Every day at the First Institute began in a student's homeroom class. They would have general study lectures there before moving on to specialized courses.
The curriculum at the First Institute was set in some ways. One was required to reach a specific number of class credits before one could move on to the next year. A total number of credits was necessary for graduation as well.
It was up to students how they wanted to earn their credits, but they needed to at least reach the necessary number for each type. For instance, one could not ignore normal math or science classes just because one believed they were useless for Sequencers.
Sequencers also had to be adults who could manage their lives in the real world. Perhaps the lessons themselves wouldn't breed those skills or that knowledge, but the experience certainly would.
Tomorrow, on the first day of class, the very first thing they'd be taught was how Sequencing worked.
