I am a mom to two school-aged girls who both attended New Horizon Academy from infancy to their pre-kindergarten graduation. In my free time, I love to try new restaurants and live music venues. Spending time in nature is super important to me and I feel lucky to live in such a beautiful state.

I highly recommend the New Horizon Academy in Highland Park! My son attended for five years and in each of those years, we watched him learn, play, laugh, and build lifelong friendships. The center director and teachers felt like an extension of our family. I have a unique appreciation for the educational skills my son acquired at New Horizon Academy, as I am a kindergarten teacher myself. When my son graduated High Five, he had incredible literacy skills that allowed him to enter kindergarten ready and willing to read. We love the St. Paul Highland Park NHA!
I can tell that the Highland Park teachers and staff are very invested in my children’s success.
New Horizon Academy Highland Park is a safe, fun, and amazing learning environment for our son.
My kids and I were welcomed with open arms at New Horizon Academy. My oldest son instantly fell in love with his teachers. Coming to this location, he was very behind in his speech, and now he won’t stop talking! I love the center directors and teachers. Its a very family-oriented center.
