From test preparation to college counseling to student support post-high school, we are here to guide our students every step of the way.
Our College Prep Programming Includes:
- Individualized attention: our college counselors provide one-on-one college and career guidance customized for each student’s needs and interests.
- Routine college visits
- Annual college/career fair
- Assistance with FAFSA and scholarship applications
- Mentorship through Future Institute and CYSP programs (detailed below)
“The reason why I like this school because its a really nice school to get you prepared for college. They give you all the skills you need to be sucessful in life. Horizon is surrounded by positive people and that makes me comfortable. I like how all the teachers know your name and they will actually work with you and the really care about stuff thats going on with you outside of school.”

Future Institute
It is never too early to start thinking about your future. That’s why we encourage students to sign up for Future Institute––a program that supports 9-12th graders as they contemplate their transition to higher education, college persistence, and their career ambitions. F.I. also provides recent high school graduates with career advice, financial assistance and scholarship money, internship opportunities and much more.
Concept Young Scholars Program (CYSP)
At HSA Cincinnati, our students grow both in and out of the classroom. One of the ways we facilitate their development is through CYSP, which builds leadership, character, and college readiness skills. CYSP plans regular college visits and pairs its participants with mentors who guide them through the college application process.
