 Class Schedule Creation
When your wand finally becomes a child all sorts of choices become available to you. What do you want your child good at? What do you want them bad at? Are they an over-achiver? Or are they a major slacker? Your choice of classes and how you have your fey 'respond' to the assigments will determine just how good they are, or how unknowledgeable.
The first thing you need to do though, is make up a 'class schedule' for your fey. This class schedule will determine who your fey's classmates are, and allow other oppertunities for role playing. There are two different types of classes. Electives and Mandatory.
Elective Classes are basically a list of classes that your fey may choose 3 from. Each stage of growth, your fey may choose a different assortment of Electives, or stick with their previous choices to continue expanding their knowledge. Some Elective classes have requirements that must be met before the class can be taken. These requirements could be any of the following: A certain age reached, A certain Magic Knowledge Stat reached, a Certain Skill stat reached, a certain Ability Stat reached. Mind you, there may be other requirements that pop up that aren't listed here.
Mandatory Classes are classes that all fey are 'required' to attend. They pretty much cover basic information and tend to be a little simpler then the Elective classes. Mandatory classes have different levels for different ages. Introduction classes are for children, the common classes are for teens, and advanced classes are for the adults.
Example: (Child) Introduction to Charms and Talismens, (Teen) Charms and Talismens, and (Adult) Advanced Charms and Talismens.
It should be noted that while some classes are open only to children and teens, other classes are open to adults, to be attended as long as they feel the desire to. No Fey is forced to leave the academey and it's training until they are ready to leave on their own.

Attending your Classes
So, you've picked your three electives and are now ready to start 'attending class' are you? Attending classes are rather easy to do! Due to the fact there are so many classes, and only one me, and this one me has a lot to do RL, classes are run like week long events. At the start of the week, a select number of classes will be picked to be 'held'. These classes will compose of a variety of stages and types in a attempt to give everyone a equal chance with attending.
A documented post will be made in this thread, marking the 'start' of the classes. There may be more then one post like this, so it's best to wait until it is posted that all is clear for posting. The documented post will likely include a 'lecture' made by the teacher holding the class, at the end of the lecture a Assignment will be given along with a due date. Fey that are in that particular class will have until that Due Date to PM or Post their response to the assignment. Some assignments will require a little research and each assignment will have details pertaining to just what is wanted.
Example:
Professor Damian gives a small lecture about the amplifying attributes of the Quartz Crystal (The lecture itself would be typed out RP style and have a heck of a lot more detail in it then this) Following the lecture he gives this assigment to his pupils {Write a paragraph about another attribute of the quartz crystal, and provide a secondary stone that has the same attribute, partners are allowed.}
Here you have the choice about how you wish to respond to the assigment. You could RP with a friend, having your two fey look up the information in the school library, and then submitting a typed out version of the paragraph requested. Or you could simply type out the paragraph yourself and posting it as your fey would have written it.
While 'grades' are given out for the 'essay' portion of the assigment, points are also awarded to those who RP their fey looking up the information. The essay itself is also looked at itself for RP points. If your fey submitts a essay with a lot of grammer, spelling errors, and striked out portions, they may suffer a negative effect on a few of their personality card stats. Where as a fey who's essay has a more educated looking paper, along with the attempt of a properly formated look, they may recieve extra points in their skills stats. The 'grades' given are recorded for each assigment. So if you do not respond to the assigment, and your fey is supposed to be attending that particular class, a 0 will be recorded next to your fey's name. After 5 grades are recorded for that particular class, a over all average is calculated, and based on your fey's 'Grade' a amount of points are added to whatever the focus of their studies is. It should be noted that it is impossible for a fey to suffer a subtraction from their knowledge based stats, though physical based stats are fair game.

Roleplaying and Assignments
For classes that are announced as solo's, please only post in response to assignments posted. If you intend to RP out your assignment, please do it in a RP thread or journal, then copy and past the RP here. This helps keep things a bit more organized for me and easier for me to respond to, thank you!
There will be Active Classes announced from time to time. In essence it will be a time period in which the class will be RPed out in the classroom thread.
