Education Center - Shoale

The Education Center, also known as the Shoale, is made up of a group of 5 buildings which are a mix of the old Nihilum style of architecture and the new Gyllis style. The 5 buildings each host different age ranges of students. The first, and smallest building serves as a daycare for ages 1-6, but doesn’t see its kids daily. The daycare is seen as a place for kids to socialize, as well as a safe place to drop kids off at to give parents a break when they need it, but it is not a place kids tend to go everyday. Parents are expected to only work as much as works for them, and can easily put their careers aside to take care of their children while still meeting their needs.

The second building hosts ages 7-18, and is where children’s education truly begins. While focus is still placed heavily on socialization, topics such as math, reading, history, and science are taught much more heavily than they were in the daycare. Students are grouped by their comprehension levels more than their ages, which are gathered through the grading of students assignments.

The third through fifth buildings are all for upper education, and are open to all ages. From age 18 up, students have complete choice on which classes they take, and some will take the same class numerous times, and may even step in to help teach that class. For upper education classes guest speakers from the Special Interests Committee are a common occurrence as they come to talk to students about their special interest, answer questions, and even induct new members into their committee.
