School Life
Outdoor Education
One of the hallmarks of the Horizons K–8 experience is Outdoor Education. Each fall, just a month into the school year, students step outside the classroom for one of the most memorable experiences of their year.
Every grade level takes on an adventure suited to their age — kindergartners exploring pond ecosystems, middle schoolers ziplining, hiking, and camping overnight. Across all grades, the focus is the same: team building, healthy risk-taking, and building relationships outside the normal rhythms of the school day.
It's a beloved part of our program, and one that sets the tone for the year ahead.
Winter Sports
Students in all grades spend several days in the winter enjoying activities such as skiing, ice skating, tubing, hiking, indoor tennis, and swimming. Learning to be together outside of the school walls is an emphasis of our winter sports program.
