School Notes
- School Motto: We facilitate the way to the horizon
- Golden Horizon Academy was created to provide present and future generations with the essential tools to thrive in and outside of the classroom. We believe that children must first feel safe and supported to begin promoting cognitive development. Our school family atmosphere will ensure that students feel encouraged to express themselves freely without fear or judgment. Students will feel motivated to make decisions for themselves and inspired to explore their interests. We recognize that children grow and learn at their own pace, which is why we embrace different teaching and learning styles. Throughout the day, students will be engaging in hands-on activities and project-based learning. We will guide students in the direction of their full potential by using their strengths to overcome obstacles and establishing a secure relationship with parents and families. Together we will help students utilize their skills for future success.
