The Houses are all named after trees with magical properties. They signify the differences in magical types and abilities, and provide values and traits for students to strive for. The Houses also provide students with a home environment as steady as the trees themselves.
Students are divided into their houses before they arrive at Druid's Circle. On opening night, they will be directed to their house table in the dining hall where they will meet their housemates. Students are not restricted in their houses except for meals and after hours. During the day the students will be free to associate with any student from any house, in fact, this is encouraged. To promote this freedom of movement, each house will share classes with every other house in the school.
