WELCOME TO OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL

At Horizon Global Academy's Middle School, we provide an engaging and comprehensive educational experience designed specifically for students in grades 6-8. Our curriculum combines core academic subjects with exploratory opportunities that match the unique developmental needs of young adolescents.

Our Middle School program focuses on:

  • Project-Based Learning: We encourage hands-on experiences where students apply their knowledge to real-world situations through science experiments, historical research projects, and literary analysis.

  • Digital Literacy: Students develop essential technology skills through computer science basics, digital research, and responsible online citizenship.

  • Skills Development: We emphasize critical study skills, time management, and organizational techniques crucial for academic success.
