Children and their learning are the focus at Horizon. Junior classes are engaging places to explore.

Teachers work with children to broaden their experience of the world and to foster their love of learning. In the process, literacy and numeracy skills, character and the ability to manage themselves and their learning are developed. 

Our Active Learning approach supports learners to be creative and curious, to think critically, to expand their capabilities, develop confidence, and become deeply engaged with using their growing knowledge in ways that have real life application. Children learn inside and outside, through discovery and workshops, on their own and with others. The neuroscience of learning changes everything about teaching at Horizon. 

We are passionate about providing authentic and relevant experiences that are also fun and engaging.

We are constantly inquiring after new ways to tailor learning experiences to meet the needs of each individual learner.

Our children learn the skills needed to investigate, to relate and to create! We teach them to reflect on what they are learning, how they are learning, and what might help them to make progress. They ‘own their own learning’, by developing goals and being equipped with tools to achieve their goals. We have an increasing expectation of students taking responsibility for their own learning. 

We find that children naturally love to learn and to see their progress, and teachers love to celebrate successes with them.
