Horizon School is a non-profit school for preschool to first grade;
located in the Richmond Beach community of
Shoreline. Parents choose Horizon School for five
reasons:
Thematic Curriculum: Each day, children rotate with their
teacher and classmates through different classrooms for instruction
in math, sciences, language arts, gross motor, creative play,
computers, fine arts and world cultures - all linked to a theme
(e.g., dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals).
Class size: Our teacher-student ratio for
preschool is 1 to 10 and 1 to 15 in kindergarten and first
grade.
Flexibiity: We offer full-time and part-time schedules,
half day or full day, and before and after school care for Horizon
students and neighboring elementary schools.
Family Atmosphere: Staff and teachers know all
students. We collaborate with parents to provide
individualized attention. Our goal is to make sure every
child feels valued and respected.
Unique Learning Experiences: Parents and children
participate in many field trips, assemblies, and parent programs.
Field trips offer real-life, community-based experiences related to
topics students are studying. Parent programs teach children
speaking and performance skills and increase their
confidence. We promote acceptance and understanding of
diversity and celebrate world cultures.
