Dragons took their learning global 🔥

From Edinburgh to London, students explored teaching practices across Scotland and England through school visits and collaboration with educators at Gracemount Primary School and Alec Reed Academy.

Along the way, they conducted individualized research projects, where they dove into the differences and connections between Scottish, English, and U.S. education systems. The experience sparked powerful insights into how culture and teaching practices shape learning around the world.
