The Problem
Gaps – of opportunity and achievement – continue to grow between students in under-resourced communities and their peers.
The Opportunity
Horizons students discover the joy of learning, the skills for success, and the inspiration to realize their dreams.
The Results
Increased school attendance. Improved self-esteem. Better grades. A love of learning. And a high school graduation rate of 97%.

Horizons at Carolina Day was started to help low-income students bridge the opportunity gap. Now, it is offering one-on-one tutoring, drop-in tutoring and classes. It's meant to help kids in the program stay on top of their school work during these challenging times.
