Boarding at the Dragon
– Safe, Secure and Stimulated to Learn
Dragon School Oxford
FOR MILITARY FAMILIES, BOARDING for your child can offer
a very helpful way of ensuring continuity of education. In our experience, military parents’ primary concerns are that their children will be safe, secure and stimulated to learn, and that they will enjoy regular communication with their children and those that care for them.
In a complex and fast-moving society, modern boarding can provide the security that children need to flourish. At the Dragon, children are immersed in a nurturing environment, in the inspiring setting of the University city of Oxford. They learn to be socially adaptable, while developing independent thought, spirit and motivation. Children are supported in a child-focused space
by a well-established pastoral system of caring Houseparents, matrons, energetic young assistant teachers, classroom teachers and year
group heads, who ensure frequent
communications with home. Boarding facilities are welcoming, homely and
full of personal possessions. Children have cosy shared bedrooms, space for games and comfortable areas to relax. There is plenty of scope for childhood play: gardens for football, picnics and barbecues, and access to the Dragon fields. Prep and homework are done at school, leaving Exeats, weekend leave outs, half-terms and holidays to spend with the family. Many families report that this approach ensures that family time is stress-free and enriched.
