Seondeok Masul Haggyo is located in a magically protected valley on a volcanic island in the present-day waters of South Korea. The students there are particularly interested in astronomy, Asian astrology, and reading the future using the celestial heavens. They study from observatory towers located on the hills and mountains that surround their castle. The young witches and wizards dress in silk hanboks. It doesn't get too cold in general, due to the limited cloud cover which makes the island an excellent place for stargazing. The colors of their cloaks signify their year of mastery and their clasps denote their houses.

I attend The Lakewood School. As its name suggests it is situated in the town of Lakewood, which as that name suggests is a town with both a wood and a lake near by. The climate is quite warn so shorts and a shirt are the main uniform, worn with a vest when the weather is a bit cooler. Never a need for trousers, jumper or blazer.

I thought I'd try Beauxbatons (seeing as their female students all looked pretty, I thought it'd be fun to send a werewolf there :P). She has to pose outside of course - they were a bit reluctant to let her into their main hall.

Archamageia Academy is a Greek school of magic located on an isolated island south of Santorini. The school has been open since the days of the ancient Grecian empire and still, to this day, incorporates much of the ancient Greek muggle cultural practice into its runnings. Similarly to how Hogwarts sorts its students, those attending Archamageia are directed into a house by an oracle at the beginning of their first year, and move on to reside with others in their house throughout their studies. At this school, however, there are 12 houses – one for each god or goddess in the Greek pantheon.

The uniforms are simple – plain, white linen robes to ward off the heat and humidity with a sash of a different color to identify which house a student belongs to. In this HA, for example, the student is a member of Hades house, with a black sash. Students belonging to this house have a particular penchant for curses and magic that helps in the deceit of others, such as the brewing of a polyjuice potion. Additionally, unlike most witches and wizards, students at Archamageia use staves instead of wands in spellcasting. Students also wear laurels of different colors to denote their seniority – first through third years wear bronze laurels, fourth through sixth wear silver, and seventh years wear gold.

This is the uniform of a very unique school. Lefoashar, a school for the dark arts that one may only enter if he is from at least 3 generations of magicians. In the school it is compulsory to wear masks, and no student may know another's name. You do not go to this school to make friends, you go to learn magic. Dark magic. (The location of this school cannot be re leased publicly, but those with a keen eye may notice where it resides.)

I have been trying to get the wardrobe to work so I can do this but its not loading items. :/

Natayo School of Wizardry Natayo School of Wizardry is located nestled deep in the Rocky Mountains of northern British Columbia, Canada. "Natayo" means 'lynx' in Blackfoot Native language. It is populated mostly by Canadian students, with some from America (mostly from Alaska, since it is nearby). The school is built a little like a mountain itself, and is enchanted to look like a real mountain, but one with jagged, dangerous cliffs, to discourage curious hikers. There is a lake and a few waterfalls nearby as well, though the lake is glacier-fed and extremely cold, so only the bravest students dare to take a dip in it (it is often viewed as a rite of passage to the higher grades within the school as well. The teachers don't encourage it, but they don't forbid it, either; most of them had done it in their youth as well!).

Students are sorted into one of five houses, based off of animals important in local Native American cultures: Bear, Owl, Beaver, Lynx and Dragon. While there are no dragons in muggle Native American legends, there certainly are in Wizarding Native communities. There are in fact three types of dragons inhabiting the untouched wilderness in Northern Canada, and the Native have a long standing history of mutual respect with two of them, and a healthy fear of the last type, since it is relatively aggressive, but thankfully mostly keeps to itself.

The students above are modelling the summer and winter uniforms. Summers are warm yet can still be a bit cool, hence the long sleeves, and the winters are brutally cold. The students are also modelling some of the pets commonly seen around the school: foxes (arctic or red), hares and, like Hogwarts, owls are also popular. The uniforms are fairly casual, and female students are allowed to choose between pants or skirts. Most choose pants for the utility and warmth in the cold, unforgiving winter. Students are required to wear a sweater vest in the colours of their house (the summer student is wearing the colours of the Owl house, and the Winter student is from the Dragon house), but otherwise the uniform mostly consists of comfortable and warm plain black shirts and pants.

in the South West of England there is a small school called wildling weir tucked away, the school is for students that prefer to study nature and the care of animal both magical and non magical,

The school has 4 houses that are based on the seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. the colours of the uniforms are based on the seasons too, You will find that students often wear flowers, leaves and twigs to compliment, there is no formal wear and each student is allowed free creative reign as long as they stick to the colour scheme of the house they are in. The school is surrounded by woodland with a small winding stream that runs into a larger river,

He is going to the school Mahkwa which is in the United States just on the edge of the state of Mississippi. The colors of the school are close to those that occur most naturally and beautifully on the earth (greens and yellows) as the school specializes highly in the field of herbology. For this reason the colors were chosen as they blend in best when working in the fields. On top of this, it is a requirement at the school that the body, except the head (though sometimes cover is provided to enable efficient work), be covered completely in a sort of clothing. This is due to the amount of time spent outside working in rows and fields and the school not wanting students to die due to prolonged exposure to the elements (be it sunburn or otherwise).

These entries are wonderful. I'm really enjoying reading through all of them.

That school sounds beautiful. I love the nature aspect of it. Which Internet browser are you using?

School: Dragos Scoala Location: Bolii Cave in Romania Specialization: Elemental mastery and dragon training Uniform: No specific uniform is required; however, outfits must be made of leather that is dragon-fire resistant and cured with elemental reflection charms.

- Chrome but it wasn't working on FF either. I'm going to try again in a minute, see if its working now. Last night it loaded but wouldn't let me move anything in layers and it just frustrated me so much. -_-

That bites. I have that same issue in Chrome and IE for whatever reason. I typically use Opera and have no issues loading and moving items, although I have minor problems with transparent layers.

I came up with the idea to have my character go to Seafarings Wizardry Institute, located on the cliffs of Ireland. Most of what the students learn there is the usual subjects but also with the added learning of magical properties for Marine life and all things in the ocean.

The uniform is a plain white shirt, navy skirt/slacks, oxfords and a shawl.

Canadian Academy of Magic

The Academy is located a little north of Montreal, so the students speak both English and French. Occasionally there are exchanges between the Academy and Beauxbatons sixth years students to strength those language skills. The exchange is between sixth years specifically to avoid any interruption during an examination year. School colors are the same as Canada - brilliant maple red and clean snow white. Uniforms are tailored and trim, but some flexibility is allowed in colder months as long as students present themselves neatly (hello fur-lined boots).

The winters are extremely unforgiving this far north, but the students at the Academy endure it cheerfully. Breakfasts are a big to-do on weekends, where faculty sit among the students and everyone enjoys a family style spread of everything maple imaginable. There are no houses or divisions at this school as the emphasis is placed teamwork as a cohesive whole. "Diversity is our strength," the provost reminds his students on an almost daily basis. Students here also tend to excel at Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures, as the school strives to be one with nature and all its magical elements.
