Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide enjoyable, quality training for increased productivity and personal enrichment.

Training Philosophy

We recognize the specific needs of adults in a learning environment and strive to meet those needs. Adult students need to feel comfortable and confident about their ability to learn new skills. We create a learning climate that makes our students' experience at New Horizons productive, lasting and enjoyable. New Horizons training philosophy includes:

Relevancy

Adult learners are more goal-oriented, and relevancy to work-related tasks is imperative. By using examples from the realm of work experience, students are not only shown how to do something, but why they would do it.

Security

Our classes are conducted in a warm and friendly atmosphere, and our Instructors take into account any special needs a student may have. Instructors maintain a positive learning environment.

A Feeling of Belonging

Each class member is treated as we would like to be treated ourselves as a professional colleague and valuable member of the classroom team. Instructors encourage interaction among students, the sharing of information and problem solving.

Autonomy

Responsibility for topics covered in a class is shared with class participants. By establishing common expectations and learning objectives, students involve themselves in the training process.
