ASWW was founded in the year of 1692, in the Ozark region, due to the occurence of the Salem Witch Trials. The school, hidden between mountainous and heavily wooded regions, is made from solid brick and stone, as is nearly all of the cozy wizarding town of St. Aguara's, only a mile south of the campus. A good fifty miles, in every direction, is warded with spells and enchantments to keep muggles away. Originally, it was a place that magical families of the North American region could stay, to keep safe from the hunters determined to eradicate them, and later it became the school we know of today. ASWW is still a safe haven for all magical families, and the families of muggle-borns, in times of war, the school building coping on its own with each fluctuation in the resident population.
As the American Regions were more or less out of reach, Voldemort (his name still brought fear) and his reign never really affected this Hemisphere. Though both he and his Death Eaters have fallen, it is only time until a new problem arises for the wizarding world, possibly far more dangerous than Voldemort had ever been.
