Revision 1

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 school system operates as a rabbit hole, with Zois disappearing into the school building during school hours and returning home afterward with homework assignments to complete.

Education Stages

After completing High School, Zois age up to Young Adult and can optionally attend University. University is not mandatory but provides additional skill development and social opportunities.

The School Day

School follows a structured daily schedule:

• Zois automatically travel to school at the designated time each morning

• During school hours, Zois are inside the school building (rabbit hole mechanic)

• Players can select skill-boosting actions for their Zois during school hours

• After school ends, Zois return home automatically

While at school, players can influence which Skills their young Zois focus on by selecting from available school activities. This provides some control over development even during the rabbit hole period.

Homework System

After each school day, young Zois receive 2 mandatory homework assignments. Key details about homework:

• Each assignment has a time limit of approximately 3 to 4 in-game hours

• Homework must be completed before the next school day

• Completing homework on time contributes to positive school performance

• Neglecting homework can affect the Zoi's school standing and mood

Skill Development

School is an important period for skill development. Young Zois have access to four child-specific skills:

Child skills max out at level 5. When a Zoi ages up to Young Adult, the associated adult skills automatically start at level 5, providing a significant head start. This makes childhood skill development particularly valuable for long-term character progression.

After-School Activities

Outside of school hours and homework time, young Zois can participate in various activities to develop their skills further:

• Practice instruments for Creativity and future Instrument Skill

• Exercise and play for Motor Development and future Fitness Skill

• Socialize with friends and family for Social skill development

• Draw and paint for artistic development

• Complete puzzles and reading for Responsibility growth

Planned School Improvements

The 2026 Roadmap includes several school-related improvements:

• School entrance and graduation ceremonies

• Automatic backpack equipping when heading to school

• School bus functionality for transportation

• High school campus properties as explorable locations

• Part-time jobs accessible to teenagers (Q3 2026)
