Ouran Academy
Elite Private Academy
"Lineage counts first; wealth a close second."
Ouran Academy is for only the wealthiest and most elite of the highest pedigree. In order to attend Ouran, you must be able to afford the astronomically high tuition fees. Ouran is world renowned for its excellence and many vie to attend, but only the best get in. Though in canon, Ouran accepts only one scholarship student per year, for the sake of plotting and equal opportunity, we will be allowing up to ten scholarship students per year per school level. In addition to this, an unlimited amount of international students are allowed to attend Ouran Academy so long as they meet the initial requirements of the school. However, Ouran does not offer scholarships to international students.
Ouran uses a very precise class system in order to divide its students. This lettering system can be a bit confusing, so we will try to break it down as simply as possible. There are four possible classes in each year, and the classes mean the same regardless of what year the student is in. They are paired with the year number to create the whole class number; for example, 1A would be a first year student in the A class, and a 3B student would be a third year student in the B class. When you make an application for an Ouran student, the staff will determine your class based on the information you provide in the student's history and personality.
A CLASS: Students in the A class are considered the most elite and of the highest pedigree. They maintain only the best grades and their scores are within the top 10% of their year. Scholarship students are also found in this class, but other than this exception, only the highest-born of 'old money' will find themselves to be A students.
B CLASS: B students are one rank below A students, some only missing the A class by a small margin. They are not quite as elite in status, and their grades have a bit more leeway, as they must only be within the top 30% of their class in order to qualify. Some 'new money' students can be found in the B class, but its majority is still made up of 'old money' students.
C CLASS: The rest of the 'new money' students are usually found in the C class. Their families are lesser known and less influential than the A and B students and they are not quite as wealthy. Their grades must be within the top 50% of their class, lest they fall into the lowest and least desirable class.
D CLASS: The lowest class is the D class, which is mainly full of students with family ties to the Yakuza. They are seen as the least noteworthy and least intelligent of all the classes, though this is not necessarily always true. Primarily, the D class falls within the lower percentile of grades in their year.
The classes listed above are more or less set in stone; however, it is possible to move between classes as the ranks are based upon an average calculated between grades and pedigree. So, for example, a student of new money with somewhat poor grades might be found in the C class, where a student of the same pedigree but with much higher grades could find themselves in the B class. Conversely, a student of terrible grades but extremely high pedigree could perhaps not find themselves in the A class, but could surely find themselves in the B class without too much difficulty.
As far as years are concerned, they are separated per school level. There are five school levels: Pre, elementary, middle, high, and university. At the beginning of each level, year number will reset back to one. As with normal school, years are usually based on age, but some students of either very high or very low caliber may be found in a higher or lower year than their age group based on those traits.
PRE:
YEAR ONE: age 5-6
YEAR TWO: age 6-7
ELEMENTARY:
YEAR ONE: age 7-8
YEAR TWO: age 8-9
YEAR THREE: age 9-10
YEAR FOUR: age 10-11
YEAR FIVE: age 11-12
MIDDLE:
YEAR ONE: age 12-13
YEAR TWO: age 13-14
YEAR THREE: age 14-15
HIGH:
YEAR ONE: age 15-16
YEAR TWO: age 16-17
YEAR THREE: age 17-18
UNIVERSITY:
YEAR ONE: age 18-19
YEAR TWO: age 19-20
YEAR THREE: age 20-21
YEAR FOUR: age 21-22
Though it is not mandatory for Ouran Academy students to attend university, most all of them do for varying (but generally correlating) reasons.
