I have been very displeased with my experience with New Horizons Home School Academy. As a parent I feel it is my right to ask questions and come to a resolution when it involves the education of my child, but asking questions only seems to leads to problems. When dealing with an issue that concerns my childs education, I feel the school has handled my concerns unprofessionally and without a solution. This school needs to learn to be a part of the solution rather than a part of the problem. In order for a school to be successful, the administration, teachers, parents, students and support staff must work as a team. Principals must work with the staff to make school a welcoming place for all students and their families, sadly this is not the case at New Horizons Home School Academy.
This school's method of working with students that have "disciplinary problems" as described on their website is to actually dismiss, expel or move the student to another program when they have a disciplinary issue at the parent's expense, without truly working with the student to improve his/her discipline. Also, students are given study material and are left to work on it on their own, while they are sitting in a warehouse with climate/temperature problems, turned into a "classroom" environment and the "teacher's" way of assisting a student is to refer to a book or the Internet and tell the student to read about the answer, without taking the time to really assist him/her.
Teachers are great here, they are very involved and actually seem to care not only about my daughters education, but for her well being and personal growth. I am always informed of my daughters progress and have a good relationship with educators as well. Since attending this school my daughter has found she actually likes school and the work she is doing! All around great programs tailored for each individual student. A delightful school, so happy to have found it!
