Founded in 1972, the New Horizon Special. School is a private, purpose-built non-profit                       special needs day institution. The school is located in the Osu/Cantoments area of                      Accra. We provide education, vocational training, and employment opportunities                       to children and adults with Special Needs. Our students live with conditions such                        as Autism, Down’s Syndrome, Intellectual Disability, and Cerebral Palsy. To meet                          their needs, our programs target the intellectual, creative,  physical, social,                                 behavioral, and emotional needs of every student. We center our curriculum                            around Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and select Therapies so as to                                       develop each student’s potential to the full. Our Founder, Mrs. Salome Francois                         believed that every special child deserved to be celebrated, and given access                       to education, health, creativity, happiness. She would often say, ‘No Child Should                   Be Left Behind’. As a result of her Vision and Leadership we have supported and                positively impacted more than 3,000 individuals, using structured learning programs, life skills development, and vocational training.
