What makes
Horizon isn't your typical school. It's a program designed from the ground up for students who want to go further — and a community that helps them get there.

A Program Built for
Motivated Learners.
Horizon is an academically challenging program that offers extended learning across all subject areas. We use the Grade 7 and 8 Ontario curriculum as a starting point — not a ceiling.
Our focus is on analysis and critical thinking. Students develop time management, organization, problem-solving, and communication skills through hands-on, experiential learning: trips, simulations, and whole-school collaborative events.
The ultimate goal is to graduate students who are independent, self-directed learners — curious about the world, comfortable with complexity, and ready to lead.

Experiential Learning
Experiential Learning
Learning happens through doing. Trips, simulations, and project-based work are central to how we teach — and are part of our everyday and ongoing learning.
Equity & Citizenship
Equity & Citizenship
Equity is embedded throughout our program. Students engage in humanitarian initiatives and student run committees to actively work on tenets of responsible citizenship.

We are a small school with one Grade 7 and one Grade 8 class. We have a 9:45 am start, and dedicated wellness programming to ensure students are supported emotionally, socially, and physically — not just academically.
