Summer Slide

“Summer slide” is defined as the accumulated lack of summer experiences that cause a child to lose academic ground. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the majority of students from underserved communities do not participate in enriching, constructive summertime activities, and too often return to school even further behind their more fortunate peers.

Horizons Atlanta addresses the opportunity gap for underserved students by offering our range of academic and healthy youth development programs free of charge to the community. Our scholars benefit from long-term participation in our signature six-week summer learning program and through afterschool and special weekend programs.
