Academia: School Simulator

Academia: School Simulator is a school management game where you build and run a high school. You decide what facilities to provide, how to spend your budget and how to support—or discipline—your students.

Build your school

Construct facilities such as science labs, basketball courts, art rooms, canteens, clinics, computer labs and common areas. Add decorative objects including potted plants, statues and fountains, and customize your school seal and motto. You can also lay out janitors’ routes to manage their work.

Manage students and staff

Students have needs that affect their motivation, including hygiene, hunger and discipline. Over time, their lives become more complex: they can compete in school events such as spelling bees and fall in love. You can offer delinquent students counseling or send them to detention.

Teachers have different subject specialties and degrees. Their own motivations eventually need to be met for them to keep teaching at the highest level. You can hire the best teachers or cut costs with large classrooms, including a 1:100 teacher-to-student ratio, and decide how many toilets to build.

Game modes

Normal mode asks you to balance your budget while providing the best education you can afford. Sandbox mode gives you unlimited money to build a utopian school. Image mods let you change how students look, including making them resemble zombies or prisoners.
