Horizons K-8 School

Posted December 2, 2008

Horizons is a charter school for k-8 in the Boulder Valley School District. We have visited Horizons twice during the past month for open enrollment tours and information. I was very impressed with the openness of the staff. Teachers were ready and willing to answer any questions. They were more than happy to spend as much time with parents of prospective students as needed. Looks like some great teaching and learning is going on at this school. I especially like the emphasis on Service Learning and Outdoor Education. I wish there were more schools like this in BVSD. The only negatives I could see were no reduced/free lunches, no transportation provided, and cramped classrooms (classrooms not big enough for all the materials). Classroom sizes are 17-19 students.

The parent involvement at this unique charter school is incredibly high. The teachers and a core group of parents designed the structure of the school and that is reflected in how much everyone cares about the success of the students. Excellent experiential opportunies for active learners. Outdoor education, service learning and integrated curriculum are highlights of this excellent program. A visit is must to see if the philosophy of this popular school matches your own. There is a big waitlist so make sure to get your name in the lottery in January.
