Life is a high school and classmate is a real-life high school as they learn and study.

This is the premise of High School Life, which aired its pilot episode yesterday, October 3, on IBC-13's afternoon block.

This school-themed teleserye is topbilled by Kapinoy teen stars Gabbi Garica (whose teleserye are the supporting role in the 2014 fantasy series Janella in Wonderland and the main role in the 2015 romantic drama series Before I Fall in Love, and also currently stars in GMA's telefantasya Encantadia and a supporting role in IBC-13's top-rating sitcom Maya Loves Sir Chief) and Ysabel Ortega (whose teleserye are the supporting role in the 2014 fantasy series Janella in Wonderland and the main role in the afternoon drama series Anna Luna in 2015), who gets her biggest TV break through this show.

High School Life also serves as the fifth project of BJ Forbes after Janella in Wonderland, Kailangan Kita, Before I Fall in Love, Forever Barkada and My Princess.

Paolo Santiago will showcast his acting chops for the first time in a TV drama after starting in the afternoo drama series Anna Luna and the primetime drama series Paano Kita Iibigin in 2015 and he also portrayed a supporting role in the top-rating sitcom Maya Loves Sir Chief.

Playing important roles in this new TV drama are the 43-year-old actor Diether Ocampo whose return to the Kapinoy network after Safe In The Arms of Love in 2013 and 26-year-old actress Shaina Magdayao, who landed as her first project.

In a special screening held last Sunday night, December 6 at the Broadcast City, the cast members, fans, and members of the press were able to see what will transpire in the pilot week of High School Life.
