The Dragon Academy is a small co-ed private school in the historic Annex district of downtown Toronto. The purpose of the school, as has been stated by the principal, Dr. Meg Fox, is to not only enrich the Ontario high school curriculum but to provide high school students with an integrated curriculum heavily reliant on the Socratic method. The Dragon Academy has been in operation since September 2001, and has had ten graduates- all of whom have been accepted to their universities of choice (University of Toronto, McMaster, Ryerson, York, Concordia, UBC, and Queen's), many of them with scholarships. The Dragon Academy has been described as a challenging school with high academic standards, and also as a welcoming environment. Many students have found themselves encouraged to achieve their best by a dedicated and caring faculty and community. The Dragon Academy curriculum is aimed at building character as well as knowledge. The school fosters ideals of scholarship, personal growth and community responsibility.Unlike most high schools, the Dragon Academy makes it policy for students to take upwards of nine courses a year and refuses to allow the dropping of any class except by students who have decided to do an eighth year. The Principal and the Academic chair are of the opinion that it is best for the student to have a solid grounding in as many subject areas as is feasible.
