Welcome to Horizons K8 School!


Horizons K8 is a public charter school within the Boulder Valley School District, located in Boulder. Our school serves over 367 students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, creating an intimate learning community where every child is known and valued.

What makes Horizons Different?

As a teacher-led school, we are dedicated to developing the whole child. We create opportunities for experiential learning through outdoor education, winter sports, and project-based collaboration. Our small class sizes and combined grade levels foster a rich community that thrives on relationship-based learning—where students build meaningful connections with peers and teachers.

At Horizons K8, we are committed to creating a meaningful and engaging learning experience that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. By integrating real-world experiences and interdisciplinary learning, we make education relevant and inspiring, preparing students for a rapidly evolving world. Beyond academics, we foster a strong sense of community built on diversity, belonging, and inclusion. We welcome students from all backgrounds and perspectives, ensuring that every individual feels valued and respected.

We invite you to explore what makes Horizons K8 a unique and supportive learning environment for your child.
