Established in 1994 on the campus of the Horace Mann School as a five-week summer experience for 21 public school students, SOH has grown into a year-round, after-school program that has now served 650 students. SOH’s 2009 summer session enrollment is comprised of 208 students in grades 3-8 and 25 high school mentors.

SOH was incorporated by NY State in 2004 and received its 501(c)(3) from the IRS in 2005. A separate fiscal entity from Horace Mann, SOH recruits its students from 100 public school partners across the Bronx and upper Manhattan.
