Story

The Horizons program at Dedham Country Day School is a tuition-free, summer academic enrichment program that serves students in grades Pre-K through eighth grade. Horizons strives to be a supportive and consistent program for its students throughout their summers, academic years, and transitions into high school. At Horizons, students build self-confidence and realize their full potential both inside and outside of the classroom.

Horizons makes a long-term investment in every child that enters the program, promising ten consecutive summers of learning, with additional support throughout high school. Horizons stands out through the commitment made to its families, who return program year after year, until their students graduate. This model of consistency allows students to feel academically and emotionally supported throughout their most formative adolescent years .
