Main Characters
The diverse class is more than likely in the third grade, as Dorothy Ann celebrated her 9th birthday in "Sees Stars", making the class 8 and 9 years old. In the computer game The Magic School Bus Explores the World of Animals, Phoebe mentions that the class is in the third grade. The school is located in Walkerville, USA, seen in Ep. 24, Out of this World. Note that the books include additional students not seen in the TV adaptation (although Rachel, John, Carmen, and Michael made a few cameos). Only eight of Mrs. Frizzle's students appear in every episode and regularly attend field trips. Additionally, Arnold's cousin Janet accompanies them sometimes. The child actors voicing the students often provided the voices of the callers as well.

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or characters:
“One of the main things that interfere with our joy is the belief that if we try hard enough, read the right books, follow the right advice, and buy the right things, we could be perfect parents. If we are good enough as parents, our children will be perfect too.... Unfortunately, what comes from trying to live out this philosophy is not perfect children but worried parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Of the other characters in the book there is, likewise, little to say. The most endearing one is obviously the old Captain Maksim Maksimich, stolid, gruff, naively poetical, matter-of- fact, simple-hearted, and completely neurotic.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
