Horizon School

What Horizon School does

Horizon School is a private pre-university educational institution operating two campuses in Kosovo, with its primary location in Lipjan and a branch in Peja tracing its heritage to the Cambridge Gymnasium network established approximately 24-25 years ago. The school serves families across the full educational continuum from pre-primary through upper secondary education, including a specialized Natural Sciences track for senior students. Curriculum delivery is anchored by Cambridge International School accreditation obtained in July 2023, complemented by Kosovo's national MASHTI operating license (3-1214) and dual ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 21001:2018 certifications, reportedly the first such combination in the region.

The school's educational offering includes core academic subjects, foreign language instruction (English and French), ICT, and robotics, delivered through an e-school learning platform. Supporting infrastructure includes organized student transport from surrounding municipalities, a school canteen, and pedagogical staff supporting extracurricular activities. The Summer School program launched for 2025 represents an extension of the core academic year offering, monetizing facilities during off-season periods.

Horizon operates a tuition-based business model with multiple payment options and family subsidies, targeting B2C household customers rather than institutional or enterprise clients. The institution employs approximately 33 staff across both campuses and operates under MASHTI regulatory oversight alongside international accreditation frameworks. No parent company, external investors, or funding rounds are disclosed in the available data.
