I
guess if I had to summarize it, it would fall along the lines of a
strong belief in respect for self and respect for every living thing.
A belief that each person is here on this earth for a reason, and
that we have an obligation to embrace those reasons, maximize the
experience, and to do everything that we can to leave a legacy that
clearly espouses the idea of leaving the world a better place than
where we found it. 
The academic program of Horizons School offers the knowledge
and skills which will permit students to pursue education
in the future.
