Outreach: Horizons at UGA
Horizons at UGA, a six-week summer learning program, welcomed 30 students from Barnett Shoals Elementary School to kick off the program’s first year in Athens.
Students engaged in reading and math in a 5-to-1 student to teacher ratio, along with weekly swim lessons and field trips that provide experiential learning.
“Our lessons are very hands-on, and that is a huge component,” said Susan Cardin, Horizons at UGA site director. “We are much more focused on the kids, and we want them to have fun. But we also want them to learn meaningful and relevant things that they’re going to connect with and take with them into the next year.”
