"It stands at the highest peak of Mount Greylock, where it is concealed from non-magic gaze by a variety of powerful enchantments, which sometimes manifest in a wreath of misty cloud." —Description of Ilvermorny

Academic Classes
‘“E”,’ George corrected her, ‘“E” for “Exceeds Expectations”. And I’ve always thought Fred and I should’ve got “E” in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams.”--George Weasley in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, J.K. Rowling
First Year Classes
- Transfiguration
| ‘Hermione let her robes fall and Ron backed into the sink. Her face was covered in black fur. Her eyes had gone yellow and there were long pointed ears poking through her hair.’ |
| Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, J.K. Rowling |
- Charms
- Basic introductory spellcasting with a wand.
- Potions
| ‘Deliberately causing mayhem in Snape's Potions class was about as safe as poking a sleeping dragon in the eye.’ |
| Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, J.K. Rowling |
- History of Magic
- Defense Against the Dark Arts
- Astronomy
| ‘“Good luck, Harry Potter,” said Firenze. “The planets have been read wrongly before now, even by centaurs. I hope this is one of those times.”’ |
| Firenze in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, J.K. Rowling |
- Flying Lessons
- Uses broomsticks
| ‘Hermione Granger was almost as nervous about flying as Neville was. This was something you couldn't learn by heart out of a book – not that she hadn’t tried.’ |
| Firenze in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, J.K. Rowling |
| ‘Harry cast about for a happy memory. Certainly, nothing that had happened to him at the Dursleys’ was going to do. Finally, he settled on the moment when he had first ridden a broomstick.’ |
| Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, J.K. Rowling |

Disciplinary Policies
‘“Of course, it would be difficult. And dangerous, very dangerous. We’d be breaking about fifty school rules, I expect.”’ -- Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, J.K. Rowling
"In short, Rappaport’s Law drove the American wizarding community, already dealing with an unusually suspicious No-Maj population, still deeper underground."—Overview of the law
Rappaport's Law is an American wizarding law enacted by President Emily Rappaport in 1790 in response to the fallout of Dorcus Twelvetrees's breach of the International Statute of Secrecy. It will be repealed eventually in 1965.
Ilvermorny students are held to a strict standard of discipline with regard to Rappaport's Law. Any student suspected of breaking school policy or wizarding law is automatically placed on restrictions and earns demerits for their student house. Any student caught or proven to have broken school policy or wizarding law is summarily ejected from the school. Literally.
