DHA's Enrichment Program offers Pre-K to 12th grade students the opportunity for hands-on learning. Brain-based research shows that students learn and retain information best when using all their senses. Students enjoy singing songs, playing games, participating in experiments, creating beautiful art, and actively moving through the day. All this active energy is creatively channeled while the students are learning grade level standards that are age appropriate. Our partnership creates a well-rounded school year experience for each child. When attending only the one day a week enrichment program, Pleasant Hill and Lee's Summit homeschooling parents may choose whatever curriculum they would like to utilize at home the other days of the week.

DHA Enrichment Program- Grade Level Information:

Pre-K
(4 years old by September 1st): Students are in a self-contained classroom where they can bond with one teacher. Our Pre-K class is centered around the development of gross motor and fine motor skills, as well as cognitive development. Each day consists of circle time, learning centers, Art, Music, STEM, and more. Pre-K also participates in snack time, quiet time, and recess.
Kindergarten
(5 years old by September 1st): Students are in a self-contained classroom and enjoy learning centers, PE, Art, Music, STEM, and more. Kindergarteners also participate in show and tell, snack time, and recess. The year ends with a special Kindergarten graduation!
Grades 1st - 6th
Students are assigned to a class for the school year where they develop friendships and travel to 6 specialty classes throughout the day. Students enjoy fun, hands-on instruction in PE, Art, Music, Social Studies, Spanish, & STEM!
Grades 7th - 12th
Enrichment classes are geared to supplement and create a well-balanced school year. Valuable classroom opportunities are provided that are difficult to do alone or at home. Pleasant Hill and Lee's Summit homeschooling parents will be provided with a specific daily schedule for your student at Back to School Night so that you can appropriately track your homeschooling hours for DHA days.

​​​​Parents are not required or expected to help during the school day. It is the parent's day to do fun or needed things on DHA days! However, we do encourage parents to help with class parties and field day!
​
Safety
Safety of children and staff are very important to us. We provide a qualified armed officer at each Kansas City homeschool group location each school day. All teachers and staff undergo an in-person interview, background check, and abuse awareness training.

Are you curious about homeschool co-ops, enrichment programs, or Christian homeschooling groups in Pleasant Hill or Lee’s Summit, Missouri?
Our Kansas City homeschool drop-off programs are a wonderful option for your child's education, and we have 4 homeschool academy locations across the KC metro with qualified teachers, including our Pleasant Hill location, just south of Lee’s Summit, MO.
While Pleasant Hill homeschool co-ops and homeschool drop-off programs both support local homeschooling families, they function quite differently. A Pleasant Hill or Lee's Summit homeschool co-op would usually be a collaborative effort where parents take an active role, often teaching classes, organizing activities, and sharing responsibilities. In contrast, our homeschool drop-off program allows parents to leave their children in the care of qualified instructors for a set time period, offering structured lessons without requiring parental participation. While co-ops emphasize shared teaching and parental involvement, homeschool drop-off programs like ours provide more independence for parents while still ensuring a structured educational experience for students in Cass County and Jackson County, MO.
