The teachers and staff at Horizon Christian truly care, fueling not only brainpower but also confidence and character in our kids. Their grades and attitudes reflect the positive nurturing attention they receive each day. We came from a larger public school environment and had reservations about a small school. Those reservations have been replaced with a desire to be our best and contribute to this amazing team of spiritually gifted individuals. We love it at Horizon
