Fostering a

positive

American

Muslim identity

We wanted to create a space for students to grow in a positive and nurturing environment that helps them embrace their identity as American Muslim.

How New Horizon began

It all started with a grassroots effort led by individuals who wanted to bring the principles and ideology of the Islamic Center of Southern California to Orange County in 1998. Since opening its doors in 2001, New Horizon continues to look ahead to the needs of the community and pushes the school’s mission and vision in the right direction.

Mission & Vision

OUR MISSION

New Horizon offers exemplary academics and community programs in a progressive Islamic environment and fosters a positive American Muslim identity by preparing students with the knowledge to succeed, confidence to lead, and compassion to serve in an ever-changing world.

OUR VISION

New Horizon will be recognized nationally as the model independent Islamic school integrating Quranic principles with cutting-edge technology and creativity to make meaningful contributions to the broader community.
