Alma Aleron School of Magical Humanities and Spellcraft is an American wizarding school district located in Pennsylvania. One of the two known wizarding schools in the United States, it teaches young witches and wizards of the magical arts.
Like other schools of its kind, its precise location has never been uncovered since it's been rendered "unplottable," a security measure used to keep its ways of teaching from being revealed to the world, as well as to protect the students and school itself from any harm that would come across.
The staff and administration are currently lead by Professor Benjamin Amadeus Franklyn.
History[]
Founded in 1688 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by professors Percival Pepperpock, Joanna Tempestra Newton, and John Jacob Roberts, Alma Aleron functions as both a preparatory school and university of higher learning, making it the largest wizarding college in North America. With a nearly three hundred acre unplottable campus, the university incorporates everything its students need for both a rich academic and social life during their tenure.
Houses[]
Students that attend Alma Aleron are divided into six individual fraternities, or "houses" : Bigfoot, Pixie, Vampire, Werewolf, Zombie, and Igor.
