I guess you could send an owl to the 'Salem Witches Institute' (GOF -
World Cup) and ask if they have a school. Given a population of about
5 times that of Britain, I would guess there would be schools. Also, a
substantial number of North Americans are of European descent.

The other location would have to be New Orleans. There are magic shops
all over that city, real magic as in VooDoo. You can buy charms,
amulets, instructions on how to curse people, VooDoo pin cushion
dolls, could probably even buy a curse, charms, spells, etc...; all
dispursed about the various common muggle neighborhoods. With Magic
that flagrantly displayed, there certainly must be a school in the
neighborhood. Probably located in some remote area of the bayou.

And just so the Native Americans aren't left out, I suspect Shaman
schools in the Black Hill, sacred ground, of South Dakota. Also,
alternate Shaman school in the Arizona & New Mexico area.

For some odd reason, I have this idea that there is a Magic School in
San Francisco, although I have no idea why.

And I'm undecided whether I want there to be a magic school in Texas. 

...or not.
