    Welcome to Horizon Academy’s School Counseling services! We are committed to the success and responsible citizenship of all students. Our Professional School Counselors will coordinate a comprehensive school counseling plan for all students leading to academic success, career awareness, and social/personal development, community involvement, and multicultural/global citizenship development. 

     

    We would like to invite you to come in and get to know us and the services we offer and those offered from our counseling office. You may call or walk in to make an appointment with us. You don't need to wait until you have a problem or special reason! We hope that, together, we can lay a good foundation for future success and achievement by making your child's time at Horizon Academy a happy and rewarding learning experience.

     

    Horizon Academy at Marion Oaks is a neighborhood community school which takes pride in the core values that are our building blocks to a great school. That is why our school offers many flexible times for parents to meet with teachers to discuss academic or behavioral challenges. Conferences are offered at 7:30 a.m. -- 7:50 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. - 3:10 p.m. Phone conferences can also be scheduled upon request for different times. Parents can contact the teacher through e-mail on our faculty list or contact our counseling office.
