Students don't spend all day flying through the air though! They have to work hard at all the normal subjects, like Maths and Science, too. There are also rules like at an ordinary school. Students have to be on time, wear a school uniform and switch their mobile phones off in class (they sometimes don't have to switch off their MP3 players, though!). Also, they don't get into the school easily. They have to do a circus skills course, and then the school chooses its students.

Contrary to what one might think, students at the Flying Fruit Fly Circus School also focus on academic subjects like Maths and Science. The school has rules similar to ordinary schools, including punctuality, wearing a uniform, and turning off mobile phones in class. Admission is not automatic; students must complete a circus skills course, after which the school selects its students.
