Academics

Academics at New Horizons for Charter School for Learning are designed to engage "at-risk" students in a new way, while fostering each student's educational growth. The school, which was designed to reflect the progressive values of the Shorewood community, cultivates life-learning and instills integrity, responsibility and citizenship. 

The school's model consists of five interdependent components, and while the school abandons the traditional teacher-centered narrative approach in favor of a conference setting that engages all group members, students must still meet the state's graduation requirements. The school's standards are also tied to the state's common core state standards.
