About Horizons Academy
Horizons Academy is a small-group learning community designed to provide students with structure, support, and meaningful academic growth. Through a blend of strong academics, hands-on learning, and intentional enrichment, students build confidence, develop skills, and stay engaged in a connected learning environment. More than a learning pod, Horizons Academy is a place where students are known, supported, and empowered to grow with purpose.
Our Story
Everything Under the Rainbow was born from a deeply personal journey—a journey of love, perseverance, and unwavering belief in every child’s potential. As a mother who has walked the path of raising children who learn differently, I understand the challenges, triumphs, and unique beauty that comes with neurodiverse parenting. I’ve experienced firsthand the complexities of navigating multiple therapies a week, discovering how to support emotional regulation, and finding the right educational fit for children who don’t always thrive in traditional classrooms.
This journey isn’t just about education; it’s about life, love, and purpose. It’s about celebrating the small victories, nurturing curiosity, and empowering children to see their differences as strengths. It’s about creating a community where every child feels seen, heard, and valued—where they are free to learn, explore, and grow in their own unique way.
Our dedication runs deeper than academics. On March 6, 2024, we faced an unimaginable loss—the passing of my sweet grandson at just 16 months old. His life, though brief, was a testament to courage and resilience. He inspired us to build a place that honors all children, no matter how they learn, communicate, or express themselves. His memory continues to light our path, guiding our mission to serve families with empathy, compassion, and understanding.
At Everything Under the Rainbow, we believe in the power of community, connection, and holistic education. We are dedicated to creating an environment where children of all abilities can learn, grow, and thrive. Here, differences are celebrated, strengths are nurtured, and every child is given the opportunity to shine.
This isn’t just a learning pod; it’s a family. And we’re honored to welcome yours.
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 small-group, structured, and relationship-centered 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

Families Are Part of the Story
Education works best when families feel supported, connected, and included. This is more than a place for students to learn—it is a community where relationships matter and families are welcomed as partners in the journey.
An open-door culture encourages families to ask questions, seek support, and stay connected throughout the year. Whether through conversations, events, or everyday connection, the goal is to make each family feel seen, valued, and at home.
Community is a core part of the culture here. Families are supported, celebrated, and welcomed into a learning environment built on trust, connection, and shared growth.
A place where education, community, and connection come together.
Students at the Heart of the Community
Where Your Voice Matters
Students are at the center of everything here. Each child brings a unique way of learning, a unique perspective, and unique strengths—and those differences are supported through a small-group model designed for meaningful growth.
This program is a strong fit for students who benefit from structure, individualized support, and a more connected learning environment. Some students need academic reinforcement, some need confidence-building, and others need a calmer setting where they can stay engaged and thrive.
Through multisensory instruction, intentional support, and strong relationships, students build academic skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence that carries into everyday life.
Every student matters. Every voice is valued. Every step of growth is worth celebrating.
