Wu Xueyuan

Wu Xueyuan (吴学苑) is one of the oldest formal education schools in the world, located somewhere in the Henan Province of China. It takes boarding and day students from the nearby vicinity, but offers correspondence courses to any interested student around the world.

No one is really sure what protections the school has to have been hidden for so long in such a populated area. TO ensure protection, the staff has never revealed these secrets.

Believed to have been established some time during the Shang dynasty, Wu Xueyuan is older than most magical organizations. As a result, many magical beings there do not see fit to be bothered with certification from such new organizations as the International Confederation of Wizards.

To confirm acceptance, the headmaster or headmistress of Wu Xueyuan uses the Brush of Acceptance to write the students' names upon the air. The names transform into small birds and head to the prospective students. Staff also meet with families of non-magical pupils.

If Wu Xueyuan has a motto, it is currently unknown to the wider wizarding world at large.
