This class is held weekly on Tuesdays from 1:00pm-3:00pm all semester long. For girls and boys of all ages 3 and up! The Class List with names/genders/ages of students registered up for these classes are found at the bottom.


A Unit Study is a type of curriculum that organizes all subjects around one topic. In this case we're creating our own new "dragon rider, scribe, healer, & infantry school!" A.K.A. Dragon Warriors! We're going to have so much fun learning through these classes:


New Classes:

Dragonology (Unit Study using Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons & The Dragonology Handbook: A Practical Course In Dragons)

Monsterology (Mythical Zoology using Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Beasts & The Monsterology Handbook: A Practical Course In Monsters)

Feasting (Cooking using Cooking for Wizards, Warriors, and Dragons)

Mycology (Mycology using Mushrooms & Fungi Nature Study)

Mythology (Norse Mythology using Norse Gods & Goddesses)

Pirateology (History using Pirateology: A Pirate Hunter's Companion & The Pirateology Handbook: A Course In Pirate Hunting

War Games (P.E. using all sorts of fun games, some include Axe Throwing, Bows & Arrow Shooting, Dragon Bounce Races, Obstacle Courses, & Board & Card games!)


At the end of the year we'll be watching a dragon-themed movie at the park! If this sound like fun we'd love to see you and make new friends!
