As a teacher, I appreciated the supportive families and sweet students. The curriculum is not comprehensive and therefore I had to supplement it with several resources I created or purchased. There is little emphasis placed on professional development for teachers and the salary is very low. The administration likes to micromanage and the teacher vibe is that teachers feel extremely supported by the families but under-appreciated by the administration.
My daughter went from pre-k through 11th grade. In elementary, the teachers and senor staff truly love the kids and do a fantastic job. My daughter was working about two years ahead of her grade at the end of elementary school. It was a different story at the Jr. /Senior High. Teachers don't seem qualified to teach college prep classes. The low level stuff was fine but the poor quality of teachers forced us to move her to a better public school. She had a very good GPA out of Horizon but really struggled when doing work at the public school. Work she already should have known from Horizon. The curiculum at Horizon does not parallel by any stretch the public system. Very tough on those leaving. Very good Drama Department. Not well funded. They charge the kids a $100 to participate in a play!
Horizon Elementary is absolutely wonderful! Both of my daughters attend there and we love it. The entire staff is dedicated, loving and committed to Biblical principles and teaching. Every teacher my children have had so far has been perfectly and prayerfully matched with my child's needs. We are so blessed to have our children in Horizon, and the girls are learning and growing by leaps and bounds.
Horizon offers a great environment for children to grow spiritually and academically. Parents are viewed as the primary educator of their children. Parents are given the opportunity to become very involved in their children's educational experience on the elementary school level. All 3 of my children attended and graduated from Horizon.
