Educational Plan
Standards-Based Goals
Intervention services provided by New Horizons Academy to Autism and Jon Peterson Special Needs scholarship students will meet standards and goals set forth on the IEP by accomplishing the following:
- Collaboration and teamwork to deliver flexible options and individualized learning experiences/programs to achieve high levels of success.
- A safe, nurturing, accepting and supportive learning environment
- Integrated and embedded therapy services (ABA, CE, OT and Speech/Language) to ensure maximum potential and generalization of newly learned skills.
- The school places a strong emphasis on staff training and development. Research-based training, with measurable outcomes, is used to equip staff in fulfilling the school’s mission of developing the full potential of our students.
- Multifaceted approach for each student
- NHA offers a high level of support and individualized teaching, utilizing a 1:2 staff-to-student ratio.
New Horizons Academy will communicate progress to parents and staff of a student’s home district via detailed progress reports at regular points throughout the academic year. Additionally, New Horizons staff will maintain daily records of student work toward IEP goals; these data and observations will be shared with staff of a student’s home district on a monthly basis.
