What is it really like to go to a
Hybrid high school?
A hybrid school is not easier than a traditional brick and mortar school, but it does have its own set of benefits that may suit you perfectly. Check out what it’s really like to be a Horton Academy student!
No More Bells
Are you ever in the middle of a
problem when the bell rings? Sometimes bells, and the rigid schedule they
represent can be a difficult obstacle to achieving your full learning
potential. Is 55 minutes of English enough time to learn the material? Is it
too much time?
Horton Academy offers you the flexibility to learn at your own pace through a mastery-based curriculum. That means you can move through a lesson quickly, or take the time you need!
Tailored due dates
Horton Academy doesn’t follow
anybody’s schedule but yours. You turn in your assignments whenever you are
done with them. Really!
You will not have to worry about falling behind schedule. This is just one way Horton Academy is different not only from your traditional school but from other online schools as well.
Alina’s Story
Alina hated high school. She excelled in English but hated math. She hated feeling humiliated in front of her peers. Alina did everything she could to avoid that feeling. When her mom, Ellen, learned that she was skipping school, she knew she had to find a better option. She found Horton Academy. A school with mastery learning and tailored chapter tests was a good fit for Alina. There were some bumps in the road, but gradually Alina started enjoying school again. She didn’t enjoy making revisions to her assignments, so she worked harder to make her assignments better for the first submission. Eventually, Alina discovered that she really is smart. She just needed a different learning environment to shine. Alina graduated early and thrived in college. She had learned to work independently and take charge of her education.Today, thousands of students have benefited from this unique learning environment, where students take charge of their education and discover exactly how they are smart.
