You must take Core classes such as Potions, Muggle Studies, Herbology, Charms, Hypnosis, Transfiguration, and Flying (1st years only)

You need to take at least 1 the following classes. We reccinend taking no more than 3. You may take all but will be asked to do all the assignments as well. These are optional classes: Medical Studies, Metaphysics, Wizard Literature, and Creative Arts.

  Below you will find a list of all classes offered to the students of Beauxbatons with descriptions.


Études Médicales ~ Medical Studies
taught by: 
In this class, beginner students will learn how to prepare and serve simple remedies for common ailments.  Advanced students will uncover the secrets about more complex potions and spells.  They will learn to cure both Magical and Muggle sicknesses.  This class is not for the weak-stomached or the faint at heart.  It is widely known that the exams for this class are particularly difficult, so studying is a must.  Also, Études Médicales prides itself on teaching students remedies known only by the French Ministry of Magic.

L'Arts Créatifs et la Littérature ~ Creative Arts and Literature
taught by: 
This class is more then just finger painting and paper airplanes.  There are several main areas of study: art, art history, art's impact on the magical world and of course literature.  Students will study the concepts of both Muggle and magical art and literature and their effect on society. Students learn the basics of creating art, but they also dive into a world of magical spells that take their creative skill to an entirely new level.  

Métaphysique ~ Metaphysics (4th years and up only)
taught by: 
Metaphysics is a mostly theoretical class, drawing from philosophy, magical theory and psychology. It is the objective of metaphysics to examine the nature of reality and the relationship between mind, perception, and magic. Students will learn how magic works, how to predict and calculate magic, and how to apply this knowledge to other subjects. Metaphysics shows similarities to both arithmancy and divination and is in particular intended for the more academic-minded students of the Académie de Magie Beauxbâtons.

La Musique ~ Music
taught by: 
Students will learn about music, magical instruments, and techniques to alter/use instruments with magic. Although theory is a big part of the class, practice is a much bigger one. The impact of music on the magical world will be topic of this class and as well as a comparison of magical and muggle music. 

Tirer les Ficelles du Cerveau ~ Hypnosis
taught by: 
Hypnosis is one of the few classes taught exclusively within the Beauxbatons walls.  It is taught by a Hypnotist with experience in the field.  Students learn the practice and theory of a very old art.  Memory charms, charms to influence opinions, and even some music related magic is taught in this class.  Hypnosis is a very complex form of magic, and only the most dedicated of students will succeed at it.  Very dangerous spells are discussed as well as taught in this class, and therefore it requires a high understanding of responsibility.

Occupant de la Faune Magique ~ Care of Magical Creatures
taught by: 
This class covers an array of different magical creatures from all over the world.  Throughout their years of study, pupils will learn about everything from creatures native to the French and greater European area, to creatures found in foreign countries, and even ancient magical animals.  Students will study everything from the appearance, health, diet and sleeping habits, to the creature's magical abilities and impact they have on the world around them.

Soi-défense et la Diplomatie ~ Defense Against the Dark Arts
taught by: 
Magic, for all its goodness and practicality, has a dark and dangerous side.  Beauxbatons does not focus on or endorse the Dark Arts of Magic; rather, it elects to teach students how to properly defend themselves from harm.  Defense is a class offered to all students, and focuses on everything from the counteracting of simple jinxes, to protecting one's self from dangerous creatures, to defending against complex hexes and curses.  But aside from defensive spells, this class is considered to be the thinking person's solution to conflict, and also focuses partially on diplomacy and mediation.

Métamorphose ~ Transfiguration
taught by: 
In this class, students will learn basic and useful transfigurations of common objects.  To transfigure something is, by definition, to change the outward form or appearance of the object, altering it from its original state.  This class is based on theory as well as strict wand usage, and many students may find this to be a very demanding class that is not meant for the weak-willed.  The coursework covers everything from basic spells, to discussion of more complex subjects, such as Animagi.  Beginners will learn the basics of the art of Transfiguration, beginning with simple tasks (i.e. turning match sticks into needles).  Throughout their years of studying, pupils will eventually learn far more advanced Transfiguration, such as the ability to conjure objects from thin air.

Enchantement ~ Charms
taught by: 
This class aims to teach fundamental spells needed to improve the overall quality of a wizard's life.  Charms is a method of magic used to enchant everything from objects to people, and throughout their years, students will learn everything from basic spells to complex incantations.  This class often requires students to think outside of the box in order to learn how to be flexible and use their magic properly in any given circumstance.

L'Art des Potions Cordiale ~ Potions
taught by:
This course covers all material relating to magical mixtures and elixirs.  Students will learn the properties of magical products and ingredients, as well as how to use them properly in potions.  The class places a heavy emphasis on both French-invented potions and potions containing specifically French ingredients.  Pupils will also practice the art of potion-making in class, and will gain extensive knowledge in a variety of different potions throughout their years of schooling.  

Sensibilité aux Plantes ~ Herbology
taught by: 
The study of magical plants, Herbology at Beauxbatons focuses on the proper methods of care and harvesting for all plants.  Students will learn about the properties of magical plants, the benefits and dangers of the different species, and will also delve into the preservation of endangered plants.  This class focuses heavily on, but is not limited to, magical plants found in France and the French region, as well as ingredients to French-invented potions.

Littérature des Sorciers ~ Wizard Literature
taught by:
One of the most valued classes at Beauxbatons is Wizard Literature.  Students spend their class time discovering the great works of many magical authors.  Of course, the main focus is on past and present day French authors.  Students learn about styles of writing from both well-known authors and some not-so-well-known.  They will be required to read several of France’s most famous works, whether fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, and to be prepared to discuss them in class. 

Le Déguisement et les Moldus ~ Muggle Studies
taught by: 
In the modern world, Muggles are everywhere.  It is safe to assume that witches and wizards will frequently encounter Muggles throughout their lifetime.  It is important, therefore, for students to gain an understanding and acceptance of their non-magical neighbors.  It is crucial, for the sake of the safety and secrecy of the wizarding world, that all students gain the ability to blend into the Muggle world.  In this class, students will be taught all-important customs of the Muggle world; this includes everything from the use of Muggle money, to appropriate dress, to how to get around in various forms of Muggle transportation, to what is normal and what is not appropriate to talk about.  Advanced classes will gain a basic knowledge of various Muggle contraptions and devices.

Apprendre à Voler ~ Flying Class
Taught by:  
Mastering flight on a broomstick is an important skill for all wizards and witches to learn.  Brooms are one of the most important methods of transportation in the magical world.  School brooms are used for this class, and all pupils are instructed on how to gain control of their broom (how to move forward, reverse, turn, gain altitude and dive).  In this class, not only will students learn basic broom-riding skills, but, because of the Headmistress' love of winged horses, more advanced students will be exposed to methods of flight on these majestic beings.

I have a question for Catie~ Does Indigo have to take muggle studies? He was raised among them and spent his time in two different muggle cultures? In fact, his background has given him insight to the true grit and horrors that is human nature.

Is Scarlett required to take Muggle Studies? She, like Indigo, was raised by muggles in a muggle village, so she already knows much of their history.
