Our Magister Program
The Grey School's Magister Program is a distinctive learning path designed specifically for the curious.

These include the potential to receive a Journeyman Certificate, enrollment in the Wizardry 100-799B Class Series, and eligibility for Apprentice Leadership positions. However, these distinctions do not detract from the rich and rewarding learning experience that the Magister Program offers.
