About this employer
Our Mission & Vision Horizons Atlanta believes that every child in Atlanta, regardless of background, should have the same chance at making a positive impact on their community. We provide this opportunity by eliminating the critical barriers to success that many of our children face, thus putting them on a path to: • Read proficiently by the end of third grade • Achieve eighth grade math competency • Build swimming skills and self-confidence • Graduate from high school, college and career ready. The Horizons summer learning program model has a 50+ year track record for producing positive and consistent results. We invite students from Atlanta's underserved communities to attend a six-week summer program on the campus of an independent school, college, or university, and receive additional support throughout the year. Our project-based educational model is designed to fuel a life-long passion for learning, using a blend of high-quality academics with cultural enrichment and confidence-building activities like swimming, arts, and sports. In small classes led by professional teachers, our scholars dive into a rich curriculum with a focus on literacy, STEAM, and social-emotional learning, returning every year throughout their K-8 academic career. Outcomes include measurable gains in reading, math, swim skills and water confidence, social skills, self-esteem, school-year attendance, and high-school graduation rates. Our Horizons sites include: - Holy Innocents' Episcopal School (Atlanta's flagship site) - Atlanta International School - Atlanta Technical College - Clark Atlanta University - The Galloway School - Georgia Tech - Kennesaw State University - Purpose Built Schools - The Temple - The University of Georgia - Woodward Academy
