'''Education in Caphiria''' is provided in public and private environments. The imperial education system took its present form at the start of the 19th century, at the culmination of Emperor Magnus' federal reforms. In its original manifestation, it was a reflection of classical pedagogy, employed for over 1300 years, and of Platonic thought. Along the latter lines, the Senate and Imperator recognized that the education of the young largely determined the state of adults; For the Imperium to possess healthy, sane and productive citizens, the concept of arete (excellence) needed to be cultivated early.

'''Education in Caphiria''' is provided in public and private environments. By law, education is compulsory over the age of 3 and ends at 16.


The Ministry of Education sets overall educational standards, though private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum and staffing policies, with mandatory accreditation and regulation from the Ministry. This allows for more "creative" and "third wave" educational systems to have the chance to develop on top of the already established educational standards. By law, education is compulsory over the age of 3 and ends at 16. The public education system in Caphiria is highly complex and segmented, operated jointly by provincial and local governments. The educational stages are: Children's School (''discatorium''), Core Education (''regulatorium''), University (''universalis''), and Academy (''Academiae'').

Standard curriculums are arranged in 5 semesters lasting 9 weeks each and each semester has a different amount of vacation days: the first two semesters have 10 days each of vacation days, the third semester has 20 days; the fourth has 7 days, and the last semester has 23 days. A term is closed by testing students' knowledge of the compulsory material learned that term. Tests for the advanced courses can be taken anytime during the last two years of the core curriculum. The results of any tests taken by a student are merely used to show the school which area of higher education, if any, they should encourage for the particular student. Marks for compulsory courses are also used to distribute students evenly by aptitude across the different higher schools. There are no strict entry criteria and most students get into places of their choice.

Education in Caphiria is split into two: compulsory and non-compulsory education. Compulsory education consists of ''discatorium'' (children's school) and Core Education (''regulatorium''). Non-compulsory education takes the form of secondary education (''agnatumaticus'') and the higher education of academies (''academiae'') or universities (''universales'').

After their final session, children take a final ungraded exam (''Matura'') to graduate from the discatorium without pomp to a new method of instruction. The Acelector-Magnis philosophy has created a solid psychological and physiological basis for further education. The lax style of learning fades into compulsory classes and more academic material is introduced.
