Mal has the class first with Jay and Evie sharing it as their sixth class though it is unknown when Carlos has it. It is one of the class Jay excels in, the class is taught by Tinker Bell whose voice can only be heard by her students when wearing headphones.
Life Skills without Magic
Life Skills Without Magic is a class taught by Merryweather. Mal mentions that she had once unsuccessfully tried a spell to turn back time because she was late for Life Skills Without Magic and wound up getting detention. During one of the lessons, Merryweather was going to teach the class how to balance a checkbook. When this was announced, Evie whispered to Mal "What's a checkbook?" (Mal did not know either).
Remedial Goodness 101
Remedial Goodness 101 is a class that is listed as a requirement though it is most likely just a requirement for villain kids seeing as how Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos were the only students. The class is taught by the headmistress, Fairy Godmother.
Safety Rules for The Internet
Safety Rules for the Internet was one of the core requirements that Doug mentioned having registered Mal, Jay, Evie and Carlos for. Not withstanding Remedial Goodness 101, the course is seventh for Mal, second for Jay and Evie and unknown for Carlos. This class may have been helpful because on The Isle of the Lost, there is no Wi-Fi, meaning Mal, Jay, Evie, and Carlos are not accustomed to the internet.
