BLENDED LEARNING &
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION

Horizon Private School - American Branch is successfully implementing a Blended Learning Model that mixes paper-based instruction, hands-on activities, self-paced digital learning, ebooks, and the latest apps and educational trends.

AP COURSES

What is AP? The Advanced Placement (AP) program gives students the opportunity to tackle college-level work while still in High School. This allows them to be better prepared for college and, in some cases, earn college credits once they pass the AP exam. Run by the College Board, AP courses give students the academic skills they need in college while providing more time to concentrate on the subjects that interest them.
