Horizon Academy: Placing New Steps of Change...

Established in 2009, Horizon Academy was born out of a passion for education, a love for children, and an aspiration for excellence from a core group of parents and educators who believe that every child should be given the opportunity to meet and exceed his or her true potential.

 Our efforts have been focused and consistent, the faith and the vision unwavering.  The result is truly the product of synergy.  Horizon Academy is proof that dedication and hard work can indeed make dreams a reality.

"Holistic education demands that schools do more than have children read what is in their books. We should open their eyes to new experiences, challenge them to think, to create, to build, to explore."

Horizon Academy offers a school-wide positive discipline program called the Character Bee program. This program was designed to enforce school rules in a fun and easy-to-remember way. These behavioral expectations are emphasized and promoted in all areas of school life:

Four Founding Principles

Horizon Academy’s strength lies in its demonstrated ability to provide a sound academic foundation with a wide range of non-traditional lessons and activities in order to equip students for a truly holistic primary school education. This education is delivered in a caring, nurturing environment where students feel safe and happy and know that they are part of a family.
