* ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'': The main cast is rarely seen at school or doing related activities, with most of their stories happening at the nearby field or in their houses. It is even [[LampshadeHanging pointed out]] by a character once, to which Magali (Maggy) responds that [[AnthropicPrinciple all of their stories happen during their breaks]]. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Chico Bento (Chuck Billy)'s stories, which often happen at school and are largely involved with it.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Nero}}'': Petoetje and Petatje often want to go on adventure along with the adults, but are told to go to school. Sometimes they do travel along with them by sneaking aboard on the ship or plane that takes them to another country. Other times they travel alone. Adhemar, a five year old boy genius, is always at school, but as a professor rather than a pupil. Nevertheless he does skip classes whenever he needs to go on adventure or save his family and friends. Often just by ending his lesson there and now.

'''[[AvertedTrope Aversions]] and {{Hand Wave}}s:'''

'''Examples played straight:'''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'': SHIELD has embedded Agent Coulson as the principal at Midtown High, so that if Spidey's SHIELD-operated hero team needs to be sent on a mission during school hours, Coulson can just send them to "detention."

* With ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', this seems very much DependingOnTheWriter. The heroes do go to classes, and their school can often be vital to the whole plot of an episode. Other times, they seem to have the day off for no explained reason. One rather ''hilarious'' aversion was in "Operation: F.L.U.S.H.", where Mr. Boss, Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb, and the Crazy Cat Lady took over the Treehouse while the team was at school, only to be beaten up by [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain the Toilenator]] (who they had gotten rid of by telling him to get coffee), who mistook them for the team. Leading to this:

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' cartoon, this applies to pretty much every teen hero, and it's only made more noticeable when you realize that the H.I.V.E. Five were actively enrolled in school, albeit [[AcademyOfEvil one for super-powered villains]]. A pass could be made for [[Characters/TeenTitansRaven Raven]] and most of the others, as they have odd powers and would likely not be welcome in a public school environment, with [[Characters/TeenTitansCyborg Cyborg]] mentioning at one point that he couldn't finish high school because of the event that made him into a cyborg. But what about Robin or Speedy?

* Given that it takes place at a school, it's no surprise that ''Literature/HarryPotter'' mostly averts this -- the Golden Trio attends class throughout the first six books, with the school often serving as ChekhovsClassroom or a setting for character development. It greatly contrasts with [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix the fifth book]], when the plot nearly grinds to a halt while the characters take their [=OWL exams=], the magical equivalent of [=AP=] exams. It gets played straight in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Harry's third year]], when he realizes he is wholly unprepared to take his final exams because he missed his first two years' worth (he was incapacitated in the hospital wing after facing down Quirrel in his first year, and Dumbledore cancelled exams after the basilisk was defeated in his second).

* The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse's [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]], natch. In ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Civil War]]'', he tells Tony that he can't go to Germany to fight Captain America because he has homework. By ''[[Film/SpiderManHomecoming Homecoming]]'', he does all his Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man stuff outside of class time, using the guise of the "Stark Internship" to keep Aunt May off his back (although he does initially leave his academic decathlon in order to keep doing Spider-Man things, later rejoining when the two coincide). And when he ditches his field trip in ''[[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Infinity War]]'' to help Iron Man and Doctor Strange, he has bigger things to worry about than his teacher marking him absent. Trailers for ''[[Film/SpiderManFarFromHome Far From Home]]'' imply that he attempts to invert this trope, giving up being Spider-Man while on a summer trip in Europe, until ComicBook/NickFury and ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} start to shake things up.
* ComicBook/MilesMorales runs into this as well in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''. Given the film's short time frame (roughly 48 hours or so), we don't see the effects of Miles's hero work on his school absences, but [[CaughtComingHomeLate he does run into an angry security guard who knows he snuck out past curfew]].

* The titular character in WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins occasionally mentions school, but has never been seen attending.

* In the Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders) of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', Jotaro and Kakyoin are both 17-years-old students and are explicitly shown going to school in the beginning, however it seems to not stop them for going on a [[RoadTripPlot really long travel]] from Japan to Egypt to defeat a vampire and his horde. Somewhat justified with Jotaro since his mom's life is at stake and he's a [[JapaneseDelinquents sort of a delinquent]], but more jarring with Kakyoin who, judging by [[spoiler: his dying thoughts]], didn't even warned his parents about going to Egypt!

-->'''Homer:''' Ah, touché.

But what about Robin or Speedy?

* An odd example that is both played straight and not (and sometimes lampshaded) all for the RuleOfFunny is ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''. When the Mayor calls, they will sometimes be at their kindergarten and have to leave in the middle of some activity... usually through the roof of the building.

* ''Akiko on the Planet Smoo'' has a robotic doppelganger take her place over the course of the adventure, since she's gone in real-time.

* Averted in ''[[Literature/LegendsOfLaconia Waking Echoes]]'' - Taylor is so busy doing advanced classes, extracurricular activities, church events, and volunteering that when she starts having VisionsOfAnotherSelf from her [[{{Reincarnation}} previous life in another dimension]], most people assume she has worked herself into a [[CassandraTruth nervous breakdown]].

* Given that it takes place at a school, it's no surprise that ''Literature/HarryPotter'' mostly averts this - the Golden Trio attends class throughout the first six books, with the school often serving as ChekhovsClassroom or a setting for character development. It greatly contrasts with [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix the fifth book]], when the plot nearly grinds to a halt while the characters take their [=OWL exams=], the magical equivalent of [=AP=] exams. It gets played straight in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Harry's third year]], when he realizes he is wholly unprepared to take his final exams because he missed his first two years' worth (he was incapacitated in the hospital wing after facing down Quirrel in his first year, and Dumbledore cancelled exams after the basilisk was defeated in his second).
* Four of the five books in ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' take place over summer break, with the third one taking place over winter break. Of those, the first two take place just after the end of the school year with some overlap, and the fourth takes place near the end of summer, with the first chapter taking place at Percy's high school orientation. Justified, as the series takes place at a summer camp, so Percy simply doesn't do demigod things during the school year (likely at the behest of his mother). That said, there are some campers, including Percy's best friend (and later {{Love Interest|s}}) Annabeth, who stay at camp year round due to bad (mortal) family lives, high risk of attracting monsters, or other reasons - Percy just isn't one of them.

** ''Series/{{Awkward}}'' is the same - they walk around the halls and go to the cafeteria and gym, but they never sit in a class or do any schoolwork.

* A college example - Billie in ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}''. It's mentioned a couple of times that she's failing a lot of classes and one episode has her missing an important test because she's been fighting a demon. It's likely she only goes to college because the sisters make her.
* Pretty much averted in ''Series/HouseOfAnubis''. There are many scenes that take place inside the school- enough that the plot may often depend on these scenes. The times when the characters do skip school, they're usually always caught, or it's {{lampshade|Hanging}}d. Some fans have also pointed out that the teachers do less in school than the students do, which sort of inverts the trope.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'' never shows the characters' school, because all the action takes place on...well...the weekend. School is frequently mentioned, however, and their gym teacher is a supporting character.

* In the Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders) of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', Jotaro and Kakyoin are both 17-years-old students and are explictly shown going to school in the beginning, however it seems to not stop them for going on a [[RoadTripPlot really long travel]] from Japan to Egypt to defeat a vampire and his horde. Somewhat justified with Jotaro since his mom's life is at stake and he's a [[JapaneseDelinquents sort of a deliquent]], but more jarring with Kakyoin who, judging by [[spoiler: his dying thoughts]], didn't even warned his parents about going to Egypt!

* ''Series/H2OJustAddWater'' has an episode called "The Siren Effect" where Cleo mentions that it's a Wednesday. She's having a sleepover that night as well - which means that her parents must be very lenient or they're on half-term.
* The eponymous heroine of ''Series/HannahMontana'' goes on tour for weeks at a time, and engages in activities and publicity stunts during school hours, such as reading to a group of preschoolers. Yet, as regular old Miley Stewart, she attends a public school and her absences are never referenced, nor do they arouse the suspicion of anyone at school. In the fourth and final season, however, Miley gets to see her best friend Lilly attend a CaliforniaUniversity she had been planning to attend all of her life, while Miley is rejected as she hadn't participated in enough school activities because she had to work as Hannah. She only seems to be accepted in after she reveals her secret identity to the whole world. In RealLife, celebrity children often have their lessons filled in by "studio teachers" while they're in the middle of large projects that can't conform to regular school schedules. Not really applicable here since Hannah is Miley's "SecretIdentity" only known to her immediate family and closest friends.

** ''[[Anime/DigimonFusion Fusion]]'' is similar to ''Frontier'' - YearInsideHourOutside is in effect, so while the story begins during the school semester, school is a non-issue because practically no time has passed. ''[[Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime The sequel]]'' plays similarly to ''Adventure 02'' and ''Savers'', in that they generally learn of the problems during the school day and do something about them during breaks or after hours; it also exaggerates it slightly, in that some incidents have happened ''while they are in class''.
* ''Manga/NabariNoOu'': Played completely straight in Miharu and Raimei's cases - Miharu in particular misses at least two months of school after [[spoiler:using the Shinrabanshou]]…[[HandsOffParenting and when he comes back home, his grandmother is just happy he's making friends]]. It's averted by Yoite, who never attended school to begin with, and later by Gau when it's mentioned that he ended up dropping out. It's justified in [[spoiler: Kouichi and Shijima]]'s cases because they're not actually kids.
* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': Despite a year seemingly passing between Ash's start of his journey and the short ''Pikachu and Pichu'' that was aired alongside ''Anime/Pokemon3: Spell of the Unown'', [[NotAllowedToGrowUp Ash still remains ten]] and the concept of required schooling is never brought up. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] during his trip in the Alola Region, where he enrolls in the local school though he does so via his own voliation.
** There exist certain schools dedicated toward Pokémon training as seen throughout the series, where one can further their understanding or even gain entry to a League via high marks. Most notably is the aforementioned Pokémon School in Alola which acts as the primary setting of the season.
** There exists regular schooling for children as acknowledged by Max (who himself is allowed to follow his sister across two regions, so the trope is still played straight for him) and shown by Chloe Cerise who unlike her friend Goh, who is techincally enrolled but only shows up for mandatory testing, still attends regularly. When a child reaches their tenth birthday they have the opportunity to become a Pokémon Trainer, but otherwise they can continue with normal academia.

* ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'': Sure they're in school, and sure, they go to class when the plot calls for it, but there are many examples where they are some how able to spend the entire day out of school and doing whatever they need to be doing for the topic of the class- and the teachers involved in the plot never mark them as skipping? (One example was the episode where Ned and Moze were dealing with a pair of sneakers in the Lost and Found, Ned wanting them, Moze wanting to return them, and they had the whole day to themselves to deal with the problem, never showing to class once.) Amusingly [[LampshadeHanging semi-lampshaded]] when there's a dramatic moment in the hall, (hostage exchange, etc. - hey, it's that kind of show) a teacher or hall monitor will walk past, [[PhraseCatcher ask "Do you have hall passes?"]] and the action pauses while all the students hold up passes, then go right back to the drama.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheDavincibles'': Pablo and Zoë do attend High School when not adventuring, but it never seems to interfere with them travelling the world with their uncle.

* In the Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders) of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', Jotaro and Kakyoin are both 17-years-old students and are explictly shown going to school in the beginning, however it seems to not stop them for going on travel several days long RoadTripPlot from Japan to Egypt to defeat an ancient vampire and his horde. Somewhat justified with Jotaro since his mom's life is at stake and he's a [[JapaneseDelinquents sort of a deliquent]], but more jarring with Kakyoin who, judging by [[spoiler: his dying thoughts]], didn't even warned his parents about going to Egypt.

* In ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', the monsters conveniently attack within walking distance (or a short ride via public transportation) from where the main characters live, and unless their plan has something to do with an extracurricular activity, ''never'' while the Sailor Senshi are supposed to be at school. This [[JustifiedTrope does make some sense]], though, since in all but one story arc the protagonists are intimately connected to the BigBad or have what the BigBad wants. Also, generally, when the above doesn't apply, the problems are implied to have been happening for some time, and the heroines simply investigate at a convenient, non-school time. Or, the event is actually triggered by the senshi being there. Or, the villain crashes the school and forcibly ends classes, so it's not much of an issue. Naturally, most MagicalGirlWarrior shows, such as ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' and ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'', have followed in the footsteps of ''Sailor Moon'' by using a similar setup. Although it's worth pointing out in the latter case that Nanoha actually got her parent's permission to take a leave of absence from school for the final third of the first season.

* In ''Series/LazyTown'', Stephanie, Ziggy, Pixel, Stingy, and Trixie are FreeRangeChildren who spend most of their days playing outside and exploring instead of attending school. They're also also explicitly stated not to be on summer vacation, since there are episodes that take place in winter, and another with the title "The First Day of Summer." What makes it even weirder is that there are two episodes in the whole show, "School Scam" and "Time to Learn," that ''do'' take place in a classroom, and everyone acts as if they've been going to school all along, even though it's never been mentioned before; Mayor Meanswell is the principal, and the kids know their class schedule by heart. It doesn't help that there are exactly four adults in the whole town, and only one--Bessie Busybody--is a likely candidate for their teacher, but she doesn't show up in "School Scam" at all. The only other reference to education is a ''Lazytown Extra'' segment in which Stingy rushes through his homework.

The only other reference to education is a ''Lazytown Extra'' segment in which Stingy rushes through his homework.

* ''Manga/ChainsawMan'': Denji has gone without any formal education up to the age of sixteen, presumably because the {{yakuza}} keeping him as a debt-slave scare off any truant officers. Once [[FusionDance merging with a Devil]] [[InhumanableAlienRights caused him to lose all his rights]], Public Safety force him to work for them, providing him with housing and food, but not any education. [[spoiler:The last page of Part 1 shows that, after Denji left Public Safety and stepped out of Makima's shadow, he's still fighting Devils in hi spare time [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld while attending high school]].]]

A common trope in adventuring anime, and practically any video game or show that takes place in a world of adventurers (may be justified in the latter if there ''are'' no public schools).

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': The series takes place over one summer, so school isn’t brought up until "Dipper and Mabel vs. The Future".

* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'' never shows and very rarely mentions that Cricket, Tilly and Remy attend school. WordOfGod says that the show takes place on weeknights, weekends or summer break, since they felt as though childhood really is encompassed ''outside of school''.

** [[LightNovel/PocketMonstersTheAnimation A rare and little known novelization]] released early in [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} the anime]]'s life [[AllThereInTheManual hand-waves this]]. After children in the Pokémon world finish schooling at the age of ten, they become legal adults who are free to leave to become full-time trainers, or do whatever else they want, an aspect that appears to remain canon if the ''Sun and Moon'' seasons of the anime are any indication.

* Given that it takes place at a school, it's no surprise that ''Literature/HarryPotter'' mostly averts this - the Golden Trio attends class throughout the first six books, with the school often serving as ChekhovsClassroom or a setting for character development. It greatly contrasts with [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix the fifth book]], when the plot nearly grinds to a halt while the characters take their [=OWL exams=], the magical equivalent of [=AP=] exams.
** It gets played straight in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Harry's third year]], when he realizes he is wholly unprepared to take his final exams because he missed his first two years' worth (he was incapacitated in the hospital wing after facing down Quirrel in his first year, and Dumbledore cancelled exams after the basilisk was defeated in his second).

[[folder:Film]]
* The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse's Peter Parker, natch. In ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Civil War]]'', he tells Tony that he can't go to Germany to fight Captain America because he has homework. By ''[[Film/SpiderManHomecoming Homecoming]]'', he does all his Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man stuff outside of class time, using the guise of the "Stark Internship" to keep Aunt May off his back (although he does initially leave his academic decathlon in order to keep doing Spider-Man things, later rejoining when the two coincide). And when he ditches his field trip in ''[[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Infinity War]]'' to help Iron Man and Doctor Strange, he has bigger things to worry about than his teacher marking him absent. Trailers for ''[[Film/SpiderManFarFromHome Far From Home]]'' imply that he attempts to invert this trope, giving up being Spider-Man while on a summer trip in Europe, until ComicBook/NickFury and ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} start to shake things up.
* Miles Morales runs into this as well in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''. Given the film's short time frame (roughly 48 hours or so), we don't see the effects of Miles's hero work on his school absences, but he does run into an angry security guard who knows he snuck out past curfew.

* Likewise subverted by the entire premise of ''[[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Suite Life On Deck]]'' where they're living on a ''floating'' boarding school in the form of a cruise ship.

* For a long time after escaping from their evil parents, none of the ComicBook/{{Runaways}} attended school, even when most of them were still under 16. They reluctantly agreed to enroll Molly and Klara in a home-schooling program based on the curriculum at ComicBook/AvengersAcademy, in exchange for not getting their hideouts raided by the Avengers every few months.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime: Despite a year seemingly passing between Ash's start of his journey and the short ''Pikachu and Pichu'' that was aired alongside ''Anime/Pokemon3: Spell of the Unown'', [[NotAllowedToGrowUp Ash still remains ten]] and the concept of required schooling is never brought up. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] during his trip in the Alola Region, where he enrolls in the local school though he does so via his own voliation.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' cartoon, this applies to pretty much every teen hero, and it's only made more noticeable when you realize that the H.I.V.E. Five were actively enrolled in school, albeit one for super-powered villains.

But what about Robin or Speedy?

** [[LightNovel/PocketMonstersTheAnimation A rare and little known novelization]] released early in [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} the anime]]'s life [[AllThereInTheManual hand-waves this]]. After children in the Pokémon world finish schooling at the age of ten, they become legal adults who are free to leave to become full-time trainers, or do whatever else they want, an aspect that appears to remain canon if the ''Sun and Moon'' seasons of the anime are any indication.

* In ''Anime/MaiHiME'', while most of the [=HiME=]s go to the Academy if they're not employed there, Natsuki is on the rolls but rarely attends class. Nobody makes an issue of it, since it's a SchoolForScheming and Natsuki's involved in chasing down her past, but [[spoiler: in the end, when Natsuki wants to go WalkingTheEarth on a [[JourneyToFindOneself Journey To Find Herself]], she is told quite firmly that she needs to make up all the schooling she's missed]]. Also, near the end, about half the students (including [[spoiler: StudentCouncilPresident Shizuru]]) stop attending at all, because the school's half-destroyed, the {{Masquerade}} has [[BrokenMasquerade completely collapsed]] and there's essentially a war going on; around that point, the school closes and those not involved in the conflict go home.

* Some issues of the Silver/Bronze Age ''{{ComicBook/Superboy}}'' series have Clark get out of class early or skip school (to deal with a threat happening during school hours) by taking advantage of his "mild-mannered" routine, such as pretending to come down with a stomachache.

** ''{{Series/Awkward}}'' is the same - they walk around the halls and go to the cafeteria and gym, but they never sit in a class or do any schoolwork.

* ''Videogame/FinalFantasyVIII'': You have to graduate before you're allowed to adventure, since the "adventuring" is done as a member of an elite mercenary force.

* At the end of ''Videogame/EarthBound'', Ness's sister Tracy says that she'll help Ness with the homework that he missed while off on his adventure. Also, when calling Ness's mom, she will occasionally remark that one of his teachers stopped by, and that she covered for him.

* The below-mentioned example from the ''Pokémon'' anime is inverted in ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'', where Jared's parents thought of him as a failure because he actually ''wanted'' to stay in school rather than become a Pokémon trainer.

** In ''[[Anime/DigimonSavers Savers]]'', while it's implied that Touma has graduated from college and Yoshino is a legal adult (and thus both would be working with DATS full time), Masaru and Chika seem never to go to school toward the end. Meanwhile, Ikuto at least had an excuse, what with having been [[RaisedByWolves raised in the digital world]].
** ''[[Anime/DigimonXrosWars Xros Wars]]'' is similar to ''Frontier'' - YearInsideHourOutside is in effect, so while the story begins during the school semester, school is a non-issue because practically no time has passed.

You've got a great idea. It's this [[KidHero kid]], [[AudienceSurrogate so your target audience can identify with the main character]], traveling around the world, finding {{Plot Coupon}}s and [[SaveTheWorld saving the world]]. Just one problem: How many days of school has the hero missed? Not everybody can fit their adventures into a single summer vacation like [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} Ben Tennyson]], [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Phineas and Ferb]], the [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Pines twins]], or the [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Ed boys]]; you want the adventure to last through times that school is usually in session. But this can be solved by simply [[ElephantInTheLivingRoom never, ever]] [[LawOfConservationOfDetail mentioning it]]! FanWank will take care of the excuses for you!
