Summer Programs
Providing students with the critical learning skills they need during the summer months.
Our Summer Academy Program provides students the opportunity to sustain the growth they have achieved during the school year. Students will participate in small instructional groups with a focus in reading, written expression and math. Core classes provide each student with experience in the Orton-Gillingham Approach, Multisensory Math, and learning strategies in written expression, comprehension and study skills. Students will become strategic learners as they develop time management, self-advocacy and social skills. The curriculum is adapted to meet the needs of each student to ensure that he/she experiences school success.
Many students considering Horizon Academy’s School Year Program attend the summer program as a way to see if we are the right fit for the student’s needs. Horizon Academy may, in some cases, request that a student attend the Summer Academic Program as we evaluate a student’s placement in the School Year Program. Enrollment for Summer 2022 has begun.

Orton-Gillingham Tutoring

Orton-Gillingham is an instructional approach intended primarily for use with persons who have difficulty with reading, spelling and writing of the sort associated with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities. This multisensory approach is diagnostic, prescriptive, systematic, structured, and personalized to meet the needs of the learner.
Supportive Tutoring
