Powerhouse Enrichment Program

Learning Enrichment is ESSENTIAL for success in today’s highly competitive academic and future employment environment.

With a low Teacher to Student Ratio (11:1), a highly qualified staff, and hands-on support from a dedicated support team, your student will be given the best opportunity for success!

Beginning with the 2013-2014 school-year, D200 will adopt the new Common Core Curriculum.  Powerhouse staff will begin the academic year assessing students and preparing Individual Learning Plans for each child enrolled in the Enrichment Program.

Each Powerhouse student will not only enjoy the stand HOC Academy After School Program, but will be given dedicated time in the “study room” to work on their enrichment activities.  Every thirty hours of Powerhouse “work time” leads to another assessment so parents and teachers know progress is being made!

Consider your child’s opportunities with Powerhouse Learning Enrichment Program.  A small weekly fee covers the cost of this program.
