Horizons Community Agreements

Horizons Community Members agree to Horizons Communication Agreements. If you haven't read these before please take a look here. These agreements were developed by the Horizons Council and reflect the values of parents, teachers, administration, and students. Education at Horizons is a team effort that involves students, teachers, and parents working together to implement the school's vision. Horizons teachers and parents are expected to share the responsibility for ensuring successful learning experiences for our students. Read more about these expectations here.

Concordance? What is it?

The Concordance model of decision-making and voting is used at all Horizons meetings council, board meetings, faculty meetings.


Horizons uses a student and community-focused model of education, based on the principles of trust and honesty. Every voice matters. Success depends on the culture of the team. Listening and empathy are key.


The Concordance Voting Process:  


This is an extenuation of the idea that clearly communicating with each other in a safe space allows for everyone to have a voice in the discussion. It allows for disagreement and exploration of alternate ideas, fostering better mutual understanding and a more inclusive decision-making.

Childcare is offered at every Council Meeting. A donation of $10 is requested per child to help defray the costs of the childcare provider. 

Council Meeting Dates:
