Accredited School Offers Transformative Programs Following Highest Curriculum in the US Focused on Creating Flexible and Cost-Effective Targeted Learning Environments to drive better performance on critical learning areas for next generation students

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Multi-phased investment firm Black Dragon Capital℠ ("Black Dragon") has founded Dragons Academy, a school offering the highest accredited curriculum in the United States through transformative programs focused on nurturing each student through personalized, one-on-one education to drive higher performance with greater flexibility and greater value to families.

Dragons Academy is led by experts in personalized education and student development, proven technology entrepreneurs, and leaders who have built successful billion-dollar global organizations. Dragon Academy is designed to address the increasing frustration with public and private education, by focusing on the critical accredited courses and delivering one on one learning, to drive greater learning and maximize the potential of each student, in a more cost-effective way to families. 

Black Dragon Capital℠ Introduces Dragons Academy

Black Dragon Capital℠ and Dragons Academy have formed a strategic partnership rooted in a shared vision: to empower the next generation of leaders, innovators, and scholars through transformative education. This collaboration brings together Black Dragon Capital's deep expertise in building high-impact sustainable organizations and its strong commitment to community empowerment with Dragons Academy's dedication to personalized, one-on-one learning.

Dragons Academy was founded by Louis Hernandez Jr, a successful global business leader, award winning entrepreneur, recognized author, and former educator, and Sarah Hernandez, a proven business executive, certified athletic coach, and former US Marine. Through their foundation, the Louis Hernandez Jr, For A Bright Future Foundation, they have made access to quality education a priority through their numerous programs including the 20 university scholarships they target annually, and the FinTech and MediaLab programs they set up in high schools across the country.

Building on their commitment to a better education, they imagined a new type of disruptive private school that focused on only the required accredited learning, in a more flexible one-on-one teacher to student environment to drive better and more focused performance for students without the distraction of political or social issues. Dragons Academy will provide a nurturing, academically rigorous environment driving students to better performance while allowing elective learning in languages, the arts and elite sport and fitness training. Initial campuses will be located in Southern Florida. At the heart of this partnership is the For a Bright Future Foundation scholarship endowment, a philanthropic initiative supported by Louis Hernandez Jr. This endowment is designed to expand access to Dragons Academy's unique educational model by providing financial assistance to students from low-income families. It reflects Black Dragon Capital's belief that investing in education is essential to strengthening communities and fostering long-term economic and social resilience, one student and one community at a time.

Focused, Flexible, and Cost-Effective Academic Programs at the Highest Curriculum Level in the US

Dragons Academy is where future innovators, leaders, and serious scholars start their academic journey. It is a flexible and cost-effective alternative to the current educational system while still offering the highest accredited curriculum in the United States with more flexibility for students and their families.

Students enrolled in Dragons Academy will benefit from:

  • A fully accredited curriculum. Dragons Academy's curriculum is fully accredited by Cognia and the NCAA, ensuring high academic standards and credibility.
  • A focused educational model that allows for significant flexibility. Dragons Academy's focused curriculum allows significant flexibility for the student and family. Annual curriculums can be tailored to the household needs. From a few months to a full year, the student will complete the accredited course load and test into the next grade level commensurate with educational standards.
  • An educational journey that's tailored to every individual. One-on-one, personalized instruction designed to cater to each student's strengths and address their learning needs, optimizing student performance.
  • Professional leadership with years of credible experience. Dragons Academy is led by Courtney Purnell, Ph.D., an expert in personalized education and student development, Marisol Rosales, Former Senior Deputy Chancellor, New York City Public Schools, along with an outstanding staff of teachers. Louis and Sarah Hernandez, along with the Black Dragon Capital team provide critical funding, operational and strategic expertise.
  • The opportunity for scholarship endowment. The For a Bright Future scholarship endowment, funded by Louis Hernandez Jr., provides financial assistance to students, expanding access to quality education.

Strategic Partnerships Committed to Community Impact

The launch of Dragons Academy aligns with national conversations around educational innovation, equity, and the role of private institutions in shaping future-ready learners. This reflects Black Dragon's broader commitment to strengthening communities through investment in transformative education. In addition, Louis Hernandez Jr. provides support to the For A Bright Future Foundation scholarship endowment, expanding access to Dragons Academy for students in low-income households. 

With the support of Black Dragon Capital℠, Dragons Academy is not only opening as a top-tier school—it is becoming a beacon of opportunity. The academy is equipped to deliver individualized instruction, foster academic excellence, and ensure that every student has the chance to thrive, regardless of financial circumstance. Together, this partnership represents a powerful commitment to building stronger communities through education and innovation. 

"At Dragons Academy, we believe every student deserves an education tailored to their strengths and aspirations," said Courtney Purnell, Ph.D., Campus Director and domain expert in Personalized Education at Dragons Academy. "Our partnership with Black Dragon Capital and the For a Bright Future Foundation scholarship endowment allows us to extend that opportunity to more learners, ensuring access to a personalized academic experience that prepares them to lead, innovate, and thrive."

"All of us recognize the shifting needs of the global economy. At Black Dragon, we invest in the future of technology in several critical industries. The Dragons Academy represents an investment in the next generation of leaders to focus on the skills that will provide better students focused on the needs for the next generation of talent driven by better preparation and critical learning in key areas. We are excited to build this educational platform, one student, one family and one community at a time", said Louis Hernandez Jr, founder and Chair of Dragons Academy.
