Home Visits
Strengthening School-Home Connections
Throughout the year the staff at Horizon will be making home visits to get a glimpse of the students’ lives when they are not at school. We enjoy meeting family members and learning more about what makes our students who they are. If you are contacted by a teacher and would like a home visit, please respond to their request. If you are not contacted and would like staff members to visit your home, please contact the school at 614-475-4585 and ask for your child’s teacher. We look forward to getting to know all of our students and their families!
What is the Home Visit Program?
Each year, a selected group of students and their families will receive a home visit from our dedicated school staff. These visits will be designed to:
Show our commitment to students and their families
Share valuable school updates and resources
Strengthen family-school partnerships for academic success
Why Home Visits Matter
Schools within Concept Schools’ network have found that home visits are one of the most effective ways to build stronger relationships with students and their families. Studies show that students who received at least one home visit scored 5% higher on standardized tests and 7% higher with two or more visits compared to those with none. By creating a welcoming partnership, students feel supported both at home and in school.
Family Engagement and Participation
Horizon Science Academy Columbus encourages its families to participate in the Home Visit Program given the benefits for its students, their families, and our school. However, parents/guardians can opt to not receive a home visit if they choose.
There are multiple ways in which Horizon Science Academy Denison gets parents/guardians involved with the school. They can participate in educational projects (like our science fair), various competitions (e.g. our robotics club), national and international trips, educational camps, school events, and all other school-related activities throughout the year.
Together, we create a supportive learning environment where every student thrives both in and out of the classroom.
