"Horizons is a valuable and effective summer program uniquely responsive to the needs of children and the community."

Dr. Edward Zigler, Yale University’s Center for Child Development & Social Policy.


"Horizons is a cool place to be because it’s nothing like school. In Horizons you can do more than one activity… the teachers are the best."
Student, Horizons at Kent School, Chestertown, Maryland


" I feel that teaching this population of students has really broadened my horizons as a teacher. I realized that these children not only viewed me as their teacher, but also as an important person in their lives. I feel privileged to teach and ‘know’ these children, and I learned I can really make a difference in someone’s life."
Teacher, Horizons at Rumson Country Day School, Rumson, New Jersey


"Brandon is excited to wake up every day to get ready for the bus. I haven’t observed that level of motivation during the school year. I think Brandon is more motivated to do academics at Horizons in the morning because he can look forward to the afternoon activities."
Parent, Horizons at Greens Farms Academy, Greens Farms, Connecticut


"...After our first group of students was involved in Horizons... the teachers couldn’t believe how much the program had changed the children. They saw them as so much more confident and available for learning.

We are a school that faces many unique challenges; Horizons is such an amazing solution to many of these challenges. We look forward to seeing Horizons grow and continue to give our children the very best opportunities for success."

A guidance counselor at the High Point Elementary School,
a partner with Horizons at Holy Innocents, Atlanta, Georgia


“ I found Science most helpful because I didn’t really understand the scientific method before.”

“Science has always been a difficult class for me. Our Science teacher taught it in a way that was fun and he made sure we understood it.”

Middle School Students

"Horizons taught me to never give up; that if you try your best, anything is possible."
