Forms and Fees

Admission Process
New student applications are due by the beginning of February and parents will be notified of admission decisions in March. Thereafter, applications may be submitted and will be considered based on availability.

Parent Visit
Parents are encouraged to attend an Open House and/or schedule a private tour of the Horizon Prep campus with the Director of Enrollment to become familiar with the school and its programs.

Application
An application for admission to Horizon Prep can be obtained from the school website or the Admissions Office. The application must include a non-refundable application fee of $100.

Teacher Recommendation
The applicant’s current teacher must complete a recommendation form and mail it directly to the Admissions Office at Horizon Prep.

Transcript Request
Parents must sign a Transcript Request to submit to the administration of the applicant’s current school requesting an official transcript and standardized test records for the past two years.

Entrance Assessment
An entrance assessment must be taken at Horizon Prep and be proctored by a Horizon Prep staff member. There is an assessment fee of $150 due on or before the scheduled assessment date. All new students applying to Horizon Prep for grades K through eight will be given a grade-appropriate Horizon Prep assessment to confirm their readiness and to determine potential strengths and weaknesses.

Student Visit
Horizon Prep encourages each prospective student to spend the day at the school. These student visits are opportunities for students to “shadow” a Horizon Prep student on campus for a full day to become familiar with the school environment and meet other students and teachers.

Family Interview
After review of the complete application, recommendations, transcripts and assessments, the Admissions Office will contact the applicant’s parent/guardian to schedule a family interview. The applicant must be present for the family interview.

Admissions Committee
Members of the Admissions Committee carefully review each applicant’s file. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. Screening and selection are based on behavioral and academic performance at prior schools, the ability of Horizon Prep to meet the student’s needs, assessment results, lifestyle choices, and a willingness of the student’s parents to play an active role in the education process and in cooperating with the administration and faculty to promote the growth of the whole student. At Horizon Prep’s sole discretion, the school reserves the right to deny enrollment to any applicant at any stage of the admissions
process, provided that all decisions are consistent with Horizon Prep’s non-discrimination policy as described in this Handbook. All questions regarding the review process, or the outcome of application, must be addressed in writing to the Admissions Committee at Horizon Prep.

Nondiscrimination Policy
Horizon Prep admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
