To advance educational equity for Norwalk students by providing academic and enrichment opportunities, a collaborative community, and an inspirational learning environment.
Founded in 1964 and expanding nationally since 1995, Horizons is a network of high-quality, tuition-free, immersive academic and enrichment programs for children in under-served communities, providing out-of-school-time support for the duration of a child’s K-12th grade experience. With 65 Horizons programs across 19 states, and growing by 5-7 new sites each year, Horizons is unique among summer programs because: (1) we make a long-term investment in our students; (2) we partner with students’ families; and (3) we support both academic achievement and healthy youth development.
Horizons at CT State Norwalk began with one classroom of kindergarten children in 2013, and the following year we added both a 1st grade and a Pre-K class. Fast forward to this Summer 2024, we now serve 120 children in Pre-K through 8th grade. Horizons at CT State Norwalk is anchored by a six-week summer program, guided by a professional faculty in a nurturing environment. The program is committed to the development of the whole child through experiences that enhance self-esteem, build problem-solving skills, and encourage a lifelong interest in learning. Horizons emphasizes academics, the arts, social growth, and athletics. Like all Horizons affiliates, we provide the fun and confidence-building of swimming and water safety instruction.
