Chicago’s Witch School, USA This Witch School teaches witchcraft to budding witches worldwide. While the majority of its 40,000 students take their courses online, it has a physical location where students can also take classes in person. The school building was initially located in Roseville, Chicago, where it lasted for two years until Christians began organizing protests and sprinkling holy water on the witches cars. Others started sprinkling holy water on their own cars and even themselves for protection. Before the mass hysteria got out of hand, the school was moved to Salem, Massachusetts. The same town where about 200 people accused of witchcraft faced trials between 1692 and 1693. Ironically, Salem now has its own witch community and is generally witch-friendly as far as I’ve heard. 10. Iceland’s Elf School Around 50% of Iceland’s population believes in elves. This belief is so fundamental to Icelandic culture that when constructing roads, even the the placement of boulders where the ”wee folk” may live is taken into consideration. So it follows that there’s an entire school dedicated to the study of these hidden people. Located in the city of Reykjavik, the Álfaskólinn offers a five-hour crash course on Iceland’s elves that includes a tour of proven elf habitats, as well as a dress-up portion, and a section on identifying the 13 types of elves one might find in the wild. The class ends with a coffee and pancake breakfast and a signed diploma that certifies you as an official elf expert. 9. Train Platform Schools of India Whenever Inderjit Khurana took the train to work, she encountered several children begging train passengers for money instead of going to school. Khurana was a school teacher from Orissa, India, and she was sure that these children needed help if they were going to have any kind of futurel. Since it was almost impossible to take these children to school, she decided to take the school to the children. This led to the formation of the Ruchika School Social Service Organization (RSSO) and the birth of the Train Platform School in 1985. Khurana began her project with just one school, but now more than 4,000 students are being educated around India through this program. The schools cater to the needs of street children, child laborers, and children from poor families. The children gather between train stops to learn to read and write, and they learn through the use of field trips, flashcards, songs, theatre, music, and puppetry. They are allowed to leave the program or resume whenever they choose. Khurana also realized that it would be difficult to educate the children without meeting the needs of their entire families, so the RSSO also provides food and medication to those who need it. 7. Gulu Elementary School, China Gulu is a little-known village located in mountainous Hanyuan County, Sichuan Province, China. The only way to get to the village is through the Luoma Way, which is filled with zigzag turns, narrow passages between rock walls, and rickety bridges. Hidden in one of the mountains is the Gulu Village Primary School. The school has been around since the late ’80s and is run by a single teacher, Shen Qijun. Qijun came to Gulu Village when he was 18 years old. Back then, the school was in a pitiful condition and didn’t even have plumbing. Shen rallied the villagers after a student fell and was injured while trying to get to a toilet somewhere on the mountain. They collectively renovated the school—and added a toilet! Thank goodness! The renovation also included a basketball court, which was made with unused blackboard. The students have to be careful when using it, though, in case they accidentally throw the ball off the side of the cliff.
