OVERVIEW
Global Impact Team creates a new opportunity for individuals, organizations, and families to partner with international students to accomplish their dream of studying in the United States. The International Student Program (ISP) at Horizon Christian High School traditionally has had applicants that have been able to financially cover the cost of studying at our school. However, recently we have seen an influx in applications from students from developing nations. The heart of the Horizon ISP is to have a diverse student population from multiple countries around the globe. We want students to experience Jesus, a strong education, and become future global leaders. As a result of the new opportunity we believe God is providing, Horizon ISP has created a Global Impact Team to focus on the latest influx of financial need-based applications. The Global Impact Team is eager to partner with others in achieving the goal of providing an opportunity for all interested international students to obtain an education at Horizon Christian School.

Testimonial
“God moved on our hearts to open our home to an international student last year. It was so rewarding we are hosting again for a second year in a row. Our first international student became like a son to us and a brother to our children. Not only do we know that he was touched by the love of God but in addition he impacted our family in so many positive ways. We continue to communicate with him and our son is making plans to visit him in China! Welcoming an international student as an another member of your family has many challenges but the rewards far outweigh any difficulty.” – Farner Family
