Enrollment

Mahoutokoro, similar to Hogwarts, operates on a birth record system where students are invited to attend after their names have been recorded on a special list. Students can also submit an essay, a letter of request from a parent, and a primary school record to be considered for acceptance if their name is not already on the list.

Students may enroll if they were born and/or raised for at least five years in any Asian country - such as Japan, China, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc. Japanese is the primary language of the school, although students are required to be proficient in conversational English before the beginning of their first term.

Uniform

Mahoutokoro faculty and students uphold a level of honor and dignity in their uniforms. All students are required to have both common school robes and dress robes.

The Mahoutokoro uniform consists of robes which match the students' respective houses:

Crimson for Red Dragons
Gold for Yellow Kitsunes
Royal blue for Blue Kappas.

In the winter, students also are equipped with warm cloaks in standard black.

Students are also issued a standard traditional Japanese school uniform for wear under their robes and during free time or warmer spring days.
