SimCity Academy

Private school, introduced in The Sims 2, is a school that children and teenagers can attend. You can get your kids/teens into private school by inviting the headmaster via phone and impressing him with food, a tour of the house, and schmoozing. If all goes well, he will accept your kids/teens.

This page will pertain to the Sims 2.

Pros

 * Teens who get into private school will start his career at Level 2.
 * Performance awards are skill points rather than a small sum of money.
 * Private school has less of an toll on needs.
 * Private school students wear uniforms (debatable by person).

Cons

 * Homework is somewhat more stressful, which leads to a large fun drop if Sim is left unattended for a long time.
 * Preparing for the headmaster can be stressful if you have a large house for a tour and if you cook food at a late time.

Getting into Private School
If there's a student on the lot that has a grade of C or higher, any child or older Sim can call the Headmaster using the "Invite Headmaster" interaction on the phone. The headmaster then will arrive at 5 p.m. and a 6 hour scenario will start. You have to do three tasks to get accepted into private school.

To good any of the tasks, click the Headmaster and select an interaction under the "Entertain" category.

Dinner
Have your Sim serve a meal. The higher the cooker's Cooking skill, the more points the scenario will get. Burned food will not earn a good score.

Tour of the House
You can earn up to 40 points on this task. Show every room in the house, the higher the Environment need, the better score the room gets.

Schmoozing
This last element involves building relationship with the household members. The more Daily Relationship build, the better the Schmooze score.

Bonus Scoring
Getting the Headmaster to do any of the things once earn an extra 10 points:
 * Get into the hot tub. (Though it can be hard to get him out)
 * Drink coffee
 * Have a drink from the bar.

Tips
Never, ever make chef salad for the headmaster. No matter who he is (varies for each game), the headmaster absolutely HATES chef salad. He prefers pork chops and lobster. Also it's a good idea to have Dad at home, giving the tour, while Mom cooks the food. Try to keep the kid out of the way.

When your sim is pregnat if you want the cild to get in to private school make one of the parents start studying cooking and get the other to get anice job for a good tour
