Greenwich, CT
The Greenwich United Way’s Needs Assessment documents persistent economic and educational disparities across the district. At Horizons at Brunswick, every boy qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic challenges faced by the families we serve.
Economic circumstances and access to resources vary significantly across Greenwich families.
Differences in family resources, language proficiency, and access to enrichment can affect educational opportunities.
Horizons helps close these gaps through consistent academic support and enrichment.

The Horizons Difference
While other programs measure success by private school admission, Horizons commits to each boy and family for nine years, helping him thrive in his home school and prepare for Greenwich High School.
With Greenwich Public Schools, we identify boys who need academic support and qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
We begin after Kindergarten, when early academic support can make a lasting difference.
We stay with each boy and family through 8th grade, building consistency, trust and lasting relationships.
We help students stay on track academically and enter Greenwich High School ready to succeed.
Measurable Academic Impact
Every boy is tested before and after each summer session. The share performing at or above benchmark rises; the share needing urgent intervention falls.
