Teitan Elementary School is a coeducational school serving grades 1-5. It is affiliated with [[Setting#Teitan Middle School|Teitan Middle School]], [[Setting#Teitan High School|Teitan High School]], and [[Setting#Teitan University|Teitan University]]. Teitan Elementary School has been around for a long time, but the timeline is somewhat conflicted as to when it began. Agasa attended Teitan elementary which means it is as least 40 years old; however, the first graduating class based on Sumiko Kobayashi's history is 33-34 years ago.<ref>She was in the 18th graduating class according to the [[Volume 71#The VHS of Memories|The VHS of Memories]], her current age is 26, and assuming she graduated from fifth grade at the age of 10-11, then she graduated 15-16 years ago + 18 previous graduating classes means the first graduating class is 33-34 years ago.</ref> According to the anime, the new school building was constructed 30 years ago.<ref>Anime 606-607, [[Courtroom Confrontation IV: Juror Sumiko Kobayashi]]</ref> Unlike Teitan High, Teitan Elementary does not currently require a uniform. However, it is worth noting that, in the anime, Shinichi referred to the classic "blue jacket over a white shirt with a red bowtie" outfit he first wore as Conan as his old primary school uniform, implying Teitan Elementary at one point did require uniforms.<ref>[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 002: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]]</ref>
