My reflex is to go with {jeS}. {qIm} works only partly, since it
does not associate the purpose of the school with the stuff one
is paying attention to. {Such} similarly doesn't cut it because
it does not carry any sense of purpose. The mission is always
important to a Klingon, so I'd expect {jeS} to describe what one
does in a new school.
