My daughter has been in this school for 2 years now and it's the best. I felt so lucky when I was looking for a school for my daughter and I found New Horizon. It's more than a school, it's an experience. My daughter will be at this school as long as she can, I only wish it went to higher grades so she could go even longer. I love the yearbooks every year and all the activities for the kids. I could go on and on but really you should go see for yourself!

My child has been here for 3 years now and she has gained so much confidence in all of her abilities. The attention the children get here is beyond anything I could have ever asked for. I would recommend this school for not only the performance aspect, but also for the academic side of it. They have done a tremendous job at keeping my busy girl on task and she has excelled in all of her learning and performing. I give them 10 stars.

My granddaughter started at New Horizon when she was in 2nd grade. She loved Ms O'Dell and now she has had wonderful experiences in third and fourth grades with Mrs Mason and Mrs Hegarty. The performing arts aspect of the school is a definite plus and the dance teacher, Mrs Huffaker has motivated her and helped her aspire to continue her talents in dance, music and drama. Her teachers are encouraging her to do better and try harder and I tell her every morning to "be kind to everyone". I think she does a pretty good job of that in this school atmosphere.

The school isn't terrible.I mean,it could be better.The teachers all seem really nice, except for one that barely did her job in the K-3rd play,which I helped in.They're upgrading the food.....I dislike the uniforms, but ig we have them for a reason.And I disagree with some rules,of course, but we have everything for a reason.The dancing and singing is great.The plays are pretty fun..... That's my review of the school.
