The school is the most elite university in the Multiverse. Because of this, there are several planeswalkers who secretly have enrolled as students.

Strixhaven features five Colleges, which battle it out with their own takes on magic. Each college is named after an elder dragon who founded it and is associated with two enemy colors.

The Five Colleges are:

Lorehold Red/White – Passionate scholars and explorers who dedicate their studies to adventure and discovery. Their motto is «Leave no stone unturned.»

Prismari Blue/Red – Mages who focus on the artistic side, using the elements to express themselves and their emotions. Their motto is «Express yourself with the elements.»

Quandrix Green/Blue – They are mathematician wizards, seeing math and magic as one and the same. Their motto is «Math is magic.»

Silverquill White/Black – They specialize in verbal magic, ranging from empowering poetry to biting arcane insults. Their motto is «Sharp style. Sharper wit.»

Witherbloom Black/Green – They are nature mages, on both sides of the spectrum, either empowering nature or exploiting it. Their motto is «Get your hands dirty.»
