JumpStart is announcing yet another monumental addition to School of Dragons with the release of the iPhone version of the app. School of Dragons is a critically-acclaimed science education-focused 3D massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) based on the How to Train Your Dragon franchise from Dreamworks Animation.

The iPhone version of School of Dragons joins a robust family of platforms, including all web browsers, Facebook, iPad devices (available in the iTunes app store), and Android-powered tablets (available in the Google Play and Amazon app stores). In addition to these platforms, the game will also soon be available on the nabi DreamTab created by Fuhu, a Dreamworks Animation-inspired Android-powered tablet.
