Drama Kids International provides unique, fun-filled drama and theater experiences for children and young adults around the world.

Art Program
Designed specifically for the homeschool community, the program introduces students to the foundational Elements of Art and Principles of Design through engaging, hands-on activities. Students explore concepts such as line, shape, color, texture, balance, contrast, pattern, and more, then put what they learn into practice by creating their own unique artwork.
Led by an experienced art educator, each class encourages artistic exploration while helping students develop creativity, confidence, critical thinking, and self-expression. Students also have the opportunity to connect with other homeschool students and build community through a shared love of art.
No previous art experience is required. Whether your child is an experienced artist or simply curious about creating, our Homeschool Art Program is a welcoming place to learn, create, build confidence, and have fun!
Find Friendship
Homeschooling offers flexibility and freedom, and the YMCA helps support social connection beyond academics. Our childwatch programs like Mom’s Morning Out, Parents’ Night Out, and Teen Night give homeschooled children and teens opportunities to build friendships, practice social skills, and connect with peers in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Helping them gain independence, and feel part of a larger community.
