Serving children from the New Haven, CT community on the campus of The Foote School

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” - Benjamin Franklin

We Need Your Support!

Too many children in New Haven encounter barriers to learning and growth simply because the systems surrounding them - schools, neighborhoods, and public resources - don’t provide what every child needs to thrive.

For over a decade, Horizons at Foote has brought New Haven families together to create long-term solutions that nurture the whole child, from kindergarten through eighth grade and beyond. We blend academics with enriching experiences, supportive relationships, and the kinds of opportunities every young person needs to grow.

We can't accomplish this without your support.
You can make an impact for our students: in 9 to 12+ week gains in reading and math; in swim lessons; in books, science experiments, songs, and paintings; in confidence, new talents, and ambitions.

Although the Foote School generously provides us with facilities for minimal expense, our staff and board need to independently raise the funds required to ensure program quality into the future. We are incredibly grateful to all who have contributed in some way to our mission and vision: a future in which every child thrives.
