Horizons at Foote

In Partnership with The Foote School 

Kindergarten through 8th-grade New Haven Public School (NHPS) students attend a six-week summer enrichment program on the campus of The Foote School. Students engage in a full-day program that combines literacy, math, STEM and the arts with daily swimming at Albertus Magnus College. Each day, children enjoy a healthy breakfast and lunch served family-style. They participate in enriching activities including yoga, gymnastics, sports, art, and music, tend a garden and enjoy enriching field trips to beaches, farms, art galleries and so much more.

Horizons students return for nine consecutive summers and engage in school year hosted events and opportunities. Each year, as our students persist through NHPS, we will enroll a new class of 16 Kindergartners. The program’s goals are to reverse summer learning loss, equip our students for academic success and to help close the student achievement gap. 

Our Mission: Horizons at Foote advances educational equity through a robust academic and enrichment program that builds on long-term partnerships with families and communities to provide a joyful, safe, and inspiring learning environment that empowers students from New Haven Public Schools to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Horizons at Foote is truly amazing. When I got home from work the boys could not stop talking about their super Saturday at Horizons. It is so refreshing to find such genuine, loving and caring educators that truly love the children.
