As Winter 2024 approaches, Classroom of the Elite Season 3, a highly-anticipated anime, is ready to unveil its release date.
Classroom of the Elite Season 3 is scheduled for Winter 2024 and falls under the psychological thriller genre, centered around high school students. The narrative unfolds in the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, with a focus on the protagonist, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Classroom of the Elite Season 3 Trailer and What To Expect
KADOKAWAanime has unveiled the initial trailer for Classroom of the Elite Season 3 on YouTube, accompanied by the season’s overview. The synopsis reads:
“3rd Term Introduction: Tokyo Advanced High School, with its idyllic 100% progression and employment rates, offering monthly rewards of 100,000 yen, is a dream-like institution. However, the reality unveils a merit-based system, favoring only a select few students with exceptional grades.
“In the third semester, Ayanokoji and his companions ascend from D class to C class and embark on a journey to forest school. The upcoming challenge is a special examination known as a ‘mixed training camp,’ conducted collaboratively across all grades. In this test, students are grouped by gender and evaluated on a team-by-team basis.
“The students are confronted with the unsettling reality that achieving a high score necessitates cooperation with students from rival classes, and above all, they are dismayed by the rule that failure to meet the specified threshold will result in expulsion. The tumultuous third semester, promising upheaval, is on the brink of commencement!”
