Programs

Horizons is a multi-year learning and enrichment model that supports children and their families from pre-K to high school graduation—over the summer, after school, and on weekends throughout the year.

What makes the Horizons approach different?

Through small-group, project-based learning, students experience a blend of high-quality academics, cultural enrichment, and confidence-building activities like swimming, arts, sports, and health and wellness. With support from mental health professionals, social-emotional learning is woven into every aspect of the program, helping students build resilience, wellbeing, and stronger academic outcomes.

How does the learning model work?

Horizons’ hallmark is an intensive six-week summer program. In small classes led by professional educators, students dive into a culturally vibrant curriculum focused on literacy, STEM, and whole-child development. During the school year, students and families stay connected through Saturday programs, special events, and community reunions that nurture lasting relationships.
