At Horizon School, we believe that exceptional education begins with exceptional people.

Our teachers and staff are selected for their love for children and young people, their passion for teaching and learning, and their commitment to creating an environment where learners can connect with God and discover their full potential.

 

Join our Community

A place where every member of our school family is valued and supported.

Working at Horizon means becoming part of something special — a community of learners that includes adults, children, and young people. We value openness to new learning, collaborative inquiry, and supporting each other's growth. Located in the beautiful coastal community of Snells Beach with views of the Mahurangi River, our school provides not just a workplace, but a calling to make a genuine difference in young lives.

Our mission and values

Fostering lifelong growth through loving life, living faith, and looking forward.

As part of the KingsWay Trust, we create a nurturing environment where every member of our school community feels valued and supported. Our mission is to "Foster Lifelong Growth in Learners who will demonstrate a Loving Life and a Living Faith, and who are Looking Forward." This mission guides everything we do, from our daily interactions to our long-term vision for student growth and community building.

 
Due to our size and high quality staff, we know our students well and can support and develop each child as the unique individual they are.
