What is the enrollment process?

One of the most important decisions we make centers around enrollment.  We strive to make sure we have what is needed to serve each family. Our first step is to have families send us all diagnostic records including but not limited to: IEP/504, MTD reports, neuropsychological reports and pertinent medical records. This will allow us to begin to understand if we are a good fit for your student.

When is the enrollment period?

New Horizons has year-round enrollment. High School students will typically be admitted at the start of a new quarter. Lower and Middle School students may be admitted on a space-available basis.

Do you have scholarships or financial aid?

New Horizons Academy offers financial aid to a limited number of students each year that qualifies based on federal guidelines.  This financial aid is for partial tuition and is granted on a first come first serve basis.
