UPDATE:
    FINALLY!
We have just signed a contract for some land - the corner of Southwick and Brownswood. We are excited to begin the construction process and hopefully any future setbacks will be small! We will be reaching out to the Fenwick Hills community throughout October. We want to assure everyone that we will be good neighbors and environmental stewards, as well as offer benefits to the community. We appreciate any supporters willing to "get the word out" throughout the neighborhoods. We hope to officially dedicate the property by November and look forward to sending out official notices for the 2009-2010 school year. We will contact you soon with a more detailed update and committe formation.

Horizon Middle Academy is a public charter middle school set to be developed on Johns Island for August 2008. The school is sponsored by the South Carolina State Charter School District and not CCSD. Therefore, the school will not receive any local funding used by CCSD schools. The school will use innovative and proven instructional methods found in the best public and private schools in the country. The development of this school offers parents a true choice for grades 6, 7, and 8.  

The school will offer a more individualized and holistic approach to education. We believe in educating the whole child and fostering a positive sense of self while providing a challenging curriculum based on individual needs and interests. There will be a strong emphasis on project-based learning, technology, the arts, environmental stewardship, and community service.

The facility will be built off Brownswood Road near River Rd. The school hours will be 7:45 -4:00. The student population will be limited to 350 students. The school will serve students on Johns Island and students residing in Charleston County. Applications are now being accepted - April 28th deadline or until capacity. 
WHAT IS ON YOUR HORIZON?
