Horizon Christian Schools in Tualatin, Oregon

“My children attended Horizon for 6 years and were straight A students, I believed they were getting a great education. Last year finances forced us into public school, and I was disappointed to discover my straight A students tested well below their grade level in Math and Science. Horizon has sacrificed education for athletics. My children are finally receiving the education they deserve in the Tualatin Public Schools, they have so many more opportunities for academics and athletics it has been wonderful. My children have retained their A grades and the Tualatin Teachers have worked to get them up to grade level.”

“Sending me to HCHS was the best thing my parents ever did for me. I was failing in every area of my life and found myself in a place were teachers, coaches and students work together as a team! Some students don't like to work or be part of a team....it was just what I needed.”

“We have been at Horizon for three years and used to attend another well known private school. In comparison, this school has a strong academic program, excellent values and a heart to see students succeed. The heart of the leaders is what sets this school apart from the others. We have found any personal concerns of our children were handled with great care and some teachers were able to adjust to our needs. The 2009 - 2010 school year will bring a new season of administrators of which I can say the organization will surely be blessed with. The Elementary school now has an active parent committee that has been a positive asset and a sense of community is alive. HCES has also started these family fun nights that focus on particular subjects. They have been a blast and have given hands on experiential learning. We plan to stay until 2018!”

“Horizon Christian Elementary School has exceeded our expectations in every way. Both of our children are thriving in the safe, nurturing environment that Horizon creates. The high level of academics challenges the students in a wonderful way while the teachers help to demonstrate Christ-like character traits every day. Horizon is the best investment that we can give our children. Our kids thank us constantly for the opportunity to attend HCES and say that they would never want to go to any other school. We as parents feel that in todays society of crumbling values and personal responsibility, Horizon sets the bar very high!”

“After many years of searching, this school is and was a answer to prayer. The teachers are interested in each child and their cirriculum is challenging. I have enrolled all 3 children and been so pleased. This has and been the right place.”

“There is no better place to learn. Both of my children have learned so much. It's nice to see a school that focuses on faith as much as they do on education.”

“Horizon has exceeded our expectations. Horizon is a Christian school first and foremost. Many Christian school are so hard academically not all students can make it there. Horizon fits many level of students. The sports are great and many sports are offered for such a small school.”

“I have attended this school for many years in both the middle school and elementary school. The teachers at horizon are completely oblivious to what students are actually doing; Students make fun of each other all the time, but the tecers dont catch it because they r using made up words that mean really nasty and insulting things. Many children at this school get made fun of constantly. The education and extracurricular activities are great though.”

“I am proud to say that all four of my children attended CCS (K throug 8, and now high school). The teachers and administrators care deeply about the students. This is a Christian school that lives out it's mission each and every day. The coursework is challenging so 'slackers' need not apply. If sports is important to you, then you will find lots of opportunities in this area as well. All four of my children are thriving in their personal lives, their academic pursuits (two are now in high scholl and two are in college), and their relationships with God. No school is perfect and individual students have different needs (CCS may not be a good fit). Ultimately, it is your job to choose what is best for your child. You should make an effort to evaluate CCS.”

“This school is not in any way worthy of such high ratings, to me. As a student, i'd like to add that they pile on way too much homework, that is usually irrellevant to our education, and is highly uneccessary. Most often, this consists of memorizing extensive verses and following an advanced 'sunday-school' curriculum. I wouldn't reccomend this school at all. There are some nice people there, although many are very snobbish. Many fail many classes, because of the extra bible school work they find not neccesary. I'd also like to add another insight on the academics, which are poor in my opinion. I think that public school is a better choice if you are focusing solely on academics and on social success. Please reconsider. The upper grades, especially (middle/high school @ horizon campus) are unsatisfactory by far. Many parents agree.”

“If your biggest goal is 'it's better than the local public school' this school will work...but if academics are really important, I'd take a closer, more critical look and really make sure it is right for you.”

“The school excells in academics, and has very strong Christian teachers. We have been very disappointed with the lack of discipline that seems to be very prevalent. The principal and overhead staff seem to work very hard to keep problem children enrolled at the school, to the detrement of the other children.”
