Paralives School Guide

School
from first bell to final grade — Two enrollable schools, 17 subjects, a six-letter grade scale, and homework that takes up to three days. Here is how Parafolk education works, by the numbers. (Eyebrow: Game Guide · School; subject count is live from R2 school cross-refs, meta says 17)
The Two Schools
(Eyebrow: "2 SCHOOLS · 17 SUBJECTS"; tagline: "who goes where") Two school cards rendered from R2 school cross-refs data — . Each card shows: school name, Attends (life-stage chips linking to /parafolk/life-stages), Schedule (days · start–end time), Core subjects, Electives, Staff jobs on campus (links to /careers/<slug>), and a "Student career page" link. Known values from FAQ text: Elementary School = children and pre-teens, Mon-Fri 09:00-14:00; High School = teens, Mon-Fri 09:00-15:00.
The Grade Scale
Every subject is graded on a six-letter scale. New students start each subject at C and can work their way up to A. Doing homework raises subject grades; missed assignments and skipped days lower them. (Eyebrow: "6 GRADES"; tagline: "six letters, one report card"; grade boxes F, E, D, C, B, A with badges "starting grade" on C and "best grade" on A — grade scale list itself comes from R2 data.)
Homework
(Eyebrow: "3 PERKS"; tagline: "the daily grind") Stat tiles: "Chance of homework per school day" = % and "Time to finish an assignment" = in-game days (values from R2; FAQ text says assignments arrive every school day and take up to 3 in-game days).
Student Upgrade Perks
Students earn upgrade points at school and can spend them on perks. All three homework perks stack the odds in your favor: (perk names + descriptions come from R2 school data — ; FAQ says the three perks each add +30%: more frequent homework, a second daily assignment, or finishing homework during school hours.)
Social Services
Falling to an F in two subjects triggers a warning letter. One more F after that, and social services remove the child from the household. (Eyebrow: WARNING; tagline: "the F-word, twice". Blockquote renders the in-game warning letter title + text from R2 data — ; plus "If grades keep falling" removal subtitle and a related life goal objective note linking to /goals.)
School FAQ
Frequently asked questions
At what age do Parafolk go to school?
Children and pre-teens attend Elementary School (Mon-Fri, 09:00-14:00). Teens attend High School (Mon-Fri, 09:00-15:00). Babies and toddlers stay home and are sent to daycare when left alone.How do grades work in Paralives?
Each subject is graded F, E, D, C, B, A. Every subject starts at C. Completing homework raises the grade in that subject; failing to keep up lowers it. One life goal asks for a child with an average grade of B or better.How does homework work?
Elementary students get a homework assignment every school day, and each assignment takes up to 3 in-game days before it expires. Three student perks each add +30%: more frequent homework, a second daily assignment, or finishing homework during school hours.What happens if my child gets bad grades?
An F in two subjects triggers a School Warning letter from social services. If the child earns another F after the warning, they are taken away from the household. Keeping every subject at D or better avoids the letter entirely.
