Schooling is a Point-Buy mechanic that allows a Character to have attended a major academy or institution somewhere in the world and gotten an education there. Each school costs 3 Proficiency Points to have attended. When you purchase a pack, specify which School of that pack you attended on your Character Application. Attending a school gives a Character the bragging right of having gone there, but also a unique mechanic that can be used in Progressions to reflect their higher education, and a function that can be used in-game. Whether or not a school blocks students is indicated by the 'Open' or 'Only' next to its name. Open means anyone can go. Only means only the Race or Culture that runs the school can go. There is no cap on how many schools your Character can have attended, although it should make sense in the Backstory you have written up for them. Some packs can be bought multiple times, to get more schools of that pack, but this doesn't apply to all packs. Check the descriptions for more information.

- Certain Knightly Orders allow their members to learn the equivalent of certain School Types during their training. Knights who wish to learn these School Types may invest the 3 points per Type where applicable, but cannot attend any other schools in the same Type category. Furthermore, Knights cannot claim any of the Backstory Rights, as their membership to their Knightly Order is a lifelong commitment.
