Subjects Taught at Oaks

Similarly to other magical schools internationally, and following traditional educational settings expectations, courses at Oaks in various subject areas at multiple levels are offered to students as young as 10, with no maximum age. Oaks recognizes the fact that learning opportunities outside of the Atlantic northeast are incredibly limited, if not non-existent, for *hechi* and magic-users in the Americas. Most magical families choose homeschooling, for utmost safety and affordability. Some magical families and beings are not aware of institutionalized magical education, the existence of the Congress or Confederacy, or widespread magical practices. This isolation and secrecy results in diversity of *magia* that Oaks celebrates, invites, and studies using the Mars Tower Research Center located in Sorcery City.

Many subjects would seem to overlap with no-má subject offerings, but courses provided through the MTRC include content beyond no-má awareness, such as most sciences. *Hechi* students are encouraged to take no-má courses alongside their MTRC courses to be prepared for lives and careers outside of magical society.
