In ye olden days, people learned skills by being apprenticed to someone, so it was natural to assume that magicians would learn the ropes in the same manner. Then, the modern age saw the rise of public schooling and universities almost completely displace apprenticeship as the means of education. In light of this, some authors decided that the school or university setting was a viable way to educate their magicians. Thus was born the Wizarding School, the institute for education in magic. There the young sorcerers go to learn various forms of rule-based Functional Magic (after all, there's not much one can learn if the magic is random and uncontrollable), divided into different "subjects" or even schools of magic. An exceptional talent may be a prerequisite for entrance, in which case the school is a center for Training the Gift of Magic. Expect plenty of Magi Babble on the tests. And their classrooms would be almost akin to a Wizard Workshop. These come in two varieties: actual schools, and universities. Schools are often boarding schools, with the attendant tropes. The pupils there are children, who leave at sixteen or eighteen. If the pupils are lucky, they'll also get a good Muggle education in math and science when they aren't learning magic words, spells and potions. Universities usually only take students who are nominally young adults, though exceptions may be made for a rare genius prodigy who is an adolescent. The usual university tropes apply. The students will spend half their time drinking in the local bars and seeking romantic trysts; the professors will mix teaching with cutthroat academic politics and magical research. Often the institution where the story is set won't be the only such in the world, though the others don't do very much. A subtrope of Extranormal Institute. Often overlaps with Academy of Adventure and/or Academy of Evil. Compare with All-Ghouls School, Superhero School, and Ninja School. Sometimes comes combined with a Magical Society. noreallife |

In Wizard101, the game starts out inside a university dedicated to teaching magic. The University is divided into six schools: Fire, Storm, Ice, Life, Death, and Myth. Players start out as newly admitted students, and while they do not actually attend any classes in the games, most of the spells a character learns come from the professors of those six schools. (Headmaster Ambrose also hands out a few spells as rewards for specific in-game achievements.) Ravenwood also teaches a seventh school of magic, Balance, despite it not being given a classroom. Instead, its classroom is hidden in Krokotopia. Students of this school learn their first few spells from another person that studied the basics of the school. The worlds of Dragonspyre and Celestia also had academies before they were destroyed by the Dragon and Storm Titans respectively. Fortunately enough of Celestia survived for the player to learn a few spells from the Sun, Moon, and Star schools. There is also the rival school of Pigswick, which features the Expys of Ravenwood's seven schools but with different names and almost backwards philosophies. Also only half the teachers there show any competence in there teaching. One even admits he has no idea what he's doing and is just using the previous professor's notes. |

The Heralds of Valdemar series: There are several schools of magic, which have differing philosophies about how to gather and use Life Energy. The most mentioned one is White Winds, which has several branches due to the fact that graduating mages who reach Master or Adept level are supposed to start schools of their own. Tarma and Kethry (a White Winds mage) set up a combination mage/fighting school toward the end of the Vows and Honor trilogy. In Valdemar itself, before The Magic Goes Away, Herald-Mages are taught their Gift one-on-one. Afterward, the three Collegia (Heralds', Bardic, and Healers') are founded. Students of each Collegium are sponsored by the Crown to come to the capital city and learn, respectively, Psychic Powers, Magic Music, and Healing Hands, in addition to the other skills of each profession. Herald-Mages learn actual magic at Heralds' Collegium once The Magic Comes Back. In the Owls trilogy, it's mentioned that Valdemar is considering setting up a Mages' Collegium so those mages that aren't also Heralds in Valdemar can be trained in, and taught the ethical use of, their powers. |

The Clock Tower in Lord El-Melloi II Case Files, although very little teaching goes on in there, due to the common fear of diluting their magic by teaching others. The main character is notable for being one of the few professors who actually teaches his students and is incredibly efficient at nurturing a student's talents to the point where several of them have attained incredibly high ranks in magic society. | |

Dragon Age: The Chantry-instituted Circles of Magi, with the twist that they also function as prisons to keep mages carefully supervised and away from the general population. As such the academic politics are even more fierce than normal, with the ever-present idea of 'fireballing the guards' proving an attractive idea for many. As mentioned in The Calling, the living arrangements and the rigorous schedules in the Circles tend to get the students to adopt cavalier attitudes towards sex. Young Duncan discovers this, to his delight, when an attractive female mage propositions him. He's not about to say no. The rebel mages eventually reform the College of Enchanters as a more traditional example, either at the end of Dragon Age: Inquisition or its last piece of story DLC. |

The Folklore of Discworld sees a forerunner of this trope in a first-century A.D. Roman account of the schooling of Celtic druids in remote groves and caves for twenty years on end, but notes that it only really flowered with the advent of universities proper during the middle ages. As soon as there were universities, rumors started about there being an evil counterpart, a "black school", where black magic was taught. Frequently actual institutions of learning — in foreign countries, and often associated with a different faith — were suspected of being "black schools". Some examples from legend can also be found under "Literature". | |

The University in Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind, published in 2007, fits into this trope. It is the only school where you can learn the world's particular brand of sympathetic magic and is a boarding school set in a town that is based entirely around The University. Subverted with Naming, where the University is too domesticated and safe for most Namers to find all the names they might at the ends of civilization. "Chasing the Wind" has morphed into a term of derision speaking of futility, but it originally referred to someone going off on adventures to seek the ever-changing Name of the Wind. The Adem mention that they have them. |

In Winx Club, much of the action revolves around the three schools in Magix, including Alfea College for Fairies and Cloudtower School for Witches, all-girl magical schools. The third, Redfountain School for Specialists, is (depending on the translation and season) called a school for 'heroes', 'wizards', and 'magicians'. However, no Redfountain student seems to have magical powers, and when an actual wizard character is introduced, the Specialists are not referenced to be wizards as well. Redfountain appears to be a school for Badass Normals. |

Dracula the Undead (1997): This unauthorized sequel to Dracula features a character named Andre Kovacs who, wanting to learn more about Dracula, begins hunting down the Scholomance. This turns out not to be a particularly good idea, since the Scholomance is depicted as the Devil's school where—as per the myth—one student from each class is sacrificed to pay for the whole class's tuition. | |

True Cross Academy from Blue Exorcist is a subversion. The school itself is pretty ordinary (aside from being absolutely enormous) but just happens to have a secret class that teaches you how to fight demons. | |

Wizard's Hall, published in 1991 by Jane Yolen is somewhat similar to Harry Potter, to the point that Yolen has had to specifically said she doesn't think J. K. Rowling ripped it off. The main character's name is Henry and he has a red-haired friend. However, the systems of magic aren't remotely similar and there are different naming conventions. | |

The Darkwing Duck episode "Hot Spells" takes place at Morgana's old alma mater, "The Eldritch Academy of Enchantment". The plot involved The Devil (disguised as a janitor) trying to trick Gosalyn into taking a shortcut with a forbidden spellbook. Because the episode involved highly around witchcraft and The Devil, it was removed from syndication. | |

The Witcher (2019): Yennefer attends such a school, called Aretuza, under instruction from Tissaia along with many other young women who've been chosen to learn magic. We don't see much detail, though largely it seems to be a boarding school (albeit avoiding the common cliches). Its counterpart for boys, Ban Ard, is mentioned as the place where Istredd studies. | |

Eberron of course has plenty of those. Notable is the Library of Korranberg, as well as the Flying Towers of Aundair, who have a very Hogwarts-like feel, including monsters and constructs roaming the halls, as well as dungeons filled with magical hazards and Malevolent Architecture. Korranberg is downplayed in that it is a general-purpose university in a setting where magic is ubiquitous and important to society—magic may come up in most courses, but that's because (for instance) the architect has to take into account the possibility of incorporating magic into the construction, not because most of the students are mages of some kind. | |

Dragoneyes gives us the University of the Green Tower. The world contains seven magical towers that have existed longer than the human race. The most prestigious of them, Green, was deemed too valuable for any one sorcerer to inhabit, so it is shared among all the hundreds of staff and students. Also most of the plot revolves around the Sealed Evil in a Can lying around the basement. | |

SCP Foundation has the International Center for the Study of Unified Thaumatology: the largest "Magical College" in the modern world and a member organization of the Foundation's rival, the Global Occult Coalition. Little is known about them save that they're headquartered in London and have campuses in all GOC member countries, including Japan, the United States, South Africa, and India. Subverted with Deer college, a university locating in the extra-dimensional city of Three Portlands. While it does boast classes in subjects like Necromancy, divination, and alchemy, it's not primarily focused on these subjects, and actually includes a whole separate section for mundane studies. |

Discworld: The Unseen University, and Bugarup University in The Last Continent, comfortably predates Hogwarts by around fourteen years and are very much a parody of a certain perception of Oxford, Cambridge, and similar institutions. It DOES have students, notably the original versions of Rincewind and the Ponder Stibbons group, but the Faculty almost never teach or tutor them and their main career path seems to be to join the Faculty. Early-Installment Weirdness throws up figures like Igneous Cutwell, but they aren't usual. And now Brazeneck College/University in Pseudopolis, which with the former Dean of UU as the head lends a competitive air to the relationship between it and UU. There's also Bugrup University in Fourecks, which is basically the same only made of corrugated iron and with wizards who wear shorts under their robes and corks on their pointy hats. The Folklore of Discworld sees a forerunner of this trope in a first-century A.D. Roman account of the schooling of Celtic druids in remote groves and caves for twenty years on end, but notes that it only really flowered with the advent of universities proper during the middle ages. As soon as there were universities, rumors started about there being an evil counterpart, a "black school", where black magic was taught. Frequently actual institutions of learning — in foreign countries, and often associated with a different faith — were suspected of being "black schools". Some examples from legend can also be found under "Literature". |

World of Warcraft: Stormwind has the Academy of Arcane Arts and Sciences, housed in the Mage Tower, the centerpiece of the Mage Quarter in the human capital of Stormwind. It has little significance in the actual game, however, except providing a few mage trainers and mage-specific quests. The Scholomance (note the Shout-Out to the older version, see under Literature) instance is a Wizarding School in the Western Plaguelands catering entirely to necromancers. Hearthstone created a Lighter and Softer version of it for the expansion Scholomance Academy, a Wizarding School for aspiring adventurers (with majors for non-magic subjects), taking place in a time before the faculty started practicing necromancy. Both Dalaran, a magocracy and Silvermoon (not a magocracy though heavily influenced by the Magisters) are mentioned to have these too in background materials. |

Caithnard in The Riddle Master Trilogy by Patricia A. McKillip, begun in 1976, was originally a wizarding school until the wizards all mysteriously disappeared. Now it is a school for those who study the mysterious and dangerous riddles left behind by the wizards. Before that, Lungold. Unfortunately, its founder, Ghisteslwchlohm, turned out to be an Evil Sorcerer — he used the school to gather all the wizards together, steal important prophetic knowledge from them, and then destroyed it and them so they couldn't interfere with his plans. |

Dracula: The eponymous vampire is said to have studied at The Scholomance and learned every conceivable branch of knowledge (including, in some tellings, the knowledge of how to become a vampire in the first place). Van Helsing also notes that, of those who study at the Scholomance, the Devil 'claims the tenth scholar as his due,' matching the original myth. Dracula the Undead (1997): This unauthorized sequel to Dracula features a character named Andre Kovacs who, wanting to learn more about Dracula, begins hunting down the Scholomance. This turns out not to be a particularly good idea, since the Scholomance is depicted as the Devil's school where—as per the myth—one student from each class is sacrificed to pay for the whole class's tuition. Anno Dracula: This alternative version of the Dracula story (which features Dracula defeating Van Helsing) also mentions Dracula studying at the Scholomance. |

Skyrim has the College of Winterhold, the only place in the game where you can learn master-level magical spells. The College's relationship with the rest of Skyrim is strained, first because the Nords are a Proud Warrior Race that Does Not Like Magic, and second because the College is one of the few structures in Winterhold that was not damaged when most of the city fell into the sea in the Great Collapse, which the locals blame on the mages' experiments. It doesn't help that the College has no ban on things like necromancy or conjuring atronachs, and beneath its dorms and lecture halls lies a veritable dungeon containing monsters and the aftermath of dangerous rituals - the College questline even involves uncovering a potent magical artifact that summons a flood of arcane monsters to menace Winterhold and nearly destroys the world. But Nords do appreciate the Restoration school and enchanted weapons, so they'll always have a use for the College, if nothing else. | |

A non-boarding school example in Night Watch (Series). Also different in that, since Others can be discovered and initiated at any age, the school is unlikely to have only children. There is only one teacher in the Moscow Night Watch. It's mentioned that, when the latest Moscow Night Watch HQ was built, they planned for 3 floors' worth of classrooms. However, since only a few Others are initiated and agree to join the Watch each year, they almost never use more than 1 floor. The Moscow Day Watch is also mentioned to have its own school, but it has never been described, although it's mentioned that, since there are proportionally about 16 Dark Other to 1 Light Other, the Day Watch school is usually packed. The spin-off novel School Supervision takes place at a special boarding school set up by the Inquisition to teach a group of Other (both Light and Dark) teens who are troubled for one reason or another. All teachers are either members of the Inquisition or are sworn to be unbiased to one side or the other. The authors frequently refer to Harry Potter, pointing out differences, such as students playing normal sports games and using laptops in class (justified, since they're trained to live amongst humans). | |

The Heptagram in Exalted, of course. Think of it as Hogwarts meets Gossip Girl with more than a few elements of the aforementioned Scholomance. There used to be a second school on the same island, but... something happened... and now the old site is sowed with salt and covered with mystical sigils. Exalted actually has a lot of these. Lookshy has an academy for those wanting to study Magitek, the Sidereals have Department 137 of the Forbidding Manse of Ivy, and the Underworld has the Raiton Academy for the tutelage of necromancy. |

In the 2000 AD strip Lowborn High, Wychdusk Manor is the classic boarding school type, where the most elite of magical teenagers (defined by both position in one of the senior wizarding families, and magical skill demonstrated in tests) learn how to become the next generation of powerful archmages. Lowborn High School, on the other hand, is where the other magic kids go, and is the wizarding equivalent of The Good Old British Comp. There is also mention of magic prep schools, which administer the aforementioned tests. | |

The Owl House gives us Hexside Academy of Magic and Demonics. Two other schools, Glandis High and St. Epiderm, are mentioned as well. Like the rest of the Boiling Isles, personal safety is not a priority, with yearly events where students have to fight monsters that feed on their fear, or literal monsters as hall monitors. The principal does draw the line at actually harming the students, however. | |

Pathfinder has several of these: the Arcanamirum in Absalom, the Acadamae in Varisia, the Ebon Mausoleum in Geb, and the various arcane colleges in the Magocracy of Nex. The oldest and arguably most prestigious is the Magaambya in the Mwangi Expanse, the setting of the Strength of Thousands adventure path. In Starfinder, the Arcanamirum still exists on Abasalom Station even after the disappearance of Golarion. |

A Wizarding School plays into the backstory of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger's Yakumo; in a clear Shout-Out to Harry Potter, the few images we get of the school and its uniforms are clearly inspired by Hogwarts. In one episode a pre-teen classmate with a Precocious Crush on Yakumo visits and causes trouble, and at the end of the episode she goes home with one of the teachers — who turns out to be Tsubasa Ozu, Mahou Sentai Magiranger's Yellow Ranger. In the Where Are They Now scene in the finale, we see that Yakumo has himself become a teacher at the school. | |

Dungeons & Dragons Castle Greyhawk's Tower Of Magic was this in the backstory. Having classrooms, libraries, workshops, and dormitories for the wizard Zagyg's apprentices. The Known World setting (aka Mystara) has a few of those, notably the Great School of Magic set in the wizard-ruled nation of Glantri. Eberron of course has plenty of those. Notable is the Library of Korranberg, as well as the Flying Towers of Aundair, who have a very Hogwarts-like feel, including monsters and constructs roaming the halls, as well as dungeons filled with magical hazards and Malevolent Architecture. Korranberg is downplayed in that it is a general-purpose university in a setting where magic is ubiquitous and important to society—magic may come up in most courses, but that's because (for instance) the architect has to take into account the possibility of incorporating magic into the construction, not because most of the students are mages of some kind. Forgotten Realms Thay is an Evil Empire with several academies to train their Red Wizards. More than one sourcebook noted that the founding of academies for wizards is fairly common throughout Faerûn—it's just that, for one reason or the other, most of those academies don't last all that long. The city of Waterdeep has multiple schools, the largest being the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors which, as its name suggests, is also the Wizards' Guild and the Magic Police. 2nd Edition supplement College of Wizardry. The castle of Mathghamgna holds the title school. in addition to teaching aspiring wizards, it searches for the Language Primeval, which is the language of magic. The Dragon magazine #123 article "The Mystic College" had rules for creating and running a college of magic. #338 had "Schools of Magic", which featured several, all with a specialty that didn't fit D&D's traditional "schools", ranging from a Military Academy for war wizards to an arctic fortress that taught spells relating to cold and ice. A supplement for 5th edition added a setting (and character classes for) the magical school of Strixhaven from Magic: The Gathering, below. The Horde boxed set. The city of Dhaztenar in Semphar has a college of wizards supported by the treasury of the Caliph. The Dragonlance setting had the Towers of High Sorcery. One of their functions was the training and testing of new magic users. |

Forgotten Realms Thay is an Evil Empire with several academies to train their Red Wizards. More than one sourcebook noted that the founding of academies for wizards is fairly common throughout Faerûn—it's just that, for one reason or the other, most of those academies don't last all that long. The city of Waterdeep has multiple schools, the largest being the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors which, as its name suggests, is also the Wizards' Guild and the Magic Police. |

The Tough Guide to Fantasyland, explores this trope, like most standard fantasy ones. It's called the "Invisible College", described as being like an Oxbridge university. Within, if anything with magic can go wrong, it will. Students should be prepared for every type of magical accident possible. Note this was written before Harry Potter, which codified the "wizarding school as UK boarding school" trope. In Year Of The Griffin which is set in a very similar universe, Elda the griffin goes to Wizards University. | |

Kamar Taj in Doctor Strange (2016) is a temple Hidden in Plain Sight in Kathmandu, Nepal where the Ancient One and the Masters of the Mystic Arts live. There, ordinary men and women whom the Ancient One considers worthy are taught to draw energy from other dimensions into the form of magic, learning Supernatural Martial Arts and various other forms of sorcery. Students are allowed the option to leave with what they learned if they want (as was the case with Jonathan Pangborn) or stay and defend Earth's dimension from anything that seeks to threaten it. Kamar Taj is one of the rare examples of the trope that is a school for adults, though at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, 14-year old America Chavez is learning there. | |

Most schools in advanced magical countries have magical courses for basic spells, and doctorates in Thaumaturgy are available from most colleges and universities.

Motherland: Fort Salem: Fort Salem is where the witches learn how to use their powers. It is officially a training ground after their conscription into the US Army, but how much it resembles actual military training varies. After the initial year some cadets proceed to 'War College' which is even more this. | |

Rolemaster Shadow World setting Journey to the Magic Isle. The title island holds the University of Magic Arts, where students can learn a wide variety of magical techniques. Star Crown Empire and the Seas of Fate. The nation of Fydon Fey is the home of the Great Colleges of Sorcery. They're rather important because the country's class system is based on magical and intellectual ability. Nomads of the Nine Nations. In all the Jan, Balaan, and Shoneb Empire, the only place to study magic is the Academy of Dar-e'sen in Ghagian. The most powerful archmages, the Senjamade, live, study, and teach there. |

Fire Emblem on Forums: Chains of Horai: Mitakihara in the Kingdom of Ryukyu is an entire city devoted to this, while Hokuto boasts the Kobayakawa and Mizuno Pharmacies. Actual magic is less emphasised in the third Pharmacy, Yuuna, which focuses instead on alchemy. Solrise Academy: The titular academy and others like it teach Arcane Crystallurgy, the local form of magic, as regular classes, with faculty members devoted to it. Professor Estelle in particular has a doctorate on the subject. |

The Elder Scrolls Throughout the series and in the backstory, many such institutions are present. Many are dedicated to Julianos, the Aedric Divine of Wisdom and Logic, who also has an association with magic. These are unsurprisingly popular in the homelands of Mage Species races, such as the Summerset Isles (home of the Altmer (High Elves) and High Rock (home of the Bretons). Even in places home to races who have a cultural dislike of magic, such as Skyrim (home of the Nords) and Hammerfell (home of the Redguards), some sort of establishment of magical learning is still present. An especially notable one is run by the Psijic Order on the isle of Artaeum in the Summerset Isles. The oldest monastic group in Tamriel, the Psijic Order is a secretive magical society founded during the ancient times by an Aldmeri sect who rejected the transition to Aedra worship from ancestor worship, known to them as the "Old Way" or "Elder Way." Throughout history, they have variously served as advisors to royalty or have withdrawn completely from outside affairs, depending on the political climate at the time. Both the Mages Guild and the Order of the Black Worm were founded by former Psijics. While primarily made up of Altmer, they have been known to include magically adept members of other races as well, though their selection process is "complex" and "ritualized", and "not understood by the common man". The Imperial Battlespire was a magical training ground for the Imperial Battlemages. It was located in the "Slipstream", an area separating Mundus (the mortal plane) from Oblivion. During the events of the eponymous Dungeon Crawl spin-off game, it is invaded by the forces of Mehrunes Dagon, Daedric Prince of Destruction. During the events of Battlespire, while the Hero of the Battlespire is able to repel the invasion and banish Dagon back to Oblivion, the Battlespire is destroyed. The Arcane University in Cyrodiil's Imperial City was another notable example. It served as the headquarters of the Mages Guild until the Guild's collapse in the early 4th Era. The university grounds were guarded by Imperial Battlemages of the Shadow Legion, a magic-using legion who were once trained in the Battlespire. In the center of the district is the Arch-Mage's Tower. The tower contained the Council Chamber, the Arch-Mage's living quarters, and a ground floor open to the public. The chambers were linked by magical teleportation pads. Accessible from the tower was the Imperial Orrery, a reconstructed Dwemer machine used to chart the heavens. The university contained a Chironasium for enchanting, a Lustratorium for alchemy, a Praxographical Center for spell making, and quarters and practice rooms for permanent residents. The Mystic Archives had a large collection of books and notes. The grounds also contained an alchemical garden, an outdoors lecture area, and an Imperial watchtower for the Battlemages. The University itself can be visited in Oblivion Mages Guild quest line. Skyrim has the College of Winterhold, the only place in the game where you can learn master-level magical spells. The College's relationship with the rest of Skyrim is strained, first because the Nords are a Proud Warrior Race that Does Not Like Magic, and second because the College is one of the few structures in Winterhold that was not damaged when most of the city fell into the sea in the Great Collapse, which the locals blame on the mages' experiments. It doesn't help that the College has no ban on things like necromancy or conjuring atronachs, and beneath its dorms and lecture halls lies a veritable dungeon containing monsters and the aftermath of dangerous rituals - the College questline even involves uncovering a potent magical artifact that summons a flood of arcane monsters to menace Winterhold and nearly destroys the world. But Nords do appreciate the Restoration school and enchanted weapons, so they'll always have a use for the College, if nothing else. |

The Palace of the Prophets from Sword of Truth, which was first published in 1994. Bonus points for being built as a spell-form, preventing the Sorceresses, Wizards, and especially the Prophets from aging, allowing them to accrue truly terrifying amounts of knowledge.

There are a few in Magic: The Gathering, including the Conclave of Mages and the School of the Unseen from the Ice Age cycle, but the most important (and the one with the most game-breaking card) is the Tolarian Academy. The most famous school in the multiverse is apparently Strixhaven, located on the plane of Arcavios and the focus of the set Strixhaven: School of Mages; this latter example is rather unique in that the actual topics are fairly mundane academic ones (history, mathematics, biology, arts and crafts, literature) but done through magic (e.g. the Lorehold college studies history by using White Magic to raise spirits from the dead). | |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades takes place almost entirely within the walls of Kimberly Magic Academy, where magically talented students enroll at age 15 for seven years of Training from Hell: Wizard Duels are the preferred way to resolve intramural disputes, and the Academy sits on top of an ancient labyrinth that tends to encroach upon the school building at night and the faculty tend to turn a blind eye to what goes on there. They proudly boast that one in five entrants will not survive to graduate, asking only that you leave some worthwhile research behind. All this is justified by the fact that Kimberly is essentially a vocational school for Gnostic Hunters, an order of Military Mages that fights to prevent invasions by Eldritch Abominations from other worlds and root out their cults in this one. Other wizarding schools exist in the setting (Kimberly is kind of the Thug Dojo to the more liberal Featherston Sorcery School in a nearby town), but Kimberly is by far the most prominent. | |

Innsmouth Academy in The Secret World. On the surface, it's merely an elite East Coast prep school. In actuality, it is an Illuminati-run academy that teaches such things as applied necromancy, arcane geometry, parapsychology, and cryptozoology, with most of its students being either gifted psychics, the children of Illuminati members, or both. Lore entries reveal that a good chunk of the faculty's work is dedicated to covering up all the supernatural activity that seeps into the nearby town of Kingsmouth, Maine. Of course, by the time you get there the place is overrun with insane familiars and pissed-off spectral faculty and alumni, with only the headmaster, one teacher, and one student still holding out, having placed protective wards around the administrative office. | |

The Magicians by Lev Grossman and published in 2009, has multiple. Brakebills is a wizarding university in upstate New York; it has an insanely difficult entrance exam and time there is out of sync with time in the rest of the world. Brakebills also has a second campus in Antarctica, where students in their fourth year are sent for intensive magical education under Professor Mayakovsky. The second book introduces hedge mages and their safe houses. In these otherwise normal houses, mostly adult mages who couldn't get into the Brakebills type schools learn magic illegally. They are linked by a worldwide Portal Network of Magic Mirrors. |

Shadowrun: MIT becomes MIT&T ("Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Thaumaturgy") post-Awakening and is a top research school in both fields. Most major universities have a department of magical studies. Notable is Charles University, where the Great Dragon Schwartzkopf is a lecturer.

Warhammer: The Empire has the Eight Colleges of Magic. They're a relatively new institution, only about two hundred years old, and were founded with the help of the High Elven archmage Teclis in the aftermath of the Great War against Chaos. Before this, the only mages in the Empire were "hedge wizards" who learned through independent experimentation, which led a good number of them to either get themselves killed or corrupted by The Dark Arts. In these modern, enlightened times, a potential wizard who isn't killed by superstitious peasants has the choice of joining a sanctioned college or being burned at the stake. Each college specializes in one of the eight Winds of Magic — Light, Metal, Life, Heavens, Shadow, Death, Fire, and Beasts — because unlike the High Elves, Puny Humans can only hope to grasp one aspect of magic. The Colleges work more like medieval guilds than modern schools, offering a system of apprenticeships for fledgling magic-users, specialized training for more advanced wizards, and the ability for full-fledged members to conduct their own personal research. The High Elves in contrast study what they call High Magic, blending all the Winds of Magic at once, under the Loremasters of the famed White Tower of Hoeth in the kingdom of Saphery. The institution also teaches absurdly-skilled ascetic warrior-scholars the art of the sword, and these Swordmasters act as the Tower's emissaries, guardians, and agents in the outside world. The Dark Elves have the Seven Convents of Sorceresses. They exclusively train females, as the Witch King Malekith wishes to avert a prophecy that he will be overthrown by a firstborn son wielding dark magic. Any Dark Elf Sorcerers are typically self-taught and have to keep a low profile if they want to keep their heads. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic briefly mentions Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, whose name is a Shout-Out to Professor Xavier's School. There's also a reference to "magic kindergarten," which if real is likely Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a school of magic for young unicorns. | |

Child of the Storm has the traditional Harry Potter examples, including Hogwarts itself, along with an alluded to academy in Wakanda, and fully-fledged school that existed in Camelot back when it was around. However, not all mages go to such schools, primarily being used by Wanded practitioners. Wandless, on the other hand, tend to undergo apprenticeships, in part due to the somewhat random development of their powers (manifesting anywhere between the ages of 10 and 16), and often more unique nature. In the sequel, Doctor Strange decides to make partial amends for his habit of not taking many students. He's been around for millennia, been Sorcerer Supreme for centuries, and that's not including the time travelling, which puts his actual age at around 500,000 years old - and it's 'around' because after a certain point he got bored and stopped counting. And in all that time, he's only had four named students: Baron Mordo, Wanda Maximoff, Margaret Le Fay a.k.a. Margaret Dresden, and Harry Thorson- another, so far unnamed, has been alluded to. He takes the last of those students, Harry, in the sequel itself. Apparently the reason he didn't take more was that it usually went badly. He does this by, after the First Task, setting up a kind of magical university, observing that tertiary education is rare in the magical world. As for the facilities, he uses the opportunity given by the need to repair the Hogwarts grounds - devastated by an Elder Wyrm, a planet-killing dragon the size of a small mountain, which among other things created a volcano that Strange transmuted to vibranium and mithril ore with the Philosopher's Stone because he does stuff like that - to take on the job himself, set up an accelerated time bubble, and with a bit of tweaked Atlantean Magitek, build a tower jutting out of the mountain that strongly resembles "a palette-swapped Isengard." Oh, and it's funded not only by the mines beneath, but some of his extensive bank accounts and includes a lot of his vast collection of books of magic, some of which he wrote himself. |

Students enter at age fourteen unless given a special dispensation to enter a year early, and stay four years; and are sorted according to their specialties into one of seven houses named after various famous sorcerers (Dee, Drake, Dare, etc.) Roanoke is not the only magical school in the world, but it is the only one to offer instruction in all seven branches of magic. | |

Two other academies are mentioned, the Atlas Academy in Egypt, and the Wandering Sea which moves around Scandinavian waters, all under the umbrella of the Mage's Association. Mages are expected to take care of their children's magical education themselves, and to self-study when they're not at one of the academies. The Association has its own paramilitary force, the Enforcers, whose job it is to keep the various mages of the world in line with the Association's rules, as well as do some vampire hunting on the side. | |

Elsewhere, it is now becoming a norm for girls with an aptitude for witchcraft to attend conventional schools first, or at least till around age thirteen or fourteen, before coming to Lancre to train as Witches. Miss Perspicacia Tick is a "consultant teacher" who advises on the practicalities of this with institutions such as the Quirm College for Girls, or the Convent School of Seven-Handed Sek. Olga Romanoff, a senior Witch in Ankh-Morpork, is known to be concerned that post-primary education for young Witches is scrappy and patchy, and wants her Air Watch cadets to be literate in things like science and technology as well as magic. She has therefore persuaded Sam Vimes to pay for a Watch Education Officer, a suitably experienced teacher who takes the Cadets several times a week to ensure they get some sort of classroom education. | |

GURPS The IOU supplement had Illuminati University, which covers more than just magic. Classes include hysteria and future history, the botany building is a tree, and destruction of any planetary bodies requires written permission from the Arch-Dean (who, according to rumor within the setting, is either a former angel, a former demon, or both—the art, done by Phil Foglio of Girl Genius fame, depicts her with both a halo and devil horns). The Technomancer world is a Magitek setting where magic returned to the world with the first atomic explosion in 1945. Most schools in advanced magical countries have magical courses for basic spells, and doctorates in Thaumaturgy are available from most colleges and universities. The main one is the University of Texas at El Paso, because El Paso is the city closest to Los Alamos, and therefore near the centre of the Manafall. In addition, a medieval school for wizards has been added as a setting in the Fourth Edition supplement GURPS Locations: Worminghall. Being a medieval university, it looks more like a hybrid of the apprenticeship model, the modern university, and a powerful street gang. |

Wistram, in The Wandering Inn, is the most prominent school for [Mages], but has been in decline for over a century, ever since a long-dead [Archmage] locked off the upper floors. It is rivaled by other magical schools, though none with the same power and independence that basically allows Wistram to be its own city-state. | |

In The Bartimaeus Trilogy, first published in 2003, this trope is averted, although it's mentioned and dismissed by the titular demon: magicians are often power-hungry and corrupt (like many Real Life politicians) and keep their knowledge to themselves as much as they can, so schools are out of the question; instead, the next generation of magicians are taken from parents who don't want them (since magicians are forbidden from having children) and taught singly by each magician. | |

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: A boy Sabrina knows from The Other Realm, sends a clone to his magic high school in his place so he can go on a date with Sabrina. Aunt Zelda attended the Other Realm University and hoped Sabrina would follow in her footsteps. There was a Poorly Disguised Pilot featuring Sabrina's cousin Amanda going to a delinquent witch school on Earth called Witchright Hall. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina reboot has a witch boarding school called The Academy of Unseen Arts. |

Bloor's Academy in Children of the Red King is technically a prestigious school for artistically talented children, and also technically does not teach magic. However, it's an open secret that any (story-relevant, at least) child with magical talents will end up attending, as part of a slow cold war between schismatic branches of their Tangled Family Tree (which founded and runs Bloor's). This also means such children will be receiving any instruction in magic-aligned family members will give them. | |
