*************MUST READ*******MUST READ**********
My four kids have attended this school and I cannot say one bad thing about any of the staff, On the contrary, this school has set the foundation for a secure future. The Principal Mrs. Thomley and VP Mrs. Leonard are two very intelligent women with unmatched integrity. Their work ethic is something you rarely see nowadays and they demand that from every teacher. If anyone’s child has had any problems at this school , that child will most likely have problems at any school they attend. I have two kids that have already graduated from USF with honors and I have to give credit where credit is due, this school set the foundation for their success. They were both accepted to UF as well but decided to attend USF to be close to home. I have a third child that graduated just graduated from High School and is now attending the United States Naval Academy which has an acceptance rate comparable only to the very top Ivy League schools in the nation. I have a fourth child that is currently attending Horizon Charter and is on her way to becoming very successful in life. As parents my wife and I have been very involved in the lives of our children and throughout the years it has been very clear that much of their success is because of Horizon Charter’s positive influence. I cannot stress enough how fortunate my wife and I are for finding this school in 2004.
Thank you Horizon Charter for all you do !!! Alex

My son attended Horizon Charter School for 6 amazing years! When he began mid-year, the staff was so welcoming, easing both of our concerns about starting a new school. I was easily able to find ways to volunteer and be a part of my sons’ education. My son quickly made new friends, whom he still sees on a regular basis. The teaching staff does an amazing job, balancing the needs of the students and following state rules. It is easy to see why they are a consistently an “A” rated school.

I truly believe it is because of Mrs. Thomley and her staff, that my son is currently excelling in high school and dual enrolled in college. He learned so much not only academically but also important life skills. He approaches challenges with school work and homework with ease because of the study skills he learned. He can easily solve problems with peers because of the problem-solving skills he was taught. As he looks for volunteer opportunities, he easily understands that the rules he must follow are there for a reason. He also knows if the reason is not apparent, it is ok to politely ask.  My son is turning into a confident, intelligent, and well-rounded young man and I truly believe that Horizon Charter School played an integral part in his development.

We came to Horizon looking for a change. We had a bad experience at another school and we were looking for a school where the teachers and staff were more in tune and cared more about their students. Upon our orientation we were already impressed with the pride presented in how they cared for not only for the school but for their students as well. We went through the briefing and was able to ask questions, not only was I loving the school already but so was my son. We were so happy when he was accepted to attend. Horizon is a small school so the staff pretty much knows each student by name. They know their moods, their abilities, their strengths and their weaknesses. We have witnessed first hand the principal and her staff in action handling a difficult situation from start to finish and I have the upmost respect for their professionalism. Ms. Thomley has been a tremendous help and support as we have deliberated over high school programs for our son next year. You can’t ask for a better school and staff. I wish we had know about Horizon years ago. My son would have been enrolled from K-8!
