| - | Evergreen College originally started as a place where shamans of the native peoples and European wizards could share ideas. Because of this, it is considered one of the more liberal institutes in the system, pulling in ideas from both modern and aboriginal sources. The school is relatively small, located near the base of Mt. Rainer; on average, 150 students are enrolled there. The school covers two major tracks of scholarly pursuits. One covers the anthropological aspects of magic use, ranging from the native cultures of the world to modern-day applications. The other, which truly picked up steam during the Silicon Revolution, focuses on the fusion of magic and technology; some of the best technomages have come from the college's halls.

| - | This school, located in the abandoned passages of the Comstock Lode, is considered a trade school of sorts. Founded by a Moros Forge Master soon after the mines were closed, the school focuses primarily on the Matter Arcanum. In particular, the courses cover the various aspects of metallurgy, as well as a lengthy discussion on the history and creation of artifacts. The school has educated a number of expert metalworkers, creating a number of new magical alloys over the years.

| - | '''Located in:''' New Orleans, Louisiana<br>

| - | '''Founded in:''' 1735<br>

| - | '''Headmaster:''' Emile Dufrense, Moros<br>

| - | | + | |
| - | The Vieux Carré Center of Magical Study was founded as an American branch of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and has always had cordial relations with its mother school. Located on a plantation not too far from the city, it still has the antebellum charm that has permeated the school since its inception. At first, the student body was primarily French pure- and mixed-blooded wizards and witches, although in time sleeper-born mages were allowed to enroll. Magic-users of African descent were not technically allowed to enroll until 1890, although a large number of them were often unofficially tutored as part of working as the school's domestic staff. Today, the school still emphasizes French and Creole cultures, and is one of the primary academies dealing with the Death Arcanum in the country. It also houses an exchange program with Beauxbatons, which is quite popular (if not as noteworthy as the program at MSAW). The plantation grounds were heavily damaged during Hurricane Katrina in 2005; however, a massive effort by both current students and alumni got the school up and running within a few months of the storm. Many students of the school have made a point of aiding in the continually ongoing reconstruction in the area when they are able.

| - | ====Weston Academy of Thaumaturgical Practices====
| + | |
| - | '''Located in:''' Boston, Massachusetts<br>
| + | |
| - | '''Founded in:''' 1650<br>
| + | |
| - | '''Headmaster:''' Alexander Tattersall III, Obrimos<br>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The Weston Academy of Thaumaturgical Practices is the oldest school of the magical arts in the United States, founded soon after Boston itself was founded. It was begun by Nathaniel Tattersall, the numerously-great-grandfather of the current headmaster, as a place for colonial wizards to learn that didn't involve sending them back to Britain. The school catered primarily to the male children of pure-blooded families, eventually allowing male half-blooded students and female students of both pure and mixed families after the Revolutionary War ended. However, those of 'lesser birth' (namely, Muggle-born wizards) were not enrolled until the 1880's.

| - | | + | |
| - | The school itself is located in the Twilight aspect of Harvard University, with a number of Ghost Gates acting as entrance ways. A number of ghosts act as teachers for the more mundane subjects, with wizards and witches covering the magical practices. Rather than focus on particular Arcana, the Weston Academy focuses more on the theory of magic, taking a stronger look at the Practices of magic.
