FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS “Where Children Come First” A New Beginning… Every day New Horizon School (NHS) is making education accessible to Pacific Northwest students with learning disabilities, attention deficits and other learning differences. Located in Renton, NHS serves grades 4-12 and meets student’s needs by fostering an environment of acceptance, opportunity, and achievement. Our Cornerstones: OPPORTUNITY defines one of our core beliefs. Create an environment where students can be successful and each student will achieve that level of success. Each student has the chance to try out different interests and fully experiment with different types of activities giving them ideas for their choice of career or lifelong hobbies. ACHIEVEMENT is the pride a student feels when his or her grades reflect their hard work at an appropriate level. Each student learns to see themselves as successful and capable. They begin to recognize their unique abilities to learn. |

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
New Horizon School strives to create connections between students, families, and the school so that students can maximize their learning potential. We are cognizant of racism, bias patterns, social inequalities, and oppression, and we are committed to understanding and interrupting any patterns, whether conscious or unconscious, that result in disparities in academic achievement, most notably for marginalized groups. We embrace policies, processes, and practices that uphold inclusion. Together we nurture a diverse, equitable, and inclusive school culture that values and celebrates the differences brought by our community members. Collectively we work to clarify New Horizon School’s responsibility for advancing acceptance, opportunity, and achievement for all students.
