Welcome to the Grey School of Wizardry
We opened our virtual doors in 2004 to a handful of bright-eyed youngsters. Rocketing forward beyond our expectations, the Grey School took on a life of its own to include more Adult students than Youths, a regular and professional e-zine to rival many printed publications and our very own online store to serve our students' many and varied needs...
Keep Magickal Education Affordable!
Dear Students of the Grey School of Wizardry:
This year the Grey School is 10 years old! And how we have grown! We have increased the number of classes available to over 470 and all 16 majors can be completed. Now we are turning to you, our adult students, to help us to grow even more.
As you know, our only income is from our modest tuitions and donations. For us to expand our offerings, we need a little help. Grey School needs to seek multiple sources of income so we can keep tuition rates low, while still providing a quality experience.
The Grey School can now be found in Second Life!
The Grey School now has a home in Second Life! This new program, which started on December 1, 2013, now hosts a school grounds where students can interact with each other and their instructors in a virtual environment.
