Saturday Academy

Horizons Saturday Academy provides greater support to our families throughout the year.

Horizons Greater Washington's Saturday Academy brings students together for eight Saturdays during the school year to stay connected to the relationships and community that make Horizons special. Through art, swimming, workshops, social-emotional learning, project-based activities, and more, students have opportunities to explore, create, build confidence, and grow. Guided by experienced teachers and staff, Saturday Academy helps maintain students' sense of belonging to Horizons between summers while supporting creativity, social-emotional growth, physical wellness, and age-appropriate development. 

What’s Included

The Saturday Academy is held at Bancroft Elementary School. Round-trip transportation and providing all supplies and meals (breakfast, lunch, and snack) help to remove barriers to participation, encourage attendance and retention, and ensure that our students are fueled to learn.

This project is supported in part by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
