Alfea

The **Alfea College** is a teens' boarding school located east of Magix for fairies that was founded by the Elemental Fairies and the most prestigious educational institution for fairies.

Alfea is an ancient school for fairies, and apparently the only one dedicated to fairy education only. The Alfea students are mostly in training ages 16-18. Fairies here learn how to control their power, fight evil, learn new spells as well as be guardians of their planets, or in many cases, learn how to be their realms' queens.

## Education

Additional classes include biotransformation, magiphysics, cognitive analysis, applied convergence, magic invocation, magic self-defense, Winxology, and History of Magic. The education in Alfea lasts 3 years, one for each fairy form in the journey of an aspiring full-fledged fairy.

### First Year/Freshmen fairies

Freshmen fairies learn how to master their own source of power, as well as their Magix, and learn many basic spells they can use in their daily life as well as spells cast spontaneously and on instinct. Learning how to change one's appearance in metamorphosis class and making potions in Potionology are part of this year's education. Fairies also learn how to explore diverse environments or complete certain tasks in the Simulation Room. Choosing one of the two prompts is a fairy's midterm. Some training exercises are also required.

### Second Year/Sophomores fairies

In their cognitive analysis class, fairies increase their magicial abilities by learning technical incantations, spells requiring cognitive analysis and accurate pronunciation. Other classes include magic invocation, which teaches the practice of making magic through technical charms, magic self-defense, which teaches how to defend oneself through the use of spells, and applied convergence, which teaches how to effectively combine powers. They also have the goal of earning Charmix, a power-up that will temporarily boost their energy. After earning it, the intensity of their training exercises is increased.

### Third Year/Juniors fairies

After spring break, fairies are tasked with their final exam; earning Enchantix, the Final Fairy Form in a fairy's formal educational journey to become a full-fledged fairy. Those who achieve Enchantix will participate in training exercises to hone their abilities.

### Graduation/Seniors fairies

After earning Enchantix, the basic fairy education is completed and they will receive the titles of Guardian Fairies of their respective homeworlds on the Day of the Gift.

## School Building

Its campus is a large castle with pink walls and blue roofs built around a courtyard itself having a well that leads to underground tunnels linking the three schools of Magix together.

The classrooms, school hospital and kitchen and school hall are mostly located on ground level, while the rooms of the staff members and the dormitories of the students are on the first floor. On the first floor, there is also the library, the office of the headmistress, and the school archives, found in one of the towers of the castle and guarded.

Protective barriers meant to keep non-magical creatures, non-fairies, and bad weather out are seen many times in the series. Their power source are known to be fairy magic or Fairy Animal magic.
