About Our School

At New Horizons New Directions Preparatory Academy (NHND), we believe every child deserves an education that not only challenges them but also supports their unique needs. We know that each child is different, and we’re here to ensure that education works for them—no matter where they’re starting from. As an approved Georgia Promise Scholarship school, we are dedicated to opening doors for students across the state—especially those in rural and underserved areas—by removing the barriers of cost and location.

Through our partnership with K12 Private Academy, a leader in online learning with more than 25 years of experience, we’re excited to offer a tuition-free online private school option that combines innovation with proven success. Students in grades K–8 can enroll in NHND as their school of record while receiving personalized instruction and support from certified teachers at K12 Private Academy.

Beyond academics, students have the opportunity to participate in a range of extracurricular activities, from clubs to social groups, fostering connections with peers who share similar interests. This holistic approach to education ensures that students not only excel academically but also develop socially and emotionally. With a dedicated team of teachers, counselors, and academic coaches, each child receives the guidance and support needed to thrive, helping them grow into well-rounded individuals ready for the future.
