Advanced Nurturing High School

Biodata

Background

Founded decades before the story, Advanced Nurturing High School has remained under the Sakayanagi family’s leadership. Its graduates include people who entered politics, business, academia, and the arts; support from prominent alumni helps sustain the school’s funding 123.

Students live on campus for three years with ordinary contact with the outside world restricted. They can learn about current events online, but cannot use social media to communicate externally. Special exams and major club competitions provide limited occasions to leave campus 1 100 231 267.

Class Competition

• Initial placement: Students are assigned to Classes A through D according to the school’s assessment of their overall abilities, including weaknesses that may not be apparent from grades or athletic performance 14 292.
• Class Points: Classes begin with 1,000 points. Their current totals determine their rankings and affect their monthly benefits; a lower-ranked class becomes Class A if it surpasses the class above it 3 14.
• Private Points: Students use these points as school currency. Monthly distributions are tied to Class Points: after Class D fell to zero Class Points, its students received no Private Points for the month 13 14.
• Class A graduation: The school’s promised preferential access to prestigious universities and employers applies only to students who graduate from Class A 3 15.
• Class transfer: A student can transfer for 20 million Private Points. Katsuragi Kohei’s transfer from Class B to Class A demonstrates the procedure 2 217.
• Expulsion: Exam failure and rule violations can lead to expulsion; an expulsion can also cost the student’s class points 15 125 267.
• Hidden rules: Teachers and upperclassmen cannot volunteer certain rules to new students. The school instead expects students to notice clues and ask questions; Shiraishi Makoto uncovers the central point and ranking rules on his second day 1 2 3 9.

Student Evaluation

Overall Ability (OAA) System

• The OAA app makes students’ records viewable across classes and grades. Its four ratings are Academic Ability, Physical Ability, Adaptive Thinking, and Social Contribution, which feed into an overall evaluation 199 237.
• Academic ratings draw primarily on written exams; physical ratings draw on PE, clubs, and special exams. Adaptive Thinking includes communication and social standing, while Social Contribution includes conduct and service such as Student Council work 237.
• Students sign in through facial recognition on their personal terminals. The app also allows direct contact with other students, and its current-year results update monthly 237.
• Public ratings help students choose partners but may expose low-rated students to manipulation or make them easier for their own classes to abandon 199.
• The system is introduced while Tsukishiro is acting chairman, amid disagreement between more radical directors and Sakayanagi Kōhei’s comparatively conservative approach to education 199.

Special Exams

Campus and Administration

• Facilities: The campus includes dormitories, a cafeteria, convenience store, shopping district, library, gymnasium, club facilities, and Student Council office 1 2 5 15 160.
• Student Council: It oversees clubs, resolves student disputes and appeals, and assists with announcements and examinations. Its president can learn certain special-exam rules in advance within limits 15 199.
• Surveillance and records: Cameras affect how students behave and gather evidence. School-notarized agreements are kept on file to prevent private alteration 1 130.
• Outside influence: Financial backers and directors have interests in the school, but its rules restrict direct interference in student matters. The attempted targeting of Ayanokoji Kiyotaka becomes a point of conflict during Tsukishiro’s acting chairmanship 199 249 261.
