QuixoteFest '08
For All Who Are Well-Versed in the Business of Adventure
About Us

If Don Quixote were alive in 2008, he'd begin his next quest at Wizard Academy in Austin, Texas.

If Miguel de Cervantes were teaching a course on creative writing today, he would be teaching it at Wizard Academy.

Located on a 23-acre campus in the Texas Hill Country, the non-profit Wizard Academy is all about chasing windmills -- and get this -- catching them!!

Dreamers from around the world regularly take courses at the campus, where conventional thinking and methods of education are set aside and new, innovate ways of getting the job done are taught.

QuixoteFest '08 is a logical extension to the Wizard Academy's year-round curriculum.  Both formal courses and the festival emphasize individualistic thinking.

A class at Wizard Academys 21st Century Business School

Q: What is Wizard Academy?

A: Wizard Academy® is a 21st century business school.

Q: How is a "21st century" business school different?

A: We recognize the value of intuition.

Traditional business schools teach you to wait until all the data is available.
We'll teach you how to make the right decision before all the data is available.

The big fish are no longer eating the little fish. The fast fish are eating the slow.
We'll teach you how to be the fast fish.

Our curriculum is multi-layered, led by some of the most accomplished instructors in America, Canada, Britain and Australia.

We improve the results of advertisers, architects, artists, authors, businesspeople, educators, entrepreneurs, inventors, journalists, ministers, musicians, salespeople and speech writers.

Not surprisingly, we attract a lot of internet innovators along the way.

"Education either functions
(1.) as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or
(2.) it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." – Paulo Freire

Founded in 2000, the Academy has produced a fraternity of alumni who are leaving their fingerprints all over the planet. Freire would be proud.

People come here because they want to make things different, they want to get things done. And they've seen that yesterday's methods aren't working anymore.

You're going to like it here.

And the people you'll meet are amazing.
