Looking for a Bubble? This Isn’t the School for You.

If you're searching for a perfectly polished, padded, and pressure-free environment, best of luck to you. Truly. But this isn’t that place.

If, on the other hand, you’re raising dragon slayers, pull up a chair.

This is a school for families who understand that the world isn’t getting softer, safer, or simpler. It’s getting sharper, louder, and more demanding. And in a time of dragons, we don’t apologize for raising children strong enough to face them.

Here, we stand alongside other brave parents who know the cost of giving their children real agency. We support each other when our little warriors come home scraped up, disappointed, or seething with frustration. We encourage each other during the hardest moments: when natural consequences teach what lectures can’t, when failure stings more than we expected, and when the right thing to do is step back and let our child wrestle with the problem themselves.

So what does it take to raise a dragon slayer? Here are a few things we’ve learned along the way:

• Let them fall without rushing to fix it. Resilience is built in the recovery. Allow your child to sit in the frustration and figure out their next step. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s where real growth lives.

• Model emotional regulation. They’ll take their cues from you. If you stay grounded in the chaos, they’ll learn how to do the same.

• Prioritize purpose over performance. Dragon slayers aren’t raised by chasing gold stars. They’re built by asking: What matters most? What problem do I care about solving?

• Create space for meaningful failure. In our learning environment, we encourage trying, failing, and trying again. Your job isn’t to prevent failure, it’s to help your child reflect and bounce back.

• Build a tribe. Don’t go it alone. Surround yourself with families on the same mission. We don’t all have the answers, but we’re in it together.

You’ll find that tribe here, not perfection, not easy answers, but a community of parents walking the same path of raising resilient, courageous, purpose-driven young people.

I’ll be there for you… if you promise not to tell anyone I cried.
