6th - 8th Grades


The 6th through 8th grade years are significant times of growth and transition for students physically, emotionally, spiritually, and academically. Throughout these developmental years of rapid changes, peer pressure, and increasingly challenging school work, we strive to create a nurturing, Christ-centered school environment where it is safe for students to grow and learn. 

Our classes build a foundation for future coursework and exposes students to new subjects they may wish to pursue in high school. Our curriculum utilizes project based learning and includes: 

Recognizing our students as the future’s innovators, educators, leaders, and learners, our middle school focuses on fostering their development. Every spring, we host the STEAM Genius Mini Maker Science Fair. Our students spend weeks designing inventive showcases that highlight their creativity and ingenuity. This interactive science and art fair allows the community to explore these impressive creations.

The safety and security of our students and staff are a high priority. We ensure a secure learning environment through a multi-layered approach including:

• Armed Security Guard: Provides a vigilant presence throughout the school day.
• State-of-the-Art Security System: Comprehensive real-time surveillance of the entire campus.
• Controlled Access: The campus is fully fenced with gated entry during school hours to restrict access.
• "HAWKeyes" Program: Dedicated trained volunteers patrol the campus.

This comprehensive approach ensures a safe and supportive environment where students can concentrate on their academic and spiritual growth.

Testimonials

“We love the Biblical/Christ-centered world view the boys are getting their education from.  They are learning absolute truth, an acknowledgment that God has uniquely created them with ‘smarts’, gifts and talents, and that our knowledge and abilities are to give away to those around us and around the world.  The small school setting of Horizon provides an environment where amazing teachers and staff know each child individually and give them opportunities to grow in who they are designed to be.  Our boys have literally had life-changing experiences that will, without doubt, alter their lives in a very positive way.  We are grateful to be a part of HCS.”
