Programs Horizons-Upward Bound is a program that provides educational opportunity for students from families of limited means who come from the public school system in Detroit, Pontiac, Highland Park and Berkley. Horizons-Upward Bound has been active on the campus for the past 30 years. Currently twenty-five HUB students attend Cranbrook Kingswood.
Students generally enter the program at the end of the eighth grade.
Candidates are nominated by their schools, tested in reading and mathematics, and interviewed by members of the HUB staff. They are measured also against federal guidelines which include age, income and need for academic support. Those selected make a commitment to stay in the program through their high school years. Students must maintain minimum grade point averages and participation is reviewed annually. The HUB program is active twelve months a year.
