Practical Magic: Practical Magic involves using spell formulas in order to achieve a practical goal, such as autocleaning. Enchanting objects is described to be a "basic, rudimentary magic" that even first years are capable of performing. This is a required subject; failure to pass means you are held back one year.

Training Class: There is a mandatory practical training class in which students fight magic projections of staff; this puts things learned in Practical Magic into use via combat. The practical training class used to be done off-campus in deserted areas booked for NRC use. This, however, led to issues like people going missing, students colluding, and fights between teachers and students. Modern technology has made it possible to create realistic environments and opponents while still on-campus.

Culinary Crucibles: The Culinary Crucible is a program in which the student can develop culinary skills by helping in the Cafeteria. Those who pass the Culinary Crucible taste tests will be granted optional credit.

Art and Musicology: Art and Musicology are required, as they encourage and expand one's imagination. This is important because spellcasting is enhanced by having a strong imagination.

Further subjects: Elective courses we don't have much information about: Defense Magic, Summoning, Biology, Toxicology, Magic Energy Engineering, Mathematics and Poison Refining.

Potionology: Potions are magical liquids created by mixing various ingredients in a cauldron according to very specific rules. These mixtures must usually be drank to give their magical effect.

Though the instructor may lead in making healing potions, there are legal restrictions on who can brew and administer potions in society at large. Riddle even mentions licensed potion pharmacists that formulate potions, as those who consume them may undergo physiological changes. Magical potions can only be brewed by licensed professionals or under the supervision of a licensed professional like Crewel.

Some potions are ineffective if not brewed by the person who intends to drink it, while other potions require infusions of magic while harvesting the ingredient or preparing the potion in its cauldron.

The lessons in this class are only lectures about significant names, dates and events in magical history or the Great Sevens.

Alchemy: Alchemy is the study of magical plants and fungi, including their care and their magical properties and uses. Some magical plants formed important ingredients in potions, while others has magical effects in their own right.

This class is a required course for all students, as it seems to provide the base knowledge for potion making before students qualify for other more complex science electives. Alchemy classes are held in the greenhouses and included plenty of hands-on activities, including harvesting mandrake or water the plants.

Obligatory rules for the fourth year: There are three periods for the internship; students can choose to remain at the same site or take up to three different internships, each lasting three months.

A student's internship site options will vary depending on the individual's electives, class credits, and grades. Some internships require special technical exams and/or interviews. It is also possible that some internship sites will scout desired students in advance.

In order to take the final exam to graduate, the student must receive credit in at least two out of three internships in order to qualify for graduation.

Night Raven College has in its faculty a selection of talented professors each specialised in a specific department. There are a variety of classes these included both the core curriculum and the electives, available from first year forward.

Where NRC is located on the island/locations on canpus:

Night Raven College's campus is located at the north of Sage's Island on top of a mountain with the main building located on an elevated piece of land. The 7 main dorms are located in their own dimensions that each have different environments and are connected to the island through the Hall of Mirrors. Unlike the rest of the dorms, Ramshackle Dorm is located on Sage's Island instead of a separate dimension.

Campus Locations:

Main Building: The main building of campus, where most classes are held.

Mirror Chamber: The mirror chamber is inside the main building and is used for many different purposes: the Entrance Ceremony, dorm leader meetings, and other school assemblies.

Coliseum: The Coliseum is used for Magical Shift matches, defensive magic exams, and duels for the dorm leader position. It has a barrier to prevent any damage from spreading to the rest of campus. It's also used for large events such as the Vocal & Dance Championship.

Mr. S's Mystery Shop: The school store which is run by Sam, where students can buy anything they need.

Gymnasium and Sports Field: For PE Classes and Sport Clubs.

Stables: The stables hold horses for the Equestrian Club, which is responsible for cleaning the stables.

Botanical Garden: The botanical garden is open to all students. to use for growing plants for both potionology classes and personal projects.

Night Raven College's school year is structured in a similar way to normal schools, with two semesters punctuated by winter and summer holidays and ending with a final exam. Students has the option of staying at NRC for the winter holidays. Those who chose to stay at the castle during the holidays do not have to attend classes and participate a feast on New Year. However, students whose scores on midterms are low have remedial classes during winter holiday.

Other than breaks and weekends, students do not receive holidays but are occasionally allowed to visit Foothill Town, the local village. There are various feasts in a year, and the school normally celebrates Halloween, Starsending, Night Raven College Founding Day, winter and summer holidays, and Spelldrive Tournaments (Interdorm and Interscholastic).

Each of the seven dorms at Night Raven College is modeled after The Great Seven, a group of individuals legendary in Twisted Wonderland. Upon entering the school, students are sorted into these dorms based on the qualities of their souls. There is a dorm that is not part of the seven main dormitories: Ramshackle, a dorm that has been abandoned and occupied by ghosts. Night Raven College also has a sports rivalry with Royal Sword Academy, another prestigious school for mages that other magically-gifted students (such as Che'nya and Neige) attend. For the past 99 years, RSA has beaten NRC at the annual Inter-School Spelldrive Tournament.

The school year begins September every year. Students usually arrive at NRC via the Dark Mirror and participate in a solemn ceremony in the Mirror Chamber. Each grade has about two hundred students, around thirty from each dorm, that usually throws a welcome party for the freshmen the same night as the ceremony.

Students who have received an invitation to enroll in the school can choose to decline or ignore the offer. However, should they change their minds, they can approach the principal with the original invitation at any time. The principal will accept them if they are motivated to learn and enroll them in that year's new cohort of beginning magicians. Invitations have no time limit, and this policy applies even if the Headmaster who sent the original invitation has retired.

The Dark Mirror is a magical mirror that sorts the new students into one of the seven dorms based on the nature of the student's soul and essence of their being. It can only sort students who possess magical powers. While it's possible to transfer dorms, it's a complicated process and requires a new ritual.

The Dark Mirror is one of NRC’s most prized magical artifacts and the Mirror Chamber is strictly off-limits to outsiders regardless of circumstance, with the special exception of Halloween, during which photography is prohibited. However, the defenses of the school are not impenetrable; during the Fairy Gala story, fairies somehow managed to get in and steal an important object kept there.

Ace seems to imply that there is at least one mirror gate, called a school mirror, in each student’s hometown that only connects those places to the Dark Mirror. During the winter holidays, these mirror gates can close and disallow travel from one end to the other. Should anyone need to use them to return, they will have to use other modes of transportation. Night Raven College has a history of over 500 years and was founded by humans.

Night Raven College is an all-boys academy and the main setting of Twisted Wonderland. It is a four-year magic educational institution located on top of a mountain on the north side of the Isle of Sages.

This place possesses a protective spell over its campus to protect it from unwanted visitors. Students are only allowed to enroll in this school if they have the potential for being a great magician, a factor which is determined by the Dark Mirror. A black carriage will be sent to personally pick up incoming students, which can even travel underwater. They are kept unconscious in coffins called "Gates" until arriving at the academy. In most cases, they can only be awoken if their Gate is unlocked with a special key, however there are exceptions. All students are given a magical pen upon enrollment. These are fountain pens which hold the user's magic gemstones, and so are also utilized as wands. The color of one's gemstone is determined by which dorm they are in. They are capable of changing form, but so far this has only been shown with the dorm leaders.
