Our vision is a future in which every child thrives.
Horizons works with students and families to help transform the way students see themselves and their future.
[My three children] made beautiful memories at Horizons and the curriculum made it so that they retained learning skills to help them be successful for the school year. The work that you all do means a lot to my family, thank you for your efforts!

Together We Spell the Opportunity for Success
Summer Learning Program
For six weeks in the summer, Horizons students, who experience inequities in their education, are inspired by skilled professionals in small group settings that are academically and culturally diverse. After a healthy breakfast each day, children focus on targeted reading and mathematics lessons. The curriculum is student-centered and hands-on to maximize student engagement and retention. Our teachers tailor their instruction to address individual challenges, so the children can return to their classrooms in the fall ready for success. Afternoons are filled with water safety instruction, various on-campus enrichment activities, and field trips that teach students about their communities and the world.
Horizons of Kent and Queen Anne's offers a tuition-free, academic and enrichment program located on the campuses of The Gunston School in Centreville and Kent School in Chestertown. Students must qualify for the Free and Reduced Meals Program to enroll.
Horizons High School Leadership Program
During the academic year, Horizons provides monthly meetings for the students that have completed the PreK-8 summer program to provide an extra layer of support as they tackle those important high school years. During our get-togethers, we explore leadership styles, career opportunities, financial literacy, and goal-setting. Our group size is small so that we can tailor the program to meet each students' needs and interests.
Horizons helps students transform the way they see themselves and their future. They are excited to learn. They graduate from high school and go on to attend college or post-secondary training. With a network of support behind them, Horizons students embrace a more expansive view of what’s possible.
