and let them sleep early the night before.Use weekends for skill grinding. No school or homework on weekends means the full day is available for Creativity, Motor Development, Social, and Responsibility training.Prioritize Creativity early. It unlocks four adult skills at level 5, more than any other child skill. Focus on instruments, painting, and video games during free time.Buy a bookshelf and computer first. These two pieces of furniture cover most homework types and save travel time to public libraries.Do not ignore random events. School chance cards can boost skills and relationships. Read the options carefully and choose based on which skill your Zoi needs most.
