LOCATION

The school is located on an island near Sutica. While facing the front gates of Sutica from the road, turn left. Head past the farms to the very end, then turn right. Past the garden island is the island the school stands on, connected via a stone bridge. 

 

Keep in mind that the school is a war-free zone. This means that the Coalition guards will not arrest you if you are a criminal in Sutica so long as you do not venture inside of Sutica’s walls. The school is open to all, no matter race, residency, origin, sex, etc. 

 

 

COURSE TYPES

There are three different types of courses at the Coalition of Arcane Knowledge: basic, intermediate, and advanced. Advanced courses are those that actively teach the different magics such as Air Evocation, Divination, and Illusion. To reach the advanced courses, though, students must complete the prerequisite basic course, which varies depending on which advanced they’d like to take. After completing and passing the required basic, students may apply for the advanced they’re interested in. Teachers of these advanced courses are not required to take any student; they handpick their students from the pool of those available. While students are waiting to get picked, they are placed in an intermediate, which is a course more specific to what they’d like to learn. For example, if a student wished to learn Fire Evocation, they must first take the basic Theory of Magic, then they are placed in the intermediate Theory of Evocation until they are picked for Fire Evocation. 

 

Please keep in mind the courses available vary depending on the current roster of teachers and what they can teach. To see a full list of available courses, head here: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/193881-the-coalition-of-arcane-knowledge-course-list/.

 

 

COURSE STRUCTURE

Each course offered at the Coalition of Arcane Knowledge has a lesson plan that it follows, depending on how the teacher decides to structure their class. However, the following information is true for all courses:

 

Homework

Homework is given as an alternative to attending class if a student cannot make a certain class. You may complete homework instead of going to class and still receive credit for that class day, though students must attend at least 50% of classes in-person to pass the course. Students may also complete homework in addition to attending class in-person for extra practice and credit. Homework must align with a course textbook, and since it is offered as an alternative to attending class, textbook pages must be referenced to provide a source for where students may obtain the necessary info to complete their homework. 

 

Quizzes and Exams

Exams are given to students once they receive credit for every single class and have attended at least 50% in-person, no matter where their classmates are in the course. This way, a student may join in the middle of a “semester” at any point in time and continue as normal. For example, if I join during class 1, I do classes 1-15, take the exam, and move on. But I can also join during class 9, take classes 9-15 then 1-8, take the exam, and move on. Exams must be held within school grounds. The student taking the exam must be supervised by a teacher, council member, or the headmaster. While quizzes are taken during class, exams are not, due to students being able to take them at any point during the semester. Lastly, if a student misses a quiz, they must complete it on their own time. They do not have to be supervised nor on school grounds to take a make-up quiz. 

 

 

TUITION AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Although the school does charge tuition, there are only two fees, each of which are one-time. To take basics, students must pay a tuition of 500 Minas, and to take advanced, they must pay 1,000. If a student only wishes to take basics, they only have to pay for basic courses. However, since advanced courses require basics to be completed, to take advanced courses, students must pay for both. 

 

Scholarships are consistently available for students of high academic achievement, part of certain groups, predicted excellence, etc. Available scholarships can be seen here: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/193882-the-coalition-of-arcane-knowledge-available-scholarships/.
