At Horizon Private School – American Branch, Elementary School is where confidence grows and potential expands.

Strong Foundations for Future Success.
Upper Elementary at Horizon is where academic ambition takes root. Students in Grades 3 through 5 take ownership of their learning, engage with increasingly complex ideas, and begin to develop the research, collaboration, and communication skills that define successful learners. Our teachers challenge every student to go further than they thought possible, and support them every step of the way.
