The American sibling of the prestigious school for magic was already hinted at during the Harry Potter film series but Rowling has since revealed that there are 11 wizarding schools worldwide and that they are all registered with the very important-sounding Internations Confederation of Wizards.

The fourth instalment of the series, The Goblet of Fire, revealed two of the 11 schools, naming them Koldovstoretz (Russia) and the c'est magnifique French school known as Beauxbatons Academy of Magic.

Since then, it has been revealed that wizarding is a worldwide thing and is taught all over the globe in countries such as Japan, Uganda, Brazil and Northern Europe. Each of the schools has its own speciality with the Mahoutokoro School of Magic taking the quidditch cup and Castelobruxo in Brazil is known for teaching its students the art of Herbology and Magizoology.

The Pottermore site now has an in-depth section regarding the schools for curious fans to study. Would you attend one of the others or would you stick to the classic Scotland-based school of Hogwarts? Apparently, they do look at your proximity to the school so you might not have a choice in the matter.
