Early Intervention, Long-Term Impact
CHeck OUt our 2022-23 Annual Report
The Horizons at SFFS program has a profound impact on students’ academic skills as well as their confidence and social-emotional learning capacities. Our long-term approach and commitment to our students allows us to get to know them on a deeply personal level as they return year over year. We’re able to identify areas of support for all of our students and see the ways Horizons supports them to grow.
Each summer, our students gain on average 2-3 months of reading and math skills. A 2018 study of Horizons affiliates found that Horizons students had higher school attendance rates and higher proficiency rates on math and science assessments than their peers, with students who had attended the program from K through 5th grade showing the biggest improvements.
