It is on the other hand run very much on the lines of a traditional British
boarding school/public school - prefects, houses, quidditch instead of rugby
or lacrosse etc., with lots of tradition going back, so in that respect,

that was certainly the attitude at my place - but then I was sitting there
chanting amo, amas, amat with the best of them...
