Neogenesis... Bringing together the charmed ones of Neopia !!

(From the Neopian Times Week 41 (Volume 1))
Can I enroll my pet in a school to raise the intelligence?
A school is something we may be adding in the future, but for now you can raise your NeoPets intelligence by reading it books. You can normally find books on sale in the Marketplace for less than 30 NP each.

I have been hearing about a school for neopets but I wasn't sure if there is one, is there a school or not? (if yes) where is it?
There isn't a Neopian School, but there is a Training School on Mystery Island and a Swashbuckling Academy on Krawk Island. You can also make your Neopet more intelligent by reading them books.

27th February (2002)

Are you ever planning to make it possible to use HTML in the Adventure Generator?
Very basic HTML will eventually be added but not CSS or 'real HTML' as we don't want to have HUGE pictures or midi files bogging down everyones computers. You will be able to bold, italicize etc. just like you can on the chat boards although this won't be added for a while as we are finishing up some other projects *hint* Neoschools *hint*

10th July (2003)

How could any Neopet even consider going to school without these new Berry School Supplies?

13th August (2003)

Make your Neopet's classmates literally green with envy when they see all this lovely new Tonu School Equipment.

27th August (2003)

As many of you know it is the back to school season, we will be theming much of today's content towards this :)
*** Neoschool Update ***
We are currently in the process of finishing up the last few things and the new term is due to start shortly. Each of your pets will be able to register for up to three subjects, join after school clubs and try to be the most popular pet in school. We will keep you posted...

I do hope your pet has been reading over the summer...
What better thing to send your pet off to school with than a nice healthy Packed Lunch. Each one contains a drink, sandwich and piece of fruit to make sure your Neopet will have plenty to eat at lunch time.

Make sure your Neopet can carry all those heavy school books with one of these stunning new petpet themed Back Packs.

There is a new Back To School shop Blog - yay!
This week's Gallery Spotlight award goes to Rosebud2554 for their shop The Neopian School Gallery.

What is this Neoschool I hear about? Where is it? What do I need? How do I get my pet in?
Neoschool is not yet launched (but it is VERY VERY close). Everything you need to do will be announced next week and you will be able to start registering your Neopet for classes towards the end. The school term is scheduled to start on the 8th day of Gathering. (oops I've said to much already)

May I still send my neopets to school with food other than a packed lunch? Because there really is no difference except one is in a package (but thats what a lunch box is for)
Yes, by all means. The lunch box is just a convienient option.

The new teachers for the Neopia school, were they some of the names of "Your" teachers back in school, or are they totally made up names? - _Jacksparrowluver_
Well... some of them are most definitely based on teachers that were at my old school although I am not saying which ones.
