What We Do

Horizons Salisbury Closes the Achievement Gap investing in children from Kindergarten to open college and career opportunities.  Students enter our program as they enter first grade (Rising 1st) and receive academic and character building support throughout their elementary and secondary high school years.  Our Successes have been to:

  1. Stop the “summer slide” (summer reading and math learning loss)
  2. 98% of those students went on to post education careers with a 99% achievement rate

Students dive into a rich academic curriculum and explore music, theater, art, swimming and other activities that cultivate creativity and leadership. Returning to the program year after year, Horizons students build lasting relationships with their teachers and peers, learn to tackle new challenges, and develop lifelong skills like commitment and determination. While each Horizons site is unique, they all foster a sustainable community of learning that nurtures a curious spirit and love of learning in every child. The results? Horizons transforms the way students see themselves and the world. Their reading and math improve significantly. They return to their schools excited to learn. They graduate from high school and go on to attend college or other post-secondary training. Fueled by self-confidence and backed by a network of support, Horizons students embrace a more expansive view of what’s possible. At Horizons, we believe the American Dream is for all children. Support Horizons and help fulfill this promise for more children.
