Mission and Vision

The New Horizon School Westside mission is to promote academic excellence and foster creativity, critical thinking and mindfulness built on Islamic values.  

We nurture a well-rounded American Muslim identity, with integrity and purpose beyond ourselves to shape young leaders strongly committed to diversity in a global community. 

Our children are the ones who will bring about change in the world and inspire us to strive for the greater good.  That is what New Horizon School Westside is all about.  With Islamic values as our foundation and rigorous academics as a catalyst to growth, our dedicated teachers empower students every day to think critically, communicate effectively, and solve problems creatively.  When we nurture our children’s positive American Muslim identity, they not only flourish in middle school, but they also confidently carry the torch that will lead our community and our country to great heights. 

 

Diversity Equity Inclusion

In the endless quest for excellence, we give our best to everything we do.

Unity and diversity

True unity exists when values and ideas are shared and respected. We look to the unifying force of our beliefs as a source of energy to brighten the future of our school. We operate in a climate of openness and trust, freely granting others the same respect, cooperation, and decency we seek for ourselves.

Progressive thinking and innovation

The school endures and prospers by moving forward and embracing positive changes that are in line with our value system. We encourage progress, shape it to our purpose, and act as its agents.

Continuous improvement

We are on a perpetual journey for self-improvement at NHSW. We welcome constructive input from our families, staff and community members to further advance our mission.

School improvement is people improvement

We are committed to the continued growth of our constituents, and we endeavor to meet the evolving needs of our staff and students. We encourage staff development to stay informed of the latest educational advancements.
