Bullworth has no days off except Christmas. According to Bully Wiki, the schedule repeats every 3 days in the PS2 version and every 5 days in SE/AE.

Tips for passing Bully classes
- Chemistry and English are available from day one, so firecrackers, stink bombs and apologizing to prefects are the earliest rewards you can get.
- According to Bully Wiki, you can retake a failed class in the next schedule cycle, and five failures earn you the Dunce Cap.
- In Scholarship and Anniversary Edition, don't pass Photography 4 before the Christmas mission Rudy the Red Nosed Santa: according to Bully Wiki, doing so may leave the camera shooting only in black and white.
- There are no Gym classes during the missions The Big Game and The Gym is Burning, so plan Gym before or after them.
- After level 5, according to Bully Wiki, the subject's bell on the map turns gray: you can skip that class without truancy.
- Console cheat codes are listed on the Bully cheats page, and the game's versions are covered on the main Bully page.
