Dragon’s Eye Learning Center

DELC’s purpose is to provide educational experiences of cooperative and sustainable agricultural and economic systems.  To meet this purpose, the Center has for seven years offered local children an assortment of environmental, fine arts, and tutoring programs at its rural site in Kapoho, Hawai’i. 

DELC is currently focused on two programs:  the Dragonfly Learning Environment/4-H Club and Aquaponics/Natural Farming education.

The Dragonfly Learning Environment/4-H Club is a 4 day/week extracurricular program for home schooled and other children aged 4-18.   For 2009, Dragonfly will implement an innovative educational model which emphasizes child-directed learning, democracy, and personal responsibility.  Click here to find out more.
