The Horizons Gifted and Talented Programs in Academics and the Arts at CHRHS anchor the Five Town CSD’s educational opportunities for identified G/T  students. The State-approved programs serve students with both demonstrated and potential exceptional abilities in intellectual, academic, and artistic areas in the visual and performing arts. The Horizons programs at CHRHS include an array of academic opportunities: unique coursework at the high school and college levels, specially designed independent studies (often with community mentors), advanced language tutorials, Syracuse University Project ADVANCE concurrent enrollment courses, U-Maine System college courses, and other learning experiences appropriate for gifted and talented adolescents.

The regularly scheduled Horizons courses at CHRHS offer identified students challenging, fast-paced, integrative, and conceptually complex curricula. Courses are scheduled by semester on an annual or sometimes rotating basis. Most Horizons classes are vertically grouped across several grade levels and feature mandated limited enrollments set by the MDOE.
