Broadway Bound Children's Theatre creates a transforming experience for children ages 5-18 through participation in a dynamic theatre arts program that combines a fun & supportive atmosphere with professional standards. We serve children of all experience levels & from all backgrounds. Broadway Bound challenges children to develop their mental, physical, emotional, social & creative potentials through the joy & discipline of live theatre.

Broadway Bound is about more than just learning to sing, act & dance. Our spring & fall musicals require more than 40 hours of rehearsals leading to multiple performances. Our kids learn commitment, cooperation & compassion as they master the material. They are treated not as kids but as budding young professionals. They discover important things about themselves & their ability to achieve lofty ambitions.Their confidence soars. The pride they feel when the final curtain falls at the end of their run is easily seen in the sparkle in their eyes & the smiles on their faces.

Hi! We're Amy & Phoenix! Co-founders and co-directors of Three Dragons Academy.

Our production company, Three Dragons Productions (aka TDP), was officially founded in 1996 to provide children's theatre and music education. We innovated established arts education by focusing on child-centered learning, non-competitive games and auditions, and teaching by integrating subjects into projects - namely, we gave the reins of full productions to the kids and then stepped back - to then serve mainly as guides for their curiousity.

Three Dragons Academy is the next step: an innovation in elementary arts education, a part-time academy for full-time learners: ideal for fans of alternative education -such as homeschooling, unschooling and part-time schooling.

University Park has many well preserved American Arts and Crafts houses which make our neighborhood interesting and inviting. Our two main Boulevards, 17^th Ave NE and Ravenna Boulevard, were created by the Olmsted Brothers who planned a major part of Seattle’s parks and boulevard system in the early 20^th century. In the north we have Ravenna Park, a remarkable oasis of quiet in the middle of the City (OK, there are exceptions, such as when medieval battles rage in the ravine). Ravenna Park transitions into Cowan Park and its playground to the west.

University Park is part of the University District with many shops, restaurants and other amenities along University Way and the surrounding streets. It is of course close to the University of Washington, which offers a variety of programs and performances for the general public. To the east we are close to the University Village shopping center, accessible through the 52^nd Street Hillclimb, which also provides good exercise on the way down and in particular on the way back up. The University District has excellent public transport connections to downtown Seattle as well as many other parts of the City.

Welcome to our University Park Neighborhood!

Yugakusha School is for Japanese & Japanese-American children who want to pursue a traditional Japanese education in the U.S. We strongly believe that early childhood language & culture education is the key to becoming fully bilingual and bicultural. The curriculum is especially designed for pre-school through third grade children, ages one & a half to eight.

It is a big challenge to sustain two languages as children mature, but if the methods are appropriate it's very possible. The methods we use are the Iishi & Mukouyama methods, both of which encourage a deep understanding of the meaning as well as the form of Japanese language. We are very proud to educate children who will have a strong cross-cultural education.We believe they will help foster a better world for the next generation.
