Endya Ross

School Age Staff
Hi, my name is Endya (pronounced in-DEE-yuh), and I’m 21 years old. I’ve always had a passion for learning and teaching. I initially studied phlebotomy with plans to pursue neuroscience, but I soon realized my true calling, working with children. Seeing their curiosity and growth is incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited to be part of their learning journey!

From Our Horizon Parents:

"Horizon's after school program has helped my son improve his performance in spelling and math. The staff gives him individualized attention that helps him meet his goals. The program also lets him make new friends and explore new interests. He has developed an interest in science thanks to the program and its excellent staff."

"My daughter suffers from separation anxiety and ADHD and with the help of the awesome teachers, she has improved drastically. They help you reach the milestones you set for your child and help get them ready for the outside world. The teachers make your child feel so welcome, it's like her second family."

"Two of my children attend Triskett Station. The staff has gone above and beyond for them. My daughter really struggled this year and they showed her compassion and love beyond expectation. They've never used a 'One Size Fits All' approach, but instead tailored their approach to her needs."
