The School of Wizardry

The School of Wizardry on Roke Island in Thwil was founded around the year 650 by wizards and witches from across Earthsea. 
Medra, Veil and Ember were among the founders of the school. The school is located near the Imminent Grove and Roke Knoll, both magical places. Magic keeps Roke island hidden or inaccessible. 
Ged, or Sparrowhawk, attended the school at a time when women were no longer allowed an education in magic. This was due to the common wizard belief that magic requires celibacy. 
Ogion seemed to discourage Tenar from sending Therru to Roke School, despite the fact that girls were not allowed at the school.
