Students in Japan can now attend a high school in the Metaverse and earn real-world diplomas.

AOMINEXT, a Japanese VR developer, has launched a project in collaboration with a real high school. The virtual world features a three-year course recognized by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

Students attending this Metaverse high school will get VR equipment for free and can attend classes from anywhere. They’ll use 3D avatars that are all anime-styled and customizable by each student. 

The school’s official site says the virtual classroom lets you “be yourself without being constrained by your appearance.”
