Who we are

Twenty-seven years ago, Horizons at Colorado Academy was founded with a clear and inspiring vision: to ensure every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. What began as a small summer program offering enrichment opportunities for children has evolved into a vibrant community that now serves more than 200 students each summer.

In 2023, Graland Country Day School and Montessori School of Denver joined forces with Colorado Academy to form Horizons Colorado — a united effort to raise funds, increase awareness and expand access to life-changing educational experiences for children across the state.

Today, Horizons Colorado serves students from preschool through college at the three schools, empowering young learners to build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. Our goal remains steadfast: to close opportunity gaps and ensure that every child, regardless of background or zip code, can experience the joyful and transformative power of education.

Horizons Colorado operates from a core belief that every child across Colorado should have access to high-quality educational opportunities. Our bold vision is to close the opportunity gap for Colorado students—promoting education for all and a lifelong joy in learning—by adapting proven, nationwide best practices to the unique strengths and needs of our local communities. Horizons Colorado aims to expand its impact across Colorado, to exceed 1000 students!
