Horizons National is an award-winning summer learning program serving low-income public school students on campuses of independent schools and colleges. Across the country, Horizons affiliates challenge children academically, socially and physically, inspiring them to become life-long learners. Beginning in Kindergarten, Horizons supports children throughout their elementary and secondary school years, building enduring learning communities.
Horizons partners with public schools to serve students with a broad range of academic abilities in a six week full-day educational enrichment summer session. Students make enormous gains in academics and confidence and return to their schools better prepared for the year ahead.
Horizons National works side by side with its partners offering a wide array of support services from initial concept to a program in action. Horizons' unique diverse and distributed funding model allows an affiliate to run a Horizons program at no cost to the school.
Horizons closes opportunity gaps for low-income children, transforming their lives and opening doors to a brighter future. Horizons students leave positive impacts on their communities. See Horizons featured on NBC Nightly News’ Making a Difference segment.
