From Manjula Ballari, parent of Meghana (Grade 5) and Rohan (Pre-K)
The following are a few reasons I like the New Horizons School:
(1) Knowledgeable teachers and good curriculum.
(2) Individualized reading home work to meet the child's skill and challenge them at their level of interest.
(3) Workshop Way of learning method, helps the child to be creative, challenged, okay to make mistakes while learning, and teaches them to ask for help when needed.
(4) Children learn emotional balance while growing.
(5) Wonderful and friendly staff who really cares the children the most.
(6) Good after-school program like study hall, outside play, and extended day-care.
(7) It gives me peace of mind at the end of the day that my kids are in a good environment.
From A. Boykins, mother of Jesse (Grade 6)
I have had my son in New Horizons since kindergarten and he is now in 6th grade. New Horizons has been a blessing for my son and myself because it's been a second home. It is important that (1) your kids love to learn and (2) your kids are being loved in their learning environment. At New Horizons, both of these things are achieved and so much more. My son Jesse is learning and has learned far more than reading, math, and writing. Jesse has learned the importance of taking a chance, he is confident and excited about learning. New Horizons is a safe place where diversity is embraced. New Horizons is the training ground for our future leaders, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and inventors. If you choose New Horizons, you will not be disappointed.
Thanks to all at New Horizons.
From Mrs. Horn,parent of Kathryn (Grade 5)
This is the first year for my daughter to study in NHS. I am very pleased to hear from her that teachers work diligently with students who need help. My daughter told me that she likes to go to school, which this is the first time that I have ever heard from her giving this comments. I first thought maybe the work was easy or teachers are easy on students. But after seeing her homework and teachers, I have changed my thought completely. Homework and school work are in-depth, teachers look after students and making sure students are well educated. I am very glad that we have chosen NHS.
From Mr. and Mrs. Rood, parents of Valerie (Grade 8)
To The Office Staff: Thank you for distributing and collecting the letters of recommendation for Valerie. With your help, she has been accepted into the Honor Arts Magnet Program at Irvington High School.
From P.S. Udayakumar, father of Ashwin (Grade 8)
I like New Horizons School because it is such a perfect fit for my son Ashwin. I want him to lead a normal life as a child, while learning about academic subjects and playing sports. While this seems next to impossible in most other schools, both public and private, I find it is an everyday, matter-of-fact, reality in New Horizons. Ashwin will complete his entire elementary and middle school education at New Horizons and I think that will provide him with a solid foundation to live a happy, productive, and contented life.
From Mrs. Stella L., mother of Eliana and Milana.
My 2 daughters Eliana (1st grade) and Milana (Pre-K) love going to their New Horizons School. They adore their teachers and are always looking forward to doing a variety of projects there. I personally like that the school is one building and the kids don't have to exit under different weather conditions to use the restrooms. The teacher-student ratios are excellent, allowing teachers to closely monitor the progress of each child. The curriculum is accelerated and includes many subjects. The school offers Spanish language starting from Pre-K, computer education, PE, arts and crafts. For extra learning, there is keyboard, guitar, and singing classes offered. There is also science fair, talent show, school picnic, and more fun events. Extended day care hours provide piece of mind and flexibility. I can't say enough about the teachers and the staff, they are all wonderful, always cheerful, loving and caring. Both of my kids learned a lot in the school and they are both looking forward to their new school year. I couldn't ask for a better school for my kids.
