“Desert Dragon Learning Community was a wonderful fit for our family after years of struggle with schools. Annie and the other teachers truly meet kids where they are, creating a supportive, patient, kind and encouraging environment, especially for children with PDA. They are incredibly skilled at making learning personal, engaging, creative, and fun while honoring each child’s unique needs. They offer so much variety and immersion in the lessons, bringing in outside speakers every week and giving the kids very interesting hands-on learning experiences. The learning didn’t feel like traditional learning, it was so much more interactive and fun.
The biggest gift was seeing my daughter feel truly seen and understood. She experienced a level of acceptance there that she had never found at other schools. She actually looked forward to going to school. I highly recommend Desert Dragon Learning Community.”
“We are forever grateful for the flexibility and individualized support our child received at Desert Dragon. Annie and the rest of the highly qualified team are a joy, and the world would be a better place if it were more like Desert Dragon!”
“I started with other schools and never found one that quite helped me the way Desert Dragon did. The teachers helped me learn more about math, English, and so much more. They let me take breaks when I needed it. They never forced me to do any assignment I didn’t want to do. They always helped me when I needed it. They do really fun stuff. The field trips are much more fun than other schools. Great activities every day. I would highly recommend this school.”
