New Horizon School

Excellent special needs school! Our son has a mild intellectual disability and has been thriving at NHS. The staff is very supportive and provides a lot of personal attention to the students. The “vibe” from the students and staff is always very positive. They spend a lot of effort on getting students prepared for life after graduation.

New Horizon has been the perfect match for our son- an unquestionable 5 stars! We have significant experience in the public school system and with a different private school. New Horizon clearly sets the bar when it comes to keeping the needs of our son first, always. At prior schools we (and our son's therapist) spent significant time (and $) creating systems for our son and then trying to "sell" the school on using them. It was a constant battle, and a stressful situation all around. We found ourselves continually having to reassure these other schools/teachers that it would be ok, that our son had potential, had capability, that he was worthy of the effort. From the very beginning, New Horizon was reassuring us that everything would be ok, that our son would learn, that he had great potential! They had all the systems we were trying to implement at other schools already in place! He's currently finishing up his second year at New Horizon and things couldn't be better. His teachers are invested and committed in his future. School administrators are proactive and amazingly experienced. Our son continues to make great strides (academically and socially) and loves his school. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, COVID happened and it became immediately clear New Horizon was setting the bar once again. Our other (typically developing) son is in local public school and it's been a real challenge moving to an online learning program. Not so with New Horizon. They've been very organized in developing and supporting online learning. Our son is no where near as independent as our son who attends public school, yet the transition has been far more successful. He doesn't seem to have missed a beat in his learning progress and his ability to complete work independently may have actually accelerated! While it's difficult to say what the future holds for our son, we are certain New Horizon has already made an invaluable difference in our son's life!

Excellent school. This school not only supports our son, but my husband and me as well. The leadership at this school is intuitive and caring, the teachers are all fantastic, and the support staff is kind and compassionate. Our son's social and academic struggles are effectively handled and he is encouraged to be the best version of himself. I feel his teachers genuinely care about him and his future. SO BLESSED to have found this school. Can't imagine what our son would be like if he didn't attend NHS. This school is a gift to the entire community and surrounding areas.

I'm a parent of a young lady who attended NHS 6-12 grade. This school does little to motivate students who are not "super stars". Students who appear to have a bright future are given more attention and caring than students who are identified as struggling. During career cruising my daughter was told she could not do many jobs because of "this or that" There is a way to tell a student they should explore other options rather than tell them directly that they can't do something. This school did nothing to help build my daughter up, rather it tore her down. Very high tuition for what you get.

We really like New Horizon School. Our son recently started here and he is happier, more confident, and becoming more independent. We hear positive comments about him whenever we interact with the office staff. Everyone here has a commitment to children who are unique learners and we are very pleased.
