As long as they're African dwarf frogs, the fish should be okay. If they're African clawed frogs, the frogs will eat the fish. This link will give you info on the dwarf, with internal links to a clawed frog and how to tell them apart: http://allaboutfrogs.org/info/mypets/dwarfs.html

I have an African Dwaf Frog and a male guppy in the same tank and he just leaves the guppyalone. He might eat little baby fry if you get some but he will definitely not eat a full grown fish. These frogs only get to be about 2 inches long so I'm not sure if they could even fit a guppy in their mouth. What my frog loves to eat, though, are tubifex worms. I toss a cube in the tank and he usually eats the whole thing.
From my experience, these frogs like to eat slow-moving food, not fish. I wouldn't worry about the guppies.

We have 3 Dwarf frogs(yes they are dwarf) and they will eat guppy fry. Our ate about 40, 1 month old fry in about 3 days. Never bothered the adults though

Nope, the class will have more of a problem trying to find something they will eat.
UW frogs are mostly for stores to make money
