Our Administrative Team
Supporting Horizon's work in admissions, operations, and outreach.
Our Staff
These talented individuals will be assisting you alongside your assigned academic mentor as you complete your Horizon Project. The Horizon Academic Research Program's team oversees the logistical aspects of our high school research program. We run Horizon's in-house writing center, oversee scheduling matters, and provide ongoing advice and support for students as they engage in the process of academic research.
Our team collaborates with (and is distinct from) our 83 academic instructors from universities such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, MIT, Dartmouth, Cambridge, Oxford, and Columbia. You can view a list of some of our academic instructors here.
