Horizons builds long term partnerships with students, families, communities, and schools to create experiences outside of school that inspire the joy of learning.
The heart of the Horizons is our Summer Learning Program, which is an exemplary academic program that supports a cohort of students in reading, writing, math, and science, paired with swimming lessons, field trips, sports, and enrichment activities in the performing and visual arts.
