Our History

In 2000, Greens Farms Academy established the Horizons Student Enrichment Program to address the achievement gap in low-income Bridgeport students. Horizons at GFA held its first six-week summer session with 26 kindergarten and first grade students from two Bridgeport schools.

Adding a new kindergarten class each summer, the program reached full capacity in grades kindergarten through 8th in 2007. In 2010, the High School Program was established to protect and build on the gains our students made in the K-8 program.  To have an even earlier impact on Bridgeport students’ learning, we welcomed our first class of PreK students in June 2013. In the fall of 2016, our College Success Program was established to assist high school graduates with the transition to and completion of their post-secondary education.

Horizons at GFA currently serves over 230 students and is one of over 50 affiliates of the Horizons National Student Enrichment Program network across the United States.
