Season 1
The series chronicles events unfolding within a school that is both ordinary and, at the same time, extraordinary. It is ordinary in the sense that every situation is instantly recognizable to any student, and most of the character archetypes could be encountered in any average high school; yet, its extraordinary nature lies in the fact that it is staffed by unconventional teachers. These educators approach their subjects with the utmost ingenuity and a tremendous amount of creativity—a dynamic that, true to the genre, inevitably escalates every situation to the point of absurdity. A magical atmosphere permeates the school, fostered by the almost familial, good-natured relationships that exist between the teachers and their students. The protagonists of the series are the students of a single class, and each episode illustrates a single day in the life of this remarkable school.
