    About Us

    Horizons Greater Boston is a community-centered education program serving students from the Greater Boston Metro area. We advance educational equity by building long-term partnerships with students, families, communities, and schools to create experiences that inspire the joy of learning.

    Horizons Greater Boston (HGB) was founded in 2019 to expand Horizons programming in the Boston area and to support existing area sites, which included Horizons at Dedham Country Day School and Horizons at Lexington Montessori School. Horizons partners with these independent schools, to serve children who have been affected by systemic inequalities and who attend public schools in the Greater Boston area. HGB launched Horizons at Mattahunt Elementary School in 2019. Horizons Greater Boston is an affiliate of Horizons National, which has over 70 programs in 20 states nationwide.

    Currently serving approximately 400 students with a goal of expanding to build capacity to serve 700 students by 2026, Horizons Greater Boston is continuing to build upon the strong community of support in the Greater Boston area within our three existing local sites. We are committed to building new partnerships with all types of educational institutions - public, private, and charter schools, colleges, and universities - to launch thriving and sustainable community-based Horizons programs across Greater Boston and provide more opportunities for students to learn, grow, and achieve their goals.
