A Life-Changing Experience at Horizon Christian School!I have been with Horizon Christian School since 2006 as an employee and parent of two graduates (2010 and 2012). Horizon Christian profoundly influenced their lives, shaping their academic growth, character development, and relationships within a vibrant, Christ-centered community. They expanded their interests and involvement in school more than we would have ever thought they would due to how safe and supportive the school community was. Students are challenged academically to excel at their highest level, with many advanced and dual credit courses. As an employee, it's been a blessing to work for a school that values each student and adult and prioritizes our strong Christian faith-based mission, calling, and vision. Each year, we improve by adding academic programs, expanding extracurricular activities, increasing our sports offerings, and recruiting dedicated teachers, coaches, and staff. This growth ensures that every student has the tools to thrive in a supportive, faith-driven environment.I am grateful for Horizon Christian's lasting impact on my family and for the opportunity to be part of such an amazing community.

I highly recommend Horizon Christian for multiple reasons: steady focus on having a Christ-centered, Bible-believing foundation; continuous improvement of raising the bar on academic excellence; dedication to pursuing a high level of faculty-student - parent relationships; overall positive, nurturing learning environment.

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
