About Us !
Since 1983 Wider Horizons School has evolved into a college preparatory academic program that believes character development is the basis of a quality education. Self-discipline, responsible actions and respect for self and others are the building blocks of character.
The professional staff at WHS is comprised of dedicated, caring people. They facilitate student’s independent learning, build self-competence, and the willingness to take responsibility for personal choices. All teachers have at least four-year degrees and those working in the Montessori levels have Montessori training. WHS has a low student-teacher ratio that encourages individualized learning. Students
are encouraged to work at their optimal level and master the material. Every student’s program is individualized allowing them to work years ahead of their chronological age or to catch up on areas they are lacking.
