6-Week Summer Enrichment Program
At the heart of Horizons is a six-week summer program where dedicated teachers guide small classes through a dynamic, culturally rich curriculum that builds skills in literacy, STEM, and whole-child growth.
Summer Program Highlights:
- Early Childhood enrichment for our Pre-K students ensures that they are Kindergarten ready in the fall. Our bilingual teachers provide instruction in Spanish (and English) so that students can learn the alphabet, number sequencing, and how to be part of a caring community. Swimming, bike riding, field trips, art and music round out the curriculum.
- Academic enrichment in math and language arts for all students. Students that need additional support work with our reading specialist and math interventionist.
- Daily swim instruction for grades K - 4th; free swim time for older students.
- Art instruction and music classes for all students.
- Extensive health & wellness programming for each grade, including sports, yoga, lessons in health, nutrition, body image, and self-care.
- Social-emotional support includes access to counselors and classes with topics including practicing kindness and empathy, conflict resolution, and anger management.
Celebrations to mark academic milestones including continuations and graduations.- Summer Opportunities for High School students include a one-week Game Plan experience focused on career exploration, design thinking, and capped with an overnight trip. Afterward, students spend the rest of the summer volunteering or interning with Horizons, pursuing other internships, or participating in academic enrichment programs.
- Field Trip Fridays for all students include a strong focus on providing opportunities to experience the wonders of nature and outdoor environmental education. Recent outings include Lincoln Hills Cares, We Don’t Waste, the Denver Zoo and more.
- Overnight Trips from 5th grade through high school, students take part in overnight trips that are designed to get students outside, learning about the natural world. Our outdoor education programs also help cultivate leadership and team-building skills that our students might not otherwise be exposed to.
