I was recently asked, "how do you make a school-like Rp?" So I answered and I figured, mise as well make a guild. This is for all those who struggle making classes, schedules, and most of everything else that has to do with a school Rp.
Classes? What should I do?
Ok, for those who struggle with coming up with classes, here you go.
I will use my school-like Rp, Dragon Academy, as my example. My theme was dragons, yours could be horses, cats, dogs, or even rocks. So, my theme was dragons. Next question is, is it for humans or is is for [insert your theme]? I chose Humans. So now you know what your school is about [insert your theme] and the things taking it are [insert who is taking it]. For me it was about dragons, and humans are learning about them. Now for the classes. I came up with fun classes such as, Dragon Battling, Dragon Training, ect. I had both electives(classes you can take if you want too) and base classes. I had three base classes and around 7 electives. Make them fun and has to do with your theme. If your theme is Cats, don't do a class on dogs(unless it is avoiding dogs or something). Think about what you will teach in those classes.
Schedules!?
You made your sign ups and you are ready to start your Rp. You start typing up the informational page on your Rp Thread. Then the thought struck you schedules! You start having a mini panic attack. Don't worry, that is why I made this. This is for those who struggle(or panic) with scheduling. Think about your school(or when you had school). Base the times on it. I made my classes in the Dragon Academy, 55 minutes long(not real time). I had 5 minutes for students to get to their next class. So, I have the time slots, now for when the classes are. I had each day (repeats every week) different to Up the fun factor. Plus I didn't have enough time to fit all the classes in. So you type up the classes making everything equal. Then you look who was in each class. 10 people in one class?! Make history 1 & 2 or something. Then you need to make another class that has a 1 time and a 2 time so those people will not miss those classes. If you want to make it really complex, make every class a 1 time and a 2 time. Maybe add a 3rd time.

This is for those little details that you might need help with.
How old are your students? If their in elementary school or something, think about what are the age ranges. You don't want a 17 year old going to 1st grade. Uhhh... my students stay the night, but I don't know if they should share rooms or something. Think about if your school has enough resources to have everyone have their own rooms. In my Dragon Academy Rp I had people share rooms because this was the first year the school was open.
Your problem still not solved? Post your problem below, I would be happy to help! Need more help coming up with classes and schedules? Pm me.
Hope this helps!
