DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Desert Dragon Learning Community is a small, personalized learning space in Tucson, AZ where students ages 10-14 with learning differences can thrive. Through autonomy, project-based learning, and personalization in a comfortable, flexible space, Desert Dragon students will be able to access their present and future goals. Desert Dragon Learning Community's bank account opened at Pima Federal Credit Union in August with a $300 donation from Elaine Nathanson through Future Fund that we used to advertise on KXCI, and we began collecting tuition from 1 student in September for online instruction. Also in September we received a $5,000 grant from KaiPod.org for startup costs. The $5,000 Kaipod.org grant was used as follows: $2500 deposit on basement space at Sonora CoHousing $300 deposit on 3054 N. 1st Ave. $250 3D printer $400 color laser printer $1550 curriculum, furniture, materials, and miscellaneous supplies (kitchen items, craft/school supplies) Tuition payments were then received from 2 additional students, one paying full annual tuition and one paying for full time on a monthly basis. We ended 2024 with $857.44 in our bank account and 3 students enrolled at the full-time level. Desert Dragon Learning Community is still very much in the startup phase and all energy is focused on building the school program. Director Annie Holub is working on figuring out the "secret sauce" for how to best engage neurodiverse learners in a microschool environment. Successes: Field trips have been successful--- we traveled to Mt. Lemmon and visited the Pima Air and Space Museum. Student families have appreciated flexibility for learners. Challenges: Finding outside instructional support has been a struggle--- a Science teacher visited twice a week for a few weeks but students were not engaging effectively with her lessons and showing toxic resistance to her despite her best efforts. Looking Forward: We found an intern from the University of Arizona Psychology Department who will be working with students twice a week during the Spring 2025 semester, and have reached out to multiple ESA vendors in the Tucson area for outside support, including AdventureArt, a special ed consultation company, a fitness instructor, and an executive functioning/life coach.$0$12,000
