Towerkuns Akademie
Towerkuns Akademie was created in South Africa in 1961. Towerkuns Akademie was an institution of Wizarding Arts that accepted students of all races during apartheid.
Staffs vs. Wands
Their teachings were adapted to the African culture, and they found they loved the folklore and myth that came with everything they saw. They took to African folklore, in particular in teaching students using staffs and not wands. It was a different way of doing things, yes, but what they found was a culture which looked at wands like silly little twigs. It was much more ingrained in the society the idea of the staff as a symbol of magic. From their legends and folklore to their witch smellers and witch doctors, staffs were used in everyday society. It was easier to make the African students understand the magic flow through a staff rather than a wand.
There are staff makers. Wixes are measured and then tested to find the best wood and core combination available. African blackwood is one wood and Fwooper tail is used for cores.
New Students
New students are invited by letter, and in the 1960s a member of staff would accompany the letter to explain. They would go through the steps to get there and prepare.
School Year
The school year begins in the autumn.
Examinations
In the final year students take N.E.W.T.S like students at Hogwarts.
