​
​
Preschool
​
Preschool at Horizon is for students ages 3 & 4 as of September 1st. Our morning routine uses the Teaching Strategies curriculum that focuses largely on Social-Emotional learning (SEL) for this age group. Preschoolers also spend 30 minutes with their teacher for art education, 30 minutes in the gym or sport court for gross motor time with the gym teacher, and have a snack and recess with their classmates. Students who enroll in our full-day Preschool classes will also have lunch, recess, and a nap time in the afternoon.
​
​
Project Transition (Pre-K)
​
Project Transition is Horizon School's Pre-Kindergarten class for students ages 4 and 5 as of September 1st. Our Project Transition students learn from the Pre-K Teaching Strategies curriculum that continues to focus on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), but also focuses on Kindergarten readiness. Students will build skills in Language Arts, Math, and Science Inquiry. Students also spend 30 minutes with their teacher for art education, 30 minutes at the gym or sport court for Gross Motor time with the gym teacher, and have a snack, lunch, and recess times with their classmates.
​
The 2025-2026 school year begins in September. Following our start date, the Horizon school calendar is similar to the Shoreline School calendar. For those families who wish to continue enrollment through the summer months we also have a summer camp program which runs for eight weeks in June, July, and August.

Financial accessibility is a high priority at The Horizon School and financial aid, when available, is provided to families whose children, without such help, would not have the opportunity to attend. Families must complete the online form found at the School and Student Services (SSS) website and submit the documentation requested each year to demonstrate their need for financial assistance. If you have any questions about this process please contact school administration.
