'''SimCity Academy''', introduced in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', is a private school that [[child]]ren and [[teen]]agers can attend if they have a minimum grade of C. In general, it is simply referred to a private school. Despite what players might expect, families are not charged for having children and teens in private school.
Players have to have a Sim invite the Headmaster over for dinner, then schmooze, feed, and impress him in order to have their children or teens be accepted into private school. Being accepted into, or rejected from, private school gives a special [[List of Memories#Education|memory]] to both the parents and children/teens. Getting a child into private school, or getting into private school as a teen, is a high-value [[Wants and Fears|want]] that [[Fortune]] Sims are likely to roll, though it is not unique to them.
Kids and teens in private school will change into a uniform before getting on the school bus.

Any child or older Sim can call the Headmaster using the "Invite Headmaster" interaction on the [[telephone]], if there is a student on the lot that has a grade of C or higher. The Headmaster then will arrive at 5 p.m. and a 6 hour scenario will start when he is greeted. The player has to reach a score of 90 to get the family's kids/teens accepted into private school, and

===Tour of the House===
This task can earn 40 to 50 points. The Headmaster will follow the Sim who suggested the tour through the house. To show a room, click on the Headmaster

This last element involves building the Headmaster's relationships with the household members. The more [[Relationships|Daily Relationship]]

Line 40 ⟶ 41:
*Check to make sure that all doors are unlocked when the Headmaster visits. If he finds himself locked out, he will reject the child(ren) outright.
*'''Never, ever make chef salad for the headmaster.''' No matter who he is (as it varies for each game), the Headmaster absolutely hates chef salad. He prefers pork chops, lobster and salmon.
*Scoring for the dinner portion of the scenario depends on how satisfied the Headmaster is with his food. It is not necessary to have other household members eat; they will socialize with the Headmaster even if they are just sitting at the table while he eats.
*It's a good idea to have two parents at home, one giving the tour, while the other parent cooks the food. Try to keep the kid(s) out of the way. Alternatively, the player can have the child give the tour. The Headmaster likes children.
*Another option is to prepare the food ahead of time, place it in a Sim's [[inventory]], then take it out and serve it when the Headmaster arrives.
Line 46 ⟶ 48:
*If the player uses the [[Testingcheatsenabled|boolprop testingcheatsenabled]] cheat, the player can make their Sim best friends with the Headmaster. This fills the Schmooze requirement. As long as the Sims give him a nice tour, the children are guaranteed to be accepted into private school regardless of the quality of the dinner.
*The Headmaster scenario can be glitchy, so call close to 4 pm. Save just before calling, and don't save while the scenario is in progress. That way, if it glitches, you should be able to exit without saving, and try again.
*Players who use the coffeecuphack from More Awesome Than You!
*Be sure to always choose "Entertain... Call for Dinner" from the Headmaster's pie menu. Never choose "Call to Dinner... Everyone" from the meal's pie menu. This will only earn three points, as it will not count as part of the scenario.
*[[Testingcheatsenabled]] can be used to make the Headmaster selectable. This may be useful if he gets in a hot tub and will not get out.
*There are multiple Headmasters in a neighborhood; if "Invite Headmaster" is used multiple times, there will be a different one each time.
