Does Horizon offer NCAA approved courses?

Horizon maintains an approved National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) course list. NCAA tracks eligibility for students who want to participate in Division I or Division II sports in a 4-year or community college. Students must complete an academic core program of 16 college prep (A-G) classes in high school, meet score standards for ACT or SAT college entrance examinations, and register with the NCAA eligibility center during 10th or 11th grade.

Is Horizon WASC accredited?

Yes! Attending a WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accredited school is extremely important, especially during the high school years. The credits your student earns at a WASC accredited school are transferable to traditional schools. Accredited institutions are evaluated extensively and conform to general expectations of performance and quality. Because accreditation requires continual self-evaluation, frequent reports, and periodic external review, you can rest assured that the educational quality of programs and services offered by the institution are current, reflect high standards of quality, and are offered with integrity.

Can my student take college courses while enrolled in Horizon?

Are Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses (also called ROP) available?

Yes, Horizon offers three (3) Career Technical Education (CTE) Pathways that require students to complete a defined course of study in a specified industry sector. Four 1-semester Courses (20 credits total) are required to complete a CTE Pathway, including an Introductory course, 2 Concentrator courses, and a Capstone course plus aligned participation activities. CTE courses fulfill High School Career Education credit requirements, and students will receive a “CTE Certificate” for each CTE Pathway completed. All HCS CTE courses use an online curriculum to guide the student's learning. Teachers and students have direct access to course materials, and parents can request "Observer" access to check progress and grades.

CTE courses are also available through local county CTE programs. Enrollment in these programs may be limited, but worth looking into if your high school student is interested in gaining hands-on vocational experience. Registration in county CTE programs requires approval from your student's Counselor.
