Alexandria -1

The Alexandria Academia of Magical Knowledge is the oldest wizarding school that is still standing to this day. Located near the infamous library of Alexandria, it used to coexist with the muggle school, but now is hidden under the ruins of the previous institute. It accepts students from 30 different countries, spanning the entire middle east, stretching as far from Morocco to Pakistan.

Unlike it's British counterpart, Alexandria divides it's students based off of five main capabilities: Potions, Dark Arts, Divination, Astronomy and Magizoology or Herbology. Additionally, the school houses are called 'Dytikis', from the Greek 'Dynitikós', the original language of the school, wich means 'potential'.

Chronos is a place of deep reflection and insight, with the students studying and attempting to predict the future with the help of potions and other magical ingredients and techniques.

It's a place where students experiment with astrology, alchemy, and other methods of observing and interpreting the movements and locations of stars and constellations.

Pan House: Pan was the Greek deity of the forests and nature, and is often seen as the source of wild creatures and plants.
