New Horizons Academy (NHA) is NOW accepting new special education student applications for the 2021-2022 school year for its PK-12 school campuses in Wauseon (620 W. Leggett St.) and Holland (6201 Trust Dr.—just off of Airport Highway in Toledo). NHA is also pleased to announce that it is accepting new student applications for its new Career and Event Center and Coffee Shop (854 S.

We are very excited to be accepting applications for NEW special education students for the 2021-2022 school year for our preschool to high school classes and vocational courses through our new Career Center. If you are looking for the right special education placement, a place where your child feels like he or she fits in, consider NHA in Wauseon, Springfield Township, or through the new Career Center. Currently, NHA has students from 9 different counties and over 20 different school districts.

At NHA, kids come first. We exist for our students; our students do not exist for the school. Students don’t have to fit into the classes. The classes and programs are made to meet the individual student’s needs. Please visit us, and see if we are the right fit for your special needs student.
