Support
Horizon Christian Academy’s mission is to prepare students to be World Changers by partnering with families through Christ-centered education & community. We believe this mission includes directly focusing on the growth of our students spiritually, academically, socially, physically, and emotionally.
Since our establishment, Horizon Christian Academy has been blessed with the ability to grow not only a school, but also a generous community of loyal supporters. Each year we receive financial gifts from our Horizon Christian families, grandparents, alumni-families, and friends in the community of Horizon. Due to this ongoing generosity, we have been able to continue to strengthen and expand our impact in developing world changers for Christ.
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that Horizon Christian Academy qualifies under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as an organization created for charitable, educational, and conservation purposes so donations made to our school may be considered tax deductible.
Here are just a few ways you can support what God is doing at Horizon Christian Academy.
100% of the tuition paid at Horizon Christian covers the operational expenses of the school. Through your contributions, the Believe funds will provide critical resources to make improvements to our campus, enrich student learning experiences, and invest in areas that keep our school growing and thriving.
Businesses are invited to become a Partner in Education when they redirect their GA State Tax Liability via GaSSO to Horizon Christian Academy. This is a program available through the Georgia Qualified Education Expense Tax Credit Program. There is no additional out-of-pocket dollars to become a Partner in Education, but rather your tax liability is directed to Horizon and businesses receive dollar-for-dollar credit. To learn more about this program and/or about becoming a Partner in Education, please email us.

When Jesus invites us BEYOND EXPECTATION, He provides us with solutions BEYOND IMAGINATION, which always moves us.
BEYOND is a multiple-phase capital campaign that will allow us to build upon our incredible foundation and develop our 34 acres into a beautiful campus. This expansion will allow us to provide quality and customized educational experiences that only small schools can offer with facilities, curricula, and extracurriculars that larger schools often offer. Join us as we reach BEYOND to fulfill our mission and further His kingdom.
God has blessed Horizon Christian Academy with beautiful land in the geographic center of our county, a remarkable community of believers, and some of the most amazing teachers and staff.
Families across our county and beyond have been drawn to our exceptional education opportunities, nurturing environment, and close-knit community. The increasing demand for quality education and extracurriculars in a Christian environment has highlighted the limitations of our facilities for current and future students.
Our campus master plan seeks to remedy that.
