Inspiring. Building. Transforming.

Horizons at Warner is a six-week, tuition-free, summer academic enrichment program serving over 150 students in the Rochester City School District grades K-8th from low socioeconomic households. One of 60 Horizons National affiliates, Horizons at Warner was the first to be located on a university campus. For the past nine summers, Horizons at Warner has been located at the Warner School of Education at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. 

Horizons at Warner dedicates itself to offering continued and lasting support to existing Horizons students and their families, which is why we have extended programming to fit the needs of our graduates, their families, and our community at large.

We continuously engage and have meaningful relationships with families as well as consistently provide a welcoming and familial environment at the University of Rochester, a dedication that shows in our student attendance and return rates.

Horizons at Warner alleviates the achievement gap that our student demographic faces using quality, authentic classroom instruction by NYS certified teachers that is sensitive to student needs and gives them new-found confidence in their academic abilities.

Due to their urban background, many students come to Horizons at Warner unable to swim and afraid of the water. Horizons at Warner provides Red Cross Certified Swim Lessons twice weekly with phenomenal swim teachers and lifeguards.
