Yes, we have alumni who choose to go on to 4-year universities/colleges, and community colleges. Some alumni may choose a different path of attending a trade school or join the military post-graduation.

Once a student is ready to transition from Horizon Academy back to a traditional school environment, students consider public, independent, and parochial schools. The preferences and needs of each student are considered by the family. Our faculty and staff help support the process so a family can best identify the schools that will provide the best environment for each unique student.

As you reconsider enrollment for your child, the Admissions Committee would like you to proceed through part of the process. The parents would need to re-visit with the head of school and admissions representative to discuss the student’s experiences since the last visit and share any additional diagnostic reports. Although the student may not need to be re-screened, he/she will need to visit with the principal, counselor, and head of school. Enrollment will also be based on the availability of a spot within the program.

At Horizon Academy, we recognize that the needs of each child are very different. As a transition school, many of our students attend for 2 - 5 years, with an average of 3 years. 

Yes. Horizon Academy offers need-based financial assistance for the school year program only. If a student has been accepted for admission to the School Year Program, families are then able to apply for a scholarship. Need-based scholarships are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. These funds are raised each year through our Development Office and we encourage all families with financial need to seek assistance. Parents are required each year to apply for a scholarship through the Financial Assistance link on our website. Through this link, you will provide details about your family’s financial circumstances to ISM, a third-party provider,…

No. Families who are considering participating in only our tutoring program are not required to participate in parent tours and student screenings. We are happy to arrange a tour of our school, if a family is interested. Please contact our Learning Center Coordinator to discuss your student’s needs, location preference (main campus or southern Johnson County) and tutor schedule availability. Students will be prequalified for tutoring prior to schedule consideration.

Yes.

Once the parent tour and student screening are concluded, and all necessary diagnostic reports have been submitted, the Admissions Committee typically communicates input within a few business days. If the committee feels that the school could build an appropriate program for the student, parents are then encouraged to complete an application for admission.

Once the admissions team has met and screened your student, the next step is determined and communicated to the parents by the admissions representative. Invitations to complete an application will be communicated if that is the appropriate next step. Once your application is submitted, the admissions representative will inform you of the Admissions Committee's input and decision. The Admissions Committee may provide: A decision for unconditional admission of your student to the specified program.Admission of your student once additional diagnostic testing is completed.Recommendation that your student be scheduled for a 2 - 3 day shadow visit.Attendance of the summer program…

There is no preparation needed by the student for the screening, beyond being well-rested and ready to participate in the screening.
