Old Dragons include Emma Watson, Jack Whitehall, Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston, and Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Cressida Dick. Today, the Dragon (named in honour of St George) offers a broad curriculum enriched with plenty of music, sport and after-school clubs, an activities-based Saturday programme, and dedicated reasoning and preparation lessons for senior school exams and scholarships. Around a third of Year 8 Dragons gain academic or specialist scholarships.įounded in 1877 as the Oxford Preparatory School to educate the sons of Oxford University dons (professors), Dragon School has evolved to become a progressive co-ed school with a very international student community representing 30 different nationalities. It combines a well-rounded curriculum with bespoke support on moving to senior schools – and the school has a track record of sending children onto some of the UK’s most selective private schools including Harrow, Eton College, Wycombe Abbey, Oundle, Magdalen College School and Wellington College. I am currently in the planning process of our third summer camp, and I couldn’t be more excited to expand the love of Latin jazz.A prep school with an innovative Saturday programme, a very active music department, and a track record of sending girls and boys to some of the UK’s top senior schools.ĭragon School, Oxford is a co-ed day and boarding Pre-prep and Prep School for four to 13 year olds. I started my program two years ago, and have since run two summer camps and two five-week workshops. The goal of my program is to provide free music training to youth so that they can find their own voices and learn the importance of collaboration, while also gaining confidence in themselves and their abilities. My DKF project, The Latin Jazz Project: Ignite Your Rhythm, stemmed from my love of music and my desire to share it with underserved youth in my community who don’t have access to music opportunities in their homes or schools. In the fall, I will be attending the University of California, Los Angeles, where I plan to double major in Applied Mathematics and Business Economics. I am currently a senior at the Orange County School of the Arts in the Popular Music Conservatory. Alumni Feature Hi! My name is Sidra Villacorta and I am an alumni of DKF-3.
