The plot centers on the lives of schoolchildren—their ups and downs, first loves, friendships, and conflicts with teachers and parents. The main characters face typical adolescent challenges while simultaneously learning the importance of mutual understanding and how to approach various situations with maturity.

Cool School offers young viewers a mirror in which to reflect on their own life experiences—and, perhaps, to learn from the mistakes of others. Thus, the series serves not only to entertain but also to educate, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of children's television.
