New Horizon School offers a unique opportunity
to bright, emotionally stable young people who are falling behind
in regular classes because their basic reading, spelling, writing
and mathematics skills are underdeveloped. Such students are often
inappropriately labeled as lazy. In reality, they may have learning
disabilities or learning differences which manifest as dyslexia,
dyscalculia, or other perceptual or language disabilities. New
Horizon School utilizes a holistic, multisensory approach to
facilitate the development of each student's unique learning
potential.
We serve
students ages ten to eighteen.The Day School offers a comprehensive
selection of studies. The emphasis is placed on language skills-oral
composition, reading, writing, and spelling. Other important areas
of curriculum are auditory and visual perception and processing,
mathematics computations and application, thinking and problem
solving, study skills, and computer skills development. Curriculum
is enhanced by participation in a variety of related educational
field trips and community based cultural events. At the culmination
of each academic year, our high school students in good standing
are invited to participate in a week-long outdoor educational experience
in Yosemite.
