New Horizons Home School Academy℠ (NHHSA) offers both on-campus and off-campus (distance learning) schooling. We are fully accredited. Our academy features study programs for grade levels 1^st through 12^th. On-campus study highlights a small classroom environment and individually paced programs.

Off-campus home study programs are called the HomeWork Program^℠ and are created to suit a wide variety of circumstances: students who travel frequently, students who prefer home study over the public teaching systems, students who are having study or discipline-related problems in school, students who wish to go on a College Fast Track program, students who need less than 6 credits to graduate from high school.

The HomeWork Program^℠ is available to students in the El Paso community or across the United States. Enrollment is equivalent to enrollment in any accredited, private school.

For a free consultation on your student's personal needs, please contact the HomeWork Program^℠ Director at (915)856-7243 or Toll Free at (866)224-0218. See the Who We Are, Our Mission, and other About Us links off the main menu for more information about the school and its foundational principles.

 

Elementary and High School Curricula

Fully accredited elementary and high school curricula meet the standard requirements as determined by law and the Texas Education Agency (TEA), and can be modified to meet state requirements for any state in the United States. All curricula, whether for on-campus or off-campus study, address the four core subjects of English, Math, Science, and History at a student’s given grade level as well as electives such as Foreign Language, Health, Speech, Communications Skills, and Philosophy.

 

Physical Education

NHHSA’s Physical Education classes consist of a well-rounded martial arts program.  Students learn and practice the Koryukan style of martial arts as developed by Professor Sal Moralez.  The Koryukan style brings together the essential practices and characteristics of karate-do, kobudo (traditional martial arts weapons such as sword and bo staff), jujutsu, Korean, Filipino & Chinese martial arts.  Students may take the martial arts as an elective at any time.  Students who require P.E. Credits are required to take it. There is an additional tuition fee for all students taking martial arts as a part of their academic curriculum whether the classes are being taken as an elective or as a required subject.  Out-of-state students would need to make other arrangements for Physical Education, and these could include organized sports where verification of attendance is feasible.

 

RightTrack Program^℠

The RightTrack Program^℠ is created for students with focus and productivity problems, students who have been diagnosed with a Pervasive Disability Disorder such as Asperger’s or Autism, students with ADD or ADHD, and/or students who have had disciplinary problems, a disciplinary record or behavioral problems in other schools. It is exclusively available to on-campus students or HomeWork Program^℠ students who live in the El Paso area or neighboring communities. Students are recommended for this program at the discretion of the Director of the NHHSA. All students are welcome to set a new beginning in motion at NHHS Academy℠ but RightTrack students are required to participate in our martial arts program. On the RightTrack Program^℠ the academic curriculum remains standard and is augmented with a martial arts curriculum that directly addresses focus, discipline, coordination, and attitude difficulties.

Joining the Military? Get your Diploma through NHHSA

There is good news for home school graduates seeking to enlist in any branch of the Armed Services.

An amendment to Section 522 of Senate Bill 1042 requires the Secretary of Defense to create a uniform policy of recruitment to include home school graduates for all four branches of the Armed Services. The new law makes it clear that home schooled students do not have to obtain a GED (which carries the stigma of being a dropout) in order to enlist. This bill was signed into law by President Bush in January 2006.

Section 591 of Public Law 109-163, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006, requires all four branches of the Armed Forces to institute a uniform recruitment policy for home school graduates and to communicate this policy down to the recruiting officer level.

New Horizons Home School Academy helps put your credits in order so that you can earn your High School diploma quickly and enlist in one of the branches of the Armed Forces without losing any more time.  Likewise, if you have earned all of your high school credits but did not earn your diploma because you were unable to pass a standardized test, call us.  We can help.  And the process is easier than you would imagine.

 

Flexible Enrollment Options

Enrollment in New Horizons Home School Academy^℠ is on-going, and students are welcome to enroll at any time throughout the scholastic year and in the summer. On-campus enrollment is limited, so you must call for space availability.

NHHS Academy^℠ also offers a complete summer program for students who need to catch up on their credits (high school), for students who wish to enhance their academics or for students desiring to get a leg up on the next scholastic year (all grade levels).

The school honors all work a student has completed and all credits earned up until the moment of enrollment irrespective of whether or not the student transfers at the end of a semester. Mid-semester transfers with applicable credits are acceptable. Please contact one of our facilitators for answers to any of your questions.

 

Special Emphasis Programs

Although NHHS Academy^℠ offers a variety of approaches to the educational process—all depending on the individual needs of a student—our most requested programs, in addition to the RightTrack Program^℠ option covered above, are the Grad Program^℠ and FastTrack Program^℠.

The Grad Program^℠ is essentially for the high schooler lacking five (5) or less credits for graduation. It is available to students enrolled in either on-campus study or the HomeWork Program^℠. The program targets only the must-have subjects and credits that the student needs, laying out a curriculum which addresses these exclusively and that allows the student to complete the requisite study in step with her own capabilities.

The FastTrack Program^℠ is a college preparatory program that allows a student to complete high school in a minimum of two (2) and maximum of three (3) years. All high school graduation requirements remain intact but are programmed at a higher level of intensity for study, allowing the student to exceed the average quantity of monthly work completed and a faster completion for graduation. Although it is recommended for students with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.40 (90%) or for students who successfully completed Advanced Placement (AP) classes in middle school, any student can apply to be accepted into this program on a probationary basis. This program is available to both on-campus and off-campus, HomeWork Program^℠ students.
