Our Scholars & Families
Horizons Albuquerque serves students from public schools who qualify for free or reduced lunch. Their schools identify them as students who would benefit from long-term participation in an extended learning program. When students first arrive at Horizons, roughly two-thirds perform below grade level. Families commit to long-term engagement by participating in the program through high school graduation.
Horizons helps foster students’ innate curiosity, love of learning, and self-confidence. Our students return to school each fall, demonstrating literacy and math performance gains.
