Grey School of Wizardry offers Generation “Z” an Esoteric Education
United States of America (Press Release) October 25, 2007 --
Cotati, CA, Oct. 25, 2007-- The U.S. government recently awarded the online Grey School of Wizardry a 501(c)(3) tax exemption for educational purposes.
Several generations ago education was seen in a different light than it is by today’s youth. Schools were seen as repositories and purveyors of esoteric knowledge that would unlock the keys to the universe, and the secrets to success. Scholars and teachers were held in the highest esteem by society.
Today, members of “Generation Z” (born 1985-2000)—the first web-centered and web-raised age group—typically distain school! Gen Z *pop culture* supports this outlook: cartoons, games, and music on the web commonly mock the prison-like nature of public schools.
Magic
Then along came Harry Potter! Every avid fan wishes that they could attend “Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.” Its very exclusivity makes it irresistible, to say nothing of the lure of forbidden and arcane knowledge it promises. Magic and Mysteries, spellcraft and sorcery, hidden history, wands and wortcunning, things that go bump in the night…everything that the “muggle” world doesn’t know about, or believe in.
Mystique
Young people find the lure of magical secrets and esoteric education irresistible! They yearn to be on the “inside” of an exclusive group, to access “forbidden” knowledge and arcane secrets unknown to their parents and their peers.
“What is needed today,” says Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, renowned Headmaster of the Grey School of Wizardry, “is to restore the wonder and mystique that once imbued the very idea of education.”
The Grey School of Wizardry
On August 1, 2004, the online Grey School of Wizardry opened its virtual doors at www.Greyschool.com. Designed for students of all ages, the Grey School provides an extensive seven-level program of studies, at an Apprenticeship grade. Graduates are certified as “Journeyman Wizards.”
Courses offered in the 16 Departments of the Grey School provide a magical education in history, mythology, geography, mathematics, literature, natural history, astronomy, chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, and even Latin! The arts are also included with classes in poetry, music, theater, and creative writing. These are taught by a faculty of 30 dedicated teachers, with 270 exciting classes that keep nearly 1,000 students captivated and committed to learning.
In October of 2007, the Grey School received a 501(c)(3) tax exemption from the Internal Revenue Service for educational purposes. This achievement will help with fundraising and expanding the school to reach more students interested in learning the “Wisdom of the Ages.”
The Future
The ultimate goal of the Grey School of Wizardry is to inspire, educate, and inform students—enabling them to go out and make a real difference in the world. This is true education. For the difference between wisdom and folly is really all about considering the consequences—“unto the seventh generation,” as the Hopi proverb says.
