Horizon values our families!
We partner with our families to create the best learning environment for each child.

Although talent may be equally distributed, the opportunities to develop those talents are often
limited.
Horizon has developed a wide array of learning opportunities to develop our student’s unique talents.
Students in grades TK-Grade 8 learn within an Academy designed for their unique developmental needs.
High School students work with a Counselor, Highly Qualified Teachers, and a Supervising Teacher who work in union to develop a personalized plan and support student progress.
Personalized Learning
What is GTA?
Horizon recognizes that there are differences between students who are Gifted, Talented or high Achieving. We have developed a unique program designed to meet each of their unique needs.
Any student may use the Gifted Curriculum and receive the support of a highly trained Mentor.
Students who wish to be identified as Gifted, Talented or High Achieving may participate in a specialized program for formal designation as Gifted. All students may attend special events.
K-8 Gifted
Talented
Achieving
What is Montessori?
Montessori method allows student’s natural interests to drive learning.
Join a network of families who want the support of an online curriculum to help assure their student stays on track but they also want hands-on activities.
Horizon offers a full-day, onsite Montessori program in Lincoln and an On Demand program within our Independent Study Program.
All students may attend special events to support socialization.

DELAC Recruitment
Each California public school district, grades kindergarten through 12, with 21 or more English learners must form a District-level English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) or subcommittee of an existing district-wide advisory committee (PAM)
Parents or guardians of English learners not employed by the district must constitute a majority of membership (51 percent or more) of the subcommittee.
ELD Programs and Services
At Horizon Charter Schools our goal is for all students to perform at or above grade level in all subject areas. We have developed a personalized ELD Program to accelerate English language development and proficiency in grade level standards.

WHY?
Ryland SBC was contracted to:

The bottom‐line deficit per student of $1,187 equates to $1.8M of deficit spending which will erode the current fund balance within the next twelve months without significant budget balancing actions to begin in conjunction with the first interim report.
Based on this recommendation, the Montessori program cannot be sustained as configured and closure of the program is recommended.

Training: SPSA; What is the SPSA? CDE LINK In accordance with Education Code 64001, districts shall assure that schools participating in programs funded through the state's consolidated application process and any other school program they choose to include, will develop a School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). The school site council (PAC/ILT) is responsible for the development, annual review, and update of this plan. The content of the SPSA shall be aligned with goals for improving student achievement and address how funds will be used to improve academic performance (aligned to LCAP). The evaluation of the effectiveness of the instructional program will be based on an analysis of verifiable student data and annual updates will reflect the appropriate modifications to the program. |
