SimCity 4/Education

Education is one of the things that are definitely needed if you want higher-wealth people and companies to move into your city.

Unlike with the other types of civic buildings, there is no small-large pair here. Every education building caters to a specific age, and you will need to build all of them for a full education service (although at the beginning, only one should suffice so as to not strain the budget too much.

The following buildings are available, listed in the order of the age group targeted. The college and the museum's effects are city wide, the others operate inside a specific radius. Besides these, the rewards also include the University as well as the Main Library and Major Art Museum.

Private Schools
These can appear in the menu if wealthy people move in and the city's education is low. As they target the rich, it makes no sense to build them in a neighborhood full of poor people. They're free, so there's no disadvantage in building them.
