The Bureau of Schools is a bureau of the Parliament of Education. It builds and furnishes the schools of the Commonwealth, more than eight thousand of them, and keeps the standard plans they are built to. It was established in 1951 and is headquartered at Schools House in Oslola.

Schools are limited to 500 students by law, and most have far fewer. City campuses are built as several schools side by side, each with its own name, staff and roll. The Moshel Street campus in Oslola is a well-known example, and has a dining hall, multipurpose gymnasium, photographic, photonic computing, and chemical laboratories, and a large school library.

Its plans follow the Atlantic Model, with its emphasis of cleanliness, ordered spaces and natural light. Most secondary schools also have boarding houses of about sixty students. The bureau gives each student a desk on entering a class, with a terminal built into it, and the desk is theirs until the class is dissolved.
