I was really impressed with the teachers at New Horizons, and the flexibility they gave me to work at my own pace. The teachers constantly gave me confidence in myself and gave me the skills to be successful. When I began this program, I was at a Grade 6 level. I have now successfully completed my GED. I would highly recommend New Horizons to anyone who is struggling in school. It worked for me!
