Sobu High School is the generic high school setting where the series takes place. This place is modeled after Inage Senior High School in Chiba. Most of the characters either work here or attend school.
Academics 
Edit
The side entrance of Sobu High School.
It was mentioned that the entrance requirements are quite high. Those who wish to gain admittance are required to score highly on the entrance exams or receive a recommendation from good junior high schools. The entrance exams are held on a single day in February. The entire school gets a day-off except for the faculty.
According to Hachiman, Sobu teaches the "Big Five", Japanese, English, Social Sciences (Liberal Arts), Mathematics and Sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology). It also has various forms of Art, Sports, Music and Home Economics classes for nine total.
Second year students are required to fill out a career survey for help with their future course choices. Later they will choose either Liberal Arts or Sciences to focus on for their third year classes.
Most schools post results of exams on a billboard within school grounds. Sobu High does not, instead the teachers tell the students about their rankings and scores in person.
Dress Code Edit
Sobu Indoor Shoes
Yukino's Athletic Shoes.
Sobu High has three uniforms it allows its students wear. A summer outfit, winter outfit, and athletic outfit. The uniform has brown outdoor shoes, colour-coded indoor shoes with an X stitching, and colour-coded athletic shoes that has two vertical lines on the side.
Colour Code Edit
Light Novel Edit
In Volume 1 its said when wearing a normal school outfit, girls in each grade wear a colour-coded ribbon to identify themselves. A red ribbon meant the student is in second year. The ribbon colours are never mentioned again.
However, in Volume 3 its mentioned the students also have colour-coded indoor shoes and the first years wear yellow ones. The third year colour is unknown.
Anime Edit
In the anime, both Iroha (1st year) and Meguri (3rd year) are shown to be wearing a red ribbon along with the 2nd years.
In the anime the students indoor and athletic shoes match their athletic outfit colours. Red is worn by first years, green is worn by second years, and blue is worn by third years.
Summer Outfit Edit
Kakeru does not wear the uniform up to code.
The summer outfit is a simple white collared shirt, black jacket with white trim, and black pants or red plaid skirt. The boys outfit includes a tie, and the girls wear a ribbon around their necks. Many of the students do not wear the neck-piece. Since the summer is very hot, many students disregard the jacket, and girls roll up their skirt so its shorter/airier.
Winter Outfit Edit
The winter outfit is exactly the same, the only difference being an additional cream-coloured vest and a much larger navy blue overcoat for insulation.
Athletic Outfit Edit
Athletic Uniforms for the Athletic Festival.
The athletic outfit is colour-coded, but it does not match the Light Novel ribbon colour. It is a two-tone track suit with athletic shoes. Saika wears his athletic outfit year round. He also has his own special athletic shoes.
Club Outfit Edit
Sobu's sports teams have a white and purple track suit. Most noticeably seen being worn by the tennis club.

Classes Edit
Sobu High has 30 classes, 10 for each grade. Each class is represented by a letter from A to J. The Class J of each grade is an International Curriculum class is aimed at nurturing talented students capable of fulfilling an active role in the international level. It mostly consists of those who return to Japan from overseas or have aspirations to study abroad. The academic standards of Class J are 2 to 3 times higher than the other classes.[1]
Furthermore, those of this class have a unique air about them that make students of other classes wary of socializing with them, so it is safe to assumed that Class J students are of elite background.[2]
