Twilight Sparkle and her friends return from [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 stopping the Storm King from taking over Equestria]], and discover the map in her castle has expanded to include the variation locations outside of Equestria they had to visit. Twilight realizes there is a larger world of ponies and other species outside of Equestria that could be dangerous, but they could helps spread the message of friendship too, and she decides to open a school to help teach this. Princess Celestia agrees with Twilight this is a good idea, but cautions her that she will have to get the school approved by the Equestrian Education Association (EEA), which oversees all educational activities in Equestria.

Twilight prepares her plans for the school and presents it to the EEA, led by Chancellor Neighsay. Neighsay is concerned that Twilight and her friends are capable enough to run the school, but grants preliminary approval on the basis that the school will help teach ponies how to protect themselves from threats outside Equestria. Neighsay provides her with a detailed EEA rulebook to follow. Twilight and her friends construct the school next to her castle, and when they open it up, Twilight reveals she not only has brought in pony students, but students from the other kingdoms. This includes Gallus the griffon, Ocellus the changeling, Yona the yak, Silverstream the seapony (who is able to take her hippogriff form at will with help of a necklace), and Smolder the dragon. Those five, along with Seafoam, a local earth pony, become quick friends.

The school seems to start off okay, with Twilight and her friends teaching the students, but Twilight starts recognizing their ways of teaching are against the EEA book, and makes sure both teachers and students conform to the book. This quickly sours the mood at the school, but Twilight insists they need to do this to get EEA accreditation. On the Friends and Family day, during which Chancellor Neighsay plans to review Twilight's efforts, Gallus and Smolder convince their friends to ditch classes. This leads to some panic by Twilight, Starlight Glimmer, and Rainbow Dash when they find they've gone missing while under the eagle-eye of Neighsay. The six students, having spent enough time to relax at a local lake and get to know each other better, decide to fly back to the school; this leads them to ask Ocellus what forms she can transform into a giant insect, just as they near the school where all their family or friends had gathers. This creates a mass panic, quickly ruining the ceremony. The various non-pony guardians decide that the school is not helping teaching their students friendship, and take them away, while Neighsay, discovering that there are non-ponies at the school, immediately closes it, placing a magical lock to prevent anypony entering it.
