1. At Horizon we believe every student has the capability to learn English.

No matter your previous education experience, or English experience you have the ability to speak English. The three important factors for successful language learning are:

Study Method - By following our own GEEK^TM Study Method students methodically aquire language skills and the ability to use those skills. The GEEK^TM Study Method supports learners at any English level, and guarantees that students achieve significant progress.

Support - A strong support system is necessary to support you in your learning, as well as hold you accountable for your own goals. At Horizon every student has a personal tutor to help direct their personalized study plan, and with the entire Horizon community beside you, you will never face any learning challenge alone.
        
Environment - A strong English environment that immerses you in English is one of the best ways to improve your language skills. At Horizon you will find our "English Only Zones" so you can with an English speaking staff, you will be surrounded by English, and naturally and easily improve your skills.

2. If students enjoy their learning, they will be better learners.

If you like coming to school, you will come to school more often, if you come to school more often, you will learn easier and faster. This is common sense.

We know the key to your success is the level of enjoyment you receive while learning. Other training centers force students to complete long computer training assignments before they can book class. Students quickly lose interest and give up. We don't make computer study mandatory, students can attend classes whenever they like. Our teaching style is energetic and passionate. Laughter is a sound that fills our school every night. We arrange parties, activities, and dinners so our students can practice their English outside of the school. Our movie theater, coffe bar, and pool table are open all day every day, giving you plenty of chance to relax and enjoy your English practice. If you love the experience, you will continue on your journey! If you continue on your journey, you will at last reach your destination - your goal of higher English.
 

3. The biggest obstacle to language learning is a fear of mistakes and self doubt.

The biggest challenge students face to learning English is their own fear.

At Horizon we give you all the tools necessary to improve your English. The final tool you will need is the confidence to have a try, and as a part of our close Horizon family, you will be surrounded by warmth and friendship and will be able to relax enough to develop the confidence to speak. Our teachers and tutors become your coaches, and your classmates become good friends. Within a short period of time, you begin to feel at home here, and that comfort is a key ingredient to our students' success.

Our teachers are trained in an American teaching style that emphasizes student's abilities, rather than concentrating on their mistakes. Teachers correct mistakes through positively reinforcing the correction, rather than emphasizing the mistake itself. This allows students to immediately gain confidence and let go of their fear of speaking incorrectly. Without the fear holding them back our students take off to new heights.
