Our Story
Horizon International School, based in Jaco, Costa Rica, operates as a ministry in partnership with Horizon Church and HIS Pods.
Horizon Church, a non-denominational Christian congregation established in 2012, is led by Pastor Daniel Barrett. It has grown into one of the largest English-speaking churches in Costa Rica, serving the international community by spreading the message of salvation and guiding individuals to become devoted followers of Jesus.
Horizon International School (HIS) is a Costa Rican educational institution committed to offering affordable, Christ-centered education in a world where truth is increasingly challenged. As part of the U.S.-based non-profit organization HIS Pods, the school collaborates with local ministries and churches to broaden the availability of Christian education globally.
Our school serves full-time students by offering traditional academic subjects such as History, English, Spanish, Mathematics, and Science, alongside a comprehensive focus on learning about Jesus. Classes are conducted at Horizon Church in Jaco, Costa Rica.
Preparing Students
Our educational foundation built on Christian school curriculum, traditional classroom instruction, and blended online learning environments in the upper grades equips our students for life outside the classroom. A large emphasis is placed on our students developing adequate communication skills in both English and Spanish. For native Spanish speaking students, the chance to learn English opens up doors for them in career advancement. For native English speaking students, the chance to learn Spanish allows them to be integrated better with their local community. With a brand new virtual learning room, high school students have the opportunity to take college dual credit courses to get a head start on their higher education.
Open Enrollment
