Elementary

At Horizon, we believe the elementary years are about building a strong foundation. Through a focus on Academic Achievement, Biblical Truth, and Christian Character Development, we prepare students for success in middle school, high school, and beyond. Our program is intentionally designed to help students grow spiritually, academically, and socially.
 
Each grade level includes daily instruction in Bible, math, phonics/language arts, spelling, and writing, as well as history, science. Students participate weekly in music, art, PE, and library, as well an annual field trips.
 

“At Horizon we often learn kinesthetically through hands-on experiences and guided movement. These lessons are a little more risky because students have more opportunities to cause problems for themselves or others – but they are so much more enriching and beneficial to the learner than sitting in a desk quietly all day long. We believe that children are meant to learn through experiences, moving, playing, interacting with each other, exploring, and…making mistakes! This is an organic and meaningful way to practice self control, cooperation, teamwork, and build friendships.”

-Nancy Rinella, Elementary Principal
