The Real School AKA Dragon Valley is a cooperative effort. We depend on and value the participation of community members but also understand that people have differing capabilities and levels of interest.

Community members are staff, regular volunteers, students, and their families or relevant people in their lives. The students and volunteer/staff facilitators meet every Thursday at 1:00pm, and other adults and visitors are welcome to attend, with permission, to bring ideas or proposals to the group. Most school business is handled and discussed in these meetings. They are an opportunity to address issues such as day to day operations, philosophy, complaints, and conflict.

We also periodically have fundraisers and events that we are always in need of volunteers for, as well as a physical plant to maintain with a yard that always needs mowing…
