Goh and Chloe's teacher
Goh and Chloe's homeroom teacher is a recurring character who first appeared in Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!. During a class she asked her students about their aspirations in life. This question ended up leaving Chloe unsure about her future.
She appeared again in To Train, or Not to Train!, this time meeting Goh and Chloe while they went to school. Goh revealed to Chloe that he made a deal with the teacher so that he can be at school during exams while traveling the Pokémon world for his work as a research assistant at the Cerise Laboratory. She was seen again during class applying the exam to her students, until Chloe ended up having to leave in a hurry to see why Yamper had entered the school.
In JN050, she sent an e-mail to Chloe, letting her know that she could write an assignment on her field trip to the Galar region to make up for her absence from class.

Places
Classrooms
The classrooms at the school follow a structure very similar to that of a classroom in Japanese schools. It has a bigger slate in the center with a speaker (probably for school ads) and two smaller ones on the sides that have some ads. At the back of the room there are a few more slates that work as a notice board and a small bookcase.
Playground
This place is used for students to leave their Pokémon while they are attending classes. In addition to toys designed for Pokémon, there are some made for humans as well. In To Train, or Not to Train!, the Team Rocket disguised themselves as students to steal the Pokémon.
