For those considering writing a story in the M.Y.T.H. universe, here is some details on how classes work:
“The way classes will work is like this: You’ll have 50 minute classes, with a 20 minute break in between. So Social Studies class starts at 8 AM, ends at 8:50, you get a break, and then at 9:10 the next class, Math, begins. At 10, you get another break, and the next class, which is English, starts at 10:20. That class will go to 11:10, you get a 20 minute break, and then the last class of the morning, which covers Science, starts at 11:30 and ends at 12:20. Then comes lunch, and you get one hour and ten minutes. The afternoon classes are different, as they will be based on your magical abilities. That class will last from 1:30 to 3 PM, with a short ten minute break in the middle. At three, you get your last class of the day, which is an elective of your choice. The electives available will depend on demand, so select at least a couple of options in case your first choice cannot be made available. Anyone who does not chose an elective will be given a 50 minute study period instead. Any questions?”
This is a rough draft, so if you have any suggestions, please say so.

Sounds good,
But what about those who have no magical abilities, such as Rochelle? She is literally a magical "battery" of unknown size. Elisabeth is able to tap into that when she wishes, but still has not plumbed the depths of that energy source.
Elisabeth is a witch, so her magical class would be oriented to learning skills/herbs/spells that a witch would know or use.
What are the choices available for electives? Or are we to come up with one for each specific person?
Rochelle would likely take some form of martial arts/unarmed combat/weapon training as her elective. As Elisabeth's guardian, having a broad set of warrior type skills would give her a better chance to be able to protect Elisabeth during an attack or battle.
Since Rochelle has no magical ability herself, perhaps she could use that magical abilities class time for further fight skills training? As she and Elisabeth are bonded, I'd think that Elisabeth could tap her for magical energy as long as she wasn't too far away from Elisabeth.
Edited to add: Efindumb just sent me a message saying that Rochelle's ability to shift into wolf form and back could be considered a form of magic, so maybe she could learn how to use that ability to the extent that she could shift forms as needed.
instead of just "magical training"
maybe it should cover stuff like combat training, survival skills, flight (for students who can fly), changing shape, and the like, as well as magic.
School is in session
Awesome new series, thanks for the great start of a new super school. Hope this has a long run just like Whateley.
