CLASSES

So, you want to know what it's like taking classes in the keeper world, huh? You might be surprised that it's not very different from your own school! 

True, you perform magic here; however, just like you do in your school, keepers take tests, attend class trips, and compete against one another. 

Get to know what it's like to be a keeper student by perusing the lists below!
school faq
  • School here is held year round, with breaks occurring two or three weeks at a time throughout the year. 
  • One of two times during the year, students take a weekend/week long trip with their classmates and teachers, journeying to a different school in a different country. 
  • Exams fall on the first and third Thursday of every month.
  • Friday are shorter days for student duels / joint class testing.
  • At the end of the "year" (before a month long break) there is a top student competition in each school, in each grade (see school wide competition below).
duels
  • So, what exactly are duels? They're a time at the end of the week where students can take what they've learned and compete against another class at another school. Duels also allow teachers to show off how well they've taught their students. And? They help keepers get to know other students. After all, students rarely visit other schools. 
  • Students take duels very seriously. Each win equals points. At the end of the "year" the points are added up and the top three groups compete for top honors. 
School wide competition
  • At the end of every "year" there will be a top student competition held in each school, in each grade. The top three of each class will compete against each other and the winners of each class will go on to compete against the other schools' winners.
  • The final winner will get to choose a school gift. Such as? Alyssus, who has won numerous times, chose switchboards to use during lunch; a magical telescope; and magically updating history books to replace the old torn scrolls.
