Horizon Christian School (HCS) is a non-denominational, Biblically based Christian School that strives for academic excellence. Our Christ-centered education helps students build and defend a Christian worldview and develops an attitude of lifetime service to Jesus Christ. It is the work of Horizon Christian School to provide an educational framework which equips our students to acquire the skills necessary to pursue God’s calling in their lives.

 

Who Should Apply

Admissions criteria have been established for those students considering applying to Horizon Christian School. These criteria are based on the desire of the school to have students who are teachable and desire to use the gifts and skills God has given them for His glory. We want to train and equip our students to go into the world and make a difference for eternity. Please review the Admissions Criteria as you consider Horizon Christian School for your student.

 

 

Admissions Criteria 

The following criteria have been set forth as a guide for students considering application to Horizon Christian School.

Parents/guardians must agree to abide by the policies and guidelines as set forth in the Student Handbook.

Parents are expected to understand that the teaching at Horizon is from a Biblical perspective, and are expected to demonstrate a willingness to support this teaching.

  • The student has a sufficiently positive record of academic, behavioral, and emotional preparedness to facilitate success at Horizon.  

  • The parents/guardians understand that they are responsible for all financial obligations for the student. 

  • The student has met the academic assessment requirements of the School.

Based on these criteria, the administration is given authority to admit qualified students and families.

 Although we make every effort to discern which students Horizon Christian School can best minister to,

we will not discriminate in our admissions practices on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origins, or gender.

 We reserve the right to change the application process and criteria and any associated fees at any time.

 

If you believe your son or daughter meets the admissions criteria, we are pleased to extend to you the opportunity to submit an application to Horizon Christian School.
