Horizons Bridgeport helps students build
critical academic and social-emotional skills
that build motivation and confidence so they
thrive and achieve in school, graduate from
high school, pursue post-secondary education and successfully build a career of their choosing.
Horizons Bridgeport partners with students and their families to maximize educational outcomes by emphasizing academics and social-emotional learning while providing exposure to a wide variety of social, cultural, and recreational enrichment experiences for students from kindergarten through college. The Horizons Bridgeport network currently consists of two programs: Horizons at Greens Farms Academy and Horizons at Sacred Heart University.
These two Horizons programs each offer a six-week, full-day summer program for students from late June to early August. Students focus on academics, social-emotional learning, and enrichment activities. Transportation and meals are included. Students receive individualized attention in small group settings to maximize impact. Full attendance is required. School year activities differ by program.
Each spring, Horizons GFA and Horizons Sacred Heart admit new students into their programs as openings occur. Programming is free, families pay only an annual $30 registration fee. The Horizons program you apply to for your child depends on the school your child currently attends.
