Background

Conan's blue uniform. The shorts are supported by suspenders. The back of the jacket is plain.

Teitan Elementary School is a coeducational school serving grades 1-5. It is affiliated with Teitan Middle School, Teitan High School, and 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.[1] According to the anime, the new school building was constructed 30 years ago.[2] 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.[3]

Layout and facilities

Genta's locker has a sign on it adverting the services of the Detective Boys Club and where students may drop off case requests. Ran has once received a letter from a secret admirer in her shoe locker in a filler episode, and Shinichi has been shown to have gotten lots of fanmail in the first live action movie.

There was a turtle but it died during the summer but back at Agasa time at Teitan Elementary school other than the turtle they had chicken.[6]According Mitsuhiko the recently deceased turtle was the the third turtle every time one dies a new turtle is sent from a zoo. A alumini of Teitan Elementary named who later became owner of the Tohto Zoo who would give the school a turtle as a toast to the children’s health.[7]The pet hutches are first shown in Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule also revealed the school gotten a new black rabbit.[8]
