'''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. FamiliesContrary to what players might think of this, 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.
 
Kids and teens in private school will change into a uniform before getting on the school bus.

==Tips==
 
*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.
 
*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.

*While dinner table conversation with the Headmaster will contribute to the Schmooze score, dinner table conversation also significantly increases the amount of time Sims take to eat a meal. Sims can take at least two game hours to eat a meal if they are socializing while they eat, so be sure to allow enough time for them to finish the meal before the timer runs out.
 
*If the player's Sim is pregnant and they want the child to get in to private school, making one of the parents study cooking and the other to get a nice job will improve their score in a future tour.
 
*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!, it may be a good idea to remove or disable it before calling the Headmaster, unless they don't plan to serve him coffee or espresso. Occasionally, a "jump bug" may occur when a Sim washes a coffee cup in a sink. While this is only a mild annoyance if it happens to a household member, the Headmaster will vanish if it happens to him.
 
*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.
*After the Headmaster has come over, a Sim can build a relationship with him through the phone later.
*There are multiple Headmasters in a neighborhood; if inviting a Headmaster multiple times, there will be a different one each time.
*If there's [[Custom content|custom content]] of hair and skin in [[Create-A-Sim|Create A Sim]], a Headmaster may be generated to have some if it.
