I can only write of the United Kingdom. Here it is compulsory for schools to teach a little of all religions. Wicca is a recognised religion here. So it will be "mentioned" in schools. But you can bet it will be with a warning to keep clear of it!
But, as the post above says. To start a school would take a monumental amount of money, and a great deal of experience.
Its a lovely idea and I would love it if you could come to Australia only problem is that.... Australia has a strict and annoying school syllabus so you'll have to meet all the requirements and all the spiritual classes will be under optional classes so that means its not going to be compulsory and when there is that option a lot of the students are going to pick the option of going home early rather than being stuck in a class room talking about spirituality I mean I don't want it to be that way but face it -_- the mind of an adolescent , also its not subject electives but it'll be under religious studies and also it might, underlining the word might cause the school to have a bad name/reputation due to narrow minded parents and other speculators.
Sorry all I've done is list a whole load of cons but its something that you need to think about and I'm sure something similar will apply for other countries as well
All the same though great idea -_- I've been dreaming about doing the same but then there is also financial issues etc. *sigh
I was thinking along the same lines of Vramel. A private academy is your best bet. But there is still a huge problem with finances I can not stress enough how much money it takes to simply keep a school running much less begin one. It will take heep loads upon loads...
But I do love the idea of a physical school for spirituality I've always wondered if such a thing exists. Online schools are great and all but a physical one appeals to me a bit more.
I'd also like to mention something about the location and structure of the building(s) you use for the school. Safety for your students is a top priority, so security, and a strong private building (probably gated in completely) should be considered.
People sometimes act violenty towards "WITCHES!".
speaking form a teenagers prospective. i think that it would not be a good idea, becuase of the term Magick, and how others would think of this school, and i personally think that the media would eat this up (well in the USA). if i were you i would open a spiritual center, cheaper and better, you can still teach classes, but its not an offical school. thats my two cents...
I live in Australia, so yes, it would most likely start in Aus, and I appreciate all of your ideas, Thank you. I will of course be building it with a strong structure and high walls as to keep out unwanted attention, and will probably keep security as a top measure, safety of my students is important to me. For the problem such as spirituality being condemned by parents, It would be a choice made by the students, and it would probably have a catch such as to draw people into it, such as certain classes are only accessible through that. The classes would teach of the old ways and of freedom and growth, without limits. My ultimate ideal is to create a generation of people who are pure of heart and without the restraints of the common people or the limits of a world where nothing is to be questioned. without these simple things, are we ever truly free?
