Philosophy
"All children are artists," said Pablo Picasso. At Horizon Academy, we believe children can "paint" their own future. All children are unique and we value their individuality.
Through communication and collaboration, Horizon Academy encourages kids to have a curious mind, develop critical thinking, and be creative.
We want children to be confident and helpful, have a global vision, and be able to integrate what they\ve learned, so as to become lifelong learners.

By utilizing the rich resources around the campus, the community also becomes a classroom. The diverse environments both inside and outside the school inspire curiosity in observing and exploring the world, cultivating social communication skills and care for the environment.
Learner-Centered Education
The curriculum is learner-centered, encouraging children to observe, explore, think critically, discuss, collaborate, and create, helping them experience and build a strong foundation for their physical and mental development.
Seamless Transition from Kindergarten to Elementary School
Children naturally acquire English listening, speaking, reading, Chinese phonetics (Zhuyin), and Mandarin literacy, ensuring a smooth transition from kindergarten to elementary school.
Physical Activity Revitalizes the Body and Mind
Recognizing the critical period for fundamental movements in children aged 2–7, physical activities are designed around developmental milestones to improve strength, endurance, focus, emotional stability, and overall well-being.
Positive Cooperation between Parents,Teachers, and Students
Each class has 12 students and is led by a qualified kindergarten teacher who focuses on individualized development and growth. Strong communication among parents, teachers, and students is emphasized to ensure a joyful early learning experience.
