Hogwarts Curriculum

[/size][/center]

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is determined to educate its students to the maximum ability. In order to succeed, students are required to take a number of classes to pass the grade and move up to the next level according to grade level.

All years must participate and pass in two required classes and one elective in order to move up to the next grade level, the next year, unless you want your character to fail.

In roleplay, however, your character's schedule is required to consist of the eight required classes, as well as a maximum of three elective choices.
