About Discovery Homeschool Academy
OUR PURPOSE
The mission of Discovery Homeschool Academy is to provide a hands-on academic enrichment program of excellence; to lay a strong spiritual foundation from which students will grow and mature in the image of Jesus Christ; to provide weekly opportunities to interact and develop friendships among peer groups in a Christian atmosphere; and to pray for, support, and encourage families in the homeschool community.
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
A Christian-based enrichment program for homeschooled children grades K-8th with a qualified, Christian faculty. All teachers have a college degree and have a background check. Each are wonderful, caring Christians who love to work with children. Students will be creatively challenged with hands-on activities and experiments in all classes. The Academy meets on Tuesdays 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., September to May.
SAFETY & FIELDTRIPS
First Baptist Church of Raytown has provided a wonderful, large clean environment in which students can enjoy their classes. One of our best features is that all the side doors of the building are always locked. There is only one main entrance and a security guard sits at that location. Safety is the number one priority at Discovery Homeschool Academy. Teachers all carry CB's so communication is easy and quick when needed.
 Throughout the school year, Discovery organizes a variety of fieldtrips, such as the Shatto Milk Company, The Marble Factory, The Cotery Theatre and Kalediscope, The Puppetry Institute and much more. We are always open to new ideas on places you would like for us to coordinate. Our fieldtrips are scheduled on a different day of the week. Each month, the Discovery newsletter will inform you of trip details so that you can decide if you would like to join in. Group rates and going with homeschool friends is always a plus!
PARENT MEETINGS
The second Tuesday of every month there is an optional parent meeting on topics such as How to Deal with Distractions, Record Keeping, Home-made Games, etc. We also strive to answer any questions and encourage every parent! Occasionally guest speakers will be available to share their expertise and insight. Join us and look forward to being inspired!
