Welcome to Horizon.
Welcome to Horizon.
Horizon is an alternative program within the Toronto District School Board, housed at Central Toronto Academy. We serve Grade 7 and 8 students who are ready to take on an academically challenging, experiential program — one where they learn to think critically, collaborate deeply, and show up for their community.
Our school runs differently. We start the day at 9:45 am. We take trips — real ones, to Montreal and beyond. We build skills in time management, communication, and problem-solving not through worksheets but through doing.
If that sounds like your child, we'd love to meet them.

Beyond the textbook. Trips, simulations, and hands-on projects bring curriculum to life across every subject.
Whole Student Focus
Whole Student Focus
A 9:45 am start, small-group classes, and a strong equity lens — because a good school takes care of the whole person.
Real Community
Real Community
Clubs, committees, sports teams, a student-run yearbook, and school pets. Horizon is a place you belong.
