In general, it is simply referred to as a private school. Despite what players might expect, families are not charged for having children and teens in private school, although ensuring a successful enrollment into private school will require expensive meals to be prepared and expensive furnishings to be purchased.

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 [[Knowledge]] and [[Fortune]] Sims are likely to roll, though it is not unique to them.

Players will have the chance to impress the Headmaster in three key areas: a tour of the house, providing him with dinner, and schmoozing with him. To initiate the tour or dinner, click on the Headmaster and select Entertain... from the pie menu. To schmooze, select Schmooze... from the Headmaster's pie menu. Impressing him in those three areas will earn points which add up to an overall score. 90 points (out of a possible 135) is required to be accepted into private school.

As soon as the total score breaks the 90-point requirement, the Headmaster will leave, even if there's time remaining on the clock, and all eligible children and teens in the household will be allowed into private school. Sims who age up from the toddler to the child life stage after the Headmaster's visit or child Sims added to the household after the visit are ''not'' automatically covered, and another visit will need to be scheduled. The next weekday, the accepted Sim(s) will change into a uniform and then board the school bus as normal. If the time limit expires and the score has not been met, players can try again the next day.

Sims who age up from the toddler to the child life stage after the Headmaster's visit or child Sims added to the household after the visit are ''not'' yet covered, and another visit will need to be scheduled once the toddler ages up (the household will need to do all preparations in order to meet the 90-point requirement again). The next weekday, the accepted Sim(s) will change into a uniform and then board the school bus as normal. If the time limit expires and the score has not been met, players can try again the next day.
