What The Dragon Academy says…

The Dragon Academy was founded in 2000 (the year of the Double Dragon in the Chinese calendar) as a progressive alternative to conventional, didactic education. Respecting the individuality, ambition and potential of adolescent learners, Dr. Meg Fox’s experiences as a student, a parent and a teacher, and her extensive research in pedagogy, educational philosophy and developmental psychology, convinced her that adolescents were particularly poorly served by conventional approaches to secondary education. The Dragon Academy was founded as a laboratory school, where teachers and students could explore ways of learning and working together which would inspire creativity, freedom of expression, collaboration and a commitment to social justice, the core principles of progressive education. For members of The Dragon Academy community, school is a dynamic experience. We honour the many facets of human intelligence, exploring the treasure trove of knowledge.
