We Believe In Opportunity For All Children

PreK-8 Program - Building the Foundation

PreK–8 Program

Horizons GFA starts early: PreK-8 students focus on building the foundational skills critical to life-long success. Our programming closes learning gaps, builds academic skills and develops social-emotional skills in a culture of high expectations and nurturing relationships. Students develop confidence, self-esteem, and motivation to strengthen their school performance while learning to maintain a positive attitude and build strong relationships.

High School Program - The Critical Years

High School Program

One-on-one mentoring to build on the gains of the PreK-8 years: Horizons GFA high school students receive individual support from a carefully matched academic coach/mentor to continue to develop the academic and SEL skills needed for high school success. To prepare for the next step, students receive extensive SAT prep and support from a college advisor who helps them and their families navigate the college admission and financial aid process.

College Success Program

College Success Program

It's hard to be first: over two-thirds of Horizons GFA high school graduates are first-generation college students. Due to academic gaps, cultural differences and financial obstacles, the post-secondary completion rate of first-generation students in the U.S. is as low as 11%. Horizons GFA's College Success Program supports students in areas that most often challenge first-generation students so they successfully persist toward their degree.

Mission

Horizons GFA partners with underserved students from Bridgeport to develop strong academic, social and emotional skills, habits of mind and the resilience to succeed in school and pursue a meaningful, choice-filled life.

Approach

Horizons GFA provides access and opportunity to underserved Bridgeport students from PreK through college by emphasizing academics and social-emotional learning while providing exposure to a wide variety of social, cultural and recreational enrichment experiences. The organization is comprised of three integrated programs — PreK-8, High School and College Success — designed to support students as they progress through their educational journey.

Horizons Students Go The Distance



100% of Horizons high school graduates enroll in college and 94% are persisting toward their degree. The majority of underserved students in Connecticut make it only to high school graduation.
