After 12 long years, we’re back and bringing the school festival with us!

Your favorite dream school simulator is back and better than ever! Introducing: The super fun school festival!

Build facilities and create a great school environment. Set up classrooms, a cafeteria…and a counseling room! (A little nerve-wracking for students to get called in there!)

Place compatible facilities together to create popular spots which will make your school really stand out. As the school’s popularity and rep go up, enrollment applications will flood in.

Once you get the hang of things, hold a school festival, complete with fun activities for all!

Get serious about school clubs, too! Once your students get good enough to breeze through practice matches, enter them into the nationals and help them reach that sweet victory. They may even get scouted for their talent!

Help your students prepare for placement tests so they can realize their dreams.

Much sweat and many a tear will be shed as you build your ideal school!

12 years since Pocket Academy, we’ve perfected the recipe for an exciting school management simulator, packing in lots of new features!

Pocket Academy 3 (Switch – eShop) comes out on March 30th worldwide.
