Horizon Private School

Horizon follows a US curriculum from Pre-KG to Grade 12, built on the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards, together with UAE Ministry of Education requirements for Arabic, Islamic studies and social studies. Students can take Advanced Placement courses to earn university-level credit, and graduate with an American high school diploma.

Early Childhood covers Pre-KG to Grade 2, Elementary covers Grades 3 to 5, and Secondary runs from Grade 6 to Grade 12, including middle school and an American high school programme with Advanced Placement options.

Horizon's promise is that every child is known, valued and prepared. The school brings together academic rigour, strong character and a sense of belonging, and places importance on curiosity, creativity, collaboration between students, teachers and families, and responsibility.

The campus in Khalifa City A has science laboratories that support a hands-on, lab-first approach, a library, an outdoor football field, an indoor basketball gym, a swimming pool and dedicated PE rooms used by the school's Aquatics and Athletics programme.

Bus transportation is available for an annual fee per child. The school runs a career and university guidance service from the secondary years, offers support for scholarship applications, and sells uniforms through its official supplier.

Life beyond the classroom is structured around five signature programmes: Aquatics and Athletics, French Language, Robotics and AI, Performing Arts and Global Citizenship. Students can also join Model United Nations, where they build research, debate and public-speaking skills, as well as a range of other after-school activities and sports teams.
