Who Horizons Serves Today
Horizons Academy is a hybrid homeschool program in Woodstock, GA designed for K–12 homeschool families who want strong academics, meaningful instruction, intentional grouping, and a real sense of community. Our program offers structured academics, direct instruction, personalized support, and individualized attention in learning spaces that are intentionally designed and not overcrowded.
Students are grouped thoughtfully by age, readiness, academic goals, learning needs, and classroom fit. This helps us provide the right level of challenge, adjust instruction when needed, support core academic skills, study habits, confidence, and independence, and create a relationship-based environment where students are known, encouraged, and able to grow with confidence.
Our Story
Everything Under The Rainbow was born from a deeply personal journey — a journey rooted in love, perseverance, advocacy, and the belief that every child deserves a learning environment where they can be known, challenged, and encouraged to grow.
As a mother, educator, and advocate, I understand how important it is for families to find a place where their children are not lost in the crowd. Some students need a different pace. Some need stronger relationships. Some need more structure, more confidence, or a setting where learning feels personal and meaningful. Those lived experiences helped shape the heart of this work.
Over time, that heart has grown into Horizons Academy — a structured hybrid homeschool program designed for families who want strong academics, meaningful instruction, intentional grouping, and a real sense of community.
This work is also deeply connected to family, faith, and purpose. On March 6, 2024, we experienced the unimaginable loss of my sweet grandson at just 16 months old. His life, though brief, continues to remind us of the importance of love, compassion, courage, and connection. His memory remains part of the heart behind this mission.
At Horizons Academy, we believe education should be personal, purposeful, and rooted in relationship. Students are encouraged to build confidence, strengthen skills, discover their gifts, and grow in a community where they are valued.
This is more than a program. It is a place where education, community, and purpose come together.
Letter from the Director
Everything Under The Rainbow was created from both personal experience and a deep sense of purpose.
As a parent and educator, I know how important it is to find a learning environment where a child feels supported, challenged, and truly seen. For many families, that kind of setting can be hard to find. I built EUTR to be a place where students could grow academically, socially, and personally in a setting that feels connected, supportive, and intentional.
As we continue to grow, we are also clarifying how we share our programs with families. Horizons Academy is the name of our core academic program within EUTR. It reflects the structured, relationship-centered, and intentionally designed learning experience that has always been at the heart of this work.
The name is growing with us, but the mission remains the same: to provide strong academics, meaningful support, and a learning community where students and families feel valued.
Thank you for being here and for trusting us with your children. It is a privilege to serve this community.
With gratitude,
Lisa Mitchell
Founder & Director

Families Are Part of the Story
Education works best when families feel supported, connected, and included. Horizons Academy is more than a place for students to complete schoolwork — it is a structured hybrid homeschool community where relationships, communication, and connection matter.
Families are welcomed as partners in the learning process. Through conversations, tours, events, student projects, and everyday communication, our goal at Horizons Academy is to help families feel informed, valued, and connected throughout the school year.
Students also have opportunities to build friendships, practice collaboration, and connect through shared learning experiences, hands-on projects, community activities, and everyday learning. This helps create an environment where students can grow academically, socially, and personally.
A place where education, community, friendships, and connection come together.
Students at the Heart of the Community
Where Your Voice Matters
Students are at the center of the learning experience at Horizons Academy. Each student brings unique strengths, interests, goals, and personality to the community, and our structured hybrid homeschool environment is designed to help students feel known, challenged, and connected.
This program is a strong fit for students who benefit from structure, direct instruction, personalized support, and a learning environment that is not overcrowded. Some students come ready for academic challenge and enrichment, while others are strengthening skills in reading, writing, math, organization, confidence, or study habits.
Through hands-on learning, student projects, class discussions, collaboration, and meaningful relationships, students build academic skills, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and confidence that carry into everyday life.
Every student matters. Every voice is valued. Every step of growth is worth celebrating.
