I was a student at this school for 8 years and I had a great experience. Our school takes really good care of academics and
we occasionally have fun on the side. It offers a wide range of courses which helped me a lot when applying to universities. The environment there is very healthy as I don't remember a single time I, or another student, was bullied or picked on. There is a wide range of different students and teachers from different nationalities which I really liked. Although it was hit hard by the pandemic, our school recovered quite well after it. Even during online years, it wasn't that bad of an experience. For a brief time, I left the school and noticed the great difference, and quickly returned. That was the case with many students around me including people from my class. I just graduated last week and I would recommend this school to anyone I know because I consider it my second home that I grew up in.

I have been at Horizon Private school American Branch (not Arabic branch) since Kg 1 and i will be graduating next year. There is a high level of education along with many fun activities every week especially after the covid pandemic. The environment at the school is very friendly and comfortable for everyone. The staff care about their students and listen to their concerns. I’ve also witnessed students leave this school and end up coming back to horizon because they noticed the difference. Im grateful I’m getting to experience my school years at this school.

Thr best thing about the school pther than the level of education, is the treatment that students get from administrators, it's like they are the kids' safety net, so strong discipline sided with parents' love is what the kids are surrounded with. Strongly recommended school
