Are classes that are specified as 'extracurricular class' still considered towards the count of 4-6 classes per year? And does that mean that technically a student could choose to arrange their classes so they only do "fun" things alongside the required Gifts class. Such as picking Gifts, Art, Music, Theater. Or Gifts, Swimming, Pet Bonding, and a Club. Do clubs count towards the class total?

And are classes (other than Gifts) strictly one-year-only? For example, could a student choose to participate in Pet Bonding two years in a row, or in Portal Exploration all their school years if it interests them that much? And does being on the student council count towards the class total because it is listed under 'classes' if I am not mistaken?

I am asking because I want to determine what classes my character has taken in previous years (just as info for myself) cause it will shape the character better in my mind.

Honestly, I was a bit hand-wavey with the descriptions of which ones were EC or not, but yes, the EC classes do count toward the 4-6 per year. The thing is that if you take all the easy classes early on, in your later years, you'll be stuck with all the hard classes all at once, so aside from the ones that are mandatory, like Gifts and Sustained Flight, it's better to balance out each year with easy and hard classes. But it is up to the students ultimately. And yes, Student Council counts as a class, as there are daily meetings that student council members attend to. Student Council is a class you can take every year if you're accepted into it by the Illuminaires; you might just have to stack up on other classes as time goes on. Students eventually have to take all the classes. Excluding Clubs and Student Council, which are the only ones that really arent required, there are 33 classes and over the course of 8 years, that's four classes per year. You may have to do a little stacking since Gifts is mandatory every year and Sustained Flight is also required for first years. So you'll likely have 2-3 years where you have to take 5 classes instead of four, just because that's how the numbers come out (I think lol). 

There are also advanced versions of some classes, but I didn't really think to add them to the list. Honestly, some parts of it are a bit hand-wavey, ill admit. lol So don't think too hard about it tbh.
