Wauseon’s New Horizon’s Academy has been chartered by the state

Five years after its inception, and after a jump from just two students to 100, Wauseon’s New Horizon’s Academy has been chartered by the state. New Horizons — which takes a holistic approach to special-needs education — was founded in 2012 by Sara’s Garden, a non-profit organization specializing in hyperbaric oxygen therapy, autism intervention, conductive education and sensory integration. A chartered nonpublic school is a private school that holds a valid charter issued by the state board of education and maintains compliance with the Operating Standards for Ohio’s Schools. New Horizons received its letter of approval from the state Feb. 7, after a January site visit.
