Horizon Charter Schools

Sacramento Academy for Enterprising Youth (SAEY), a Horizon Charter Schools program, is located at 3161 Dwight Road in Elk Grove. SAEY provides a "Hybrid" educational option to students in the Elk Grove and South Sacramento areas. Serving students grades K-12, SAEY offers small, personalized college preparatory classes in English, Social Science, Mathematics, and Science. These core classes are reinforced and expanded through work-based learning activities such as career-related student competitions, internships, simulated workplace experiences, technical mentoring, and school-based enterprises. Students attend two days per week and work independently for the other three days.

Quality Education through Personalized Learning. At Horizon Charter Schools (HCS) we believe every child can excel academically and personally. A Personalized Learning Plan (PLP) is developed for every child based on California Academic Content Standards and the child’s abilities, interests, and aptitudes. Students are largely responsible for their educational inquiry and pursuits.

Homeschool/Independent Study
HCS's focus is developing and implementing homeschool and independent study programs that expand educational opportunities for public school children. In the homeschool program, parents are the day-to-day teachers of their children under the guidance and support of a credentialed teacher. In the high school independent study program known as Additional Educational Support Services (AESS), students meet weekly or bimonthly with their supervising teacher and study independently on their own. Academic and elective classes are available in several locations and students may also enroll in private instruction. Distance learning is widely used and many field trips are offered. Special education services are provided to eligible students.

Credentialed Supervising Teachers
The schools employ highly qualified, state credentialed educators to work with parents and students to design and implement a PLP that fits the students’ learning styles and educational goals. Student instructional programs may be designed to prepare the students to continue their education at a college of their choice or to enter the workforce.
