Horizons provides an opportunity to collaborate a variety of services offered children with ranges of skills and talents who may be at risk of falling academically behind their peers not only during the summer but throughout the school year as well. Horizons consists of a Summer Enrichment Program with tutoring during the school year (Academic Connections Program). The Summer Learning Program entails an intensive six-week summer program for students in rising 1st through rising 9th grades with the goal of closing the academic achievement gap by promoting academic, social, and cultural development through teaching the Horizons way with hands on learning. Teaching all Horizons students the lifesaving skill of swimming is another main component to the Summer Learning Program curriculum. This program is housed outside of the public school setting to offer students a change of scenery during their participation in the summer.
