'''Neoschool''' is a feature | '''Neoschool''' is a feature that was in the stages of creation since at least the year 2002. The concept would be that users could take their [[Neopet]]s to school, where they get an overall education from teachers in many different fields. Just like school in real life, the user could choose the classes their Neopets go to, and even receive a report card on their progress. | ||

The classes and teachers that were planned to be the core of Neoschools are detailed below: | |||
*'''Basic Mathematics''' - Taught by Dr. Ballard, the first part of the term covers basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. All Neopets are required to know their times tables by the end of half-term. The lessons become more challenging during later courses when Dr. Ballard progresses to formula and shape. | |||
**''Final Exam - 9th day of Celebrating'' | |||
*'''Starting Science''' - Taught by Mr. Noakes, the first part of the term is spent learning about weights and measurement. There is a field trip to [[Meri Acres Farm]] where Neopets learn about [[petpet]]s and crops, such as potato and turnip farming. After half-term there is a school science competition where one student can win their own microscope. | |||

*'''Grammar and Language''' - Taught by Mrs. Owens, students are expected to bring their own supplies to class, and any student without a pencil and paper are sent home immediately.

**''Final Exam - 8th day of Celebrating'' | |||
*'''Learning Art''' - Taught by [[Mr. Lupid]], students learn about the use of shape and colour.

**''Final Exam - 12th day of Celebrating'' | |||
*'''Simple Spelling''' - Taught by Miss Matthews, the class teaches students common spelling mistakes and how to avoid them. Simple rhymes and ditties are taught to Neopets so they can spell almost anything correctly if they try hard enough. | |||
'''Starting Science''' - Taught by | **''Final Exam - 12th day of Celebrating'' | ||
*'''Potion Brewing Basics''' - Taught by Mr. Leer as one the most advanced classes, Neopets are taught the basic components of spells and where to find the ingredients.

**''Final Exams - 10th day of Celebrating'' | |||

*Due to the fact there hasn't been any news of Neoschool in a long time, there has been debates if it will ever be released. This idea is strengthened in the video game [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]], where the word "Neoschool" appeared on a grave tomb, perhaps signifing the idea of Neoschool is officially dead. | *Due to the fact there hasn't been any news of Neoschool in a long time, there has been debates if it will ever be released.
