OSWALD ACADEMY OF MAGICAL PROPERTIES~

Information: Lessons/Mentors

Lessons:

First years:
First years start off with basic classes such as teleportation, animal care, tool bonding and basic potion making etc, for the first month before they get divided into their clans. Once in their clans they will continue taking the basics such as teleportation etc. but for set clans they will start working on improving certain lessons such as Biology for Doves, Chemistry for Ravens, Physics for Owls and Engineering for the Falcons.

Second, third, fourth and fifth years:
They will continue on with the same classes, however they will no longer have lessons on teleportation and basic potion making. They will also have lessons such as maths and english and other basic classes for their futures, and in the fifth year they can begin thinking about possible career subjects they would want to take in order to pursue a set career when leaving the academy. 4th years will also get the chance to become mentors to first year students which will continue until the older students leave.

Sixth, seventh and eighth years:
The final three years will start working on their career subjects such as veterinary, mechanics, further chemistry etc, however some students from other clans can cross over with what careers they want to do in the future as the lessons aren't set for each clan.

The timetables also vary for each clan, most older Dove members have midnight classes as witchcraft magic is stronger at night than it is during the day, however this tends to usually be on a friday and a saturday to avoid sleeping in classes. They don't work during full moons or new moons since the Owls also work better in the night to have more power for their magics. The Doves also have several dance lessons throughout the week, having all day rehearsals on sundays.

Mentors:
Mentors are a vital part to training the first years up to fourth years, they can help the younger years with anything they need help with- from bullying problems to help with homework. The mentor has to be in the same clan as the mentee so they can work together in the same space.
Students can choose whether or not they want to become a mentor, most fourth years agreeing to help younger students like how they were helped by the now eighth years.
