Horizons: price, grades, and fit

Horizons is a Christian workbook curriculum sold by Alpha Omega Publications. This listing is the print line on the Horizons collection, not the Monarch online subscription already in this directory. The collection page that loaded on October 26, 2026 shows Preschool for 3s as a complete grade set at $120.00, a preschool curriculum set at $180.00, a preschool multimedia set at $276.00, and a preschool curriculum and multimedia set at $396.00. The kindergarten complete grade set is $375.25. Complete grade sets for grades 1, 2, and 3 are $424.50 each. Math box sets are $120.00 for kindergarten and for grades 1 through 6. Pre-algebra is labeled grade 7 and is $120.00. Algebra I is labeled grade 8 and is $120.00. Spelling and vocab box sets are $72.00 for grade 1, $72.00 for grade 2, and $60.00 for grade 3. The starting figure is $60, that grade 3 spelling and vocab box, because it is the lowest price on the cards that loaded. It is one subject. A kindergarten complete set is $375.25, and a grades 1–3 complete set is $424.50. The matcher uses pre-K through grade 8, covering preschool for 3s through the Algebra I card. A complete grade set for grades 4 through 8 was not on the cards that loaded, so those years are represented here by the math, pre-algebra, and algebra boxes. Accreditation is n/a. This is a curriculum, not a school. The page header is AOP Christian Homeschooling, and the phone on it is 800 622 3070. A parent teaches the workbooks. Our involvement estimate is high. Price the grade set you would buy, not the spelling box, if you want a full year of subjects.

Where this listing sits

Horizons is filed under curricula (print & mixed). People also search Horizons, Horizons curriculum, AOP Horizons. The directory name and the URL stay stable so an old link still lands here. CurriculumQuiz does not invent its own star score, run a parent poll, or sell a review. Third-party ratings quoted below stay in that section. Numeric ratings are combined into the independent average that orders program lists. That average is not a fact in the list above, and it is not a CurriculumQuiz score.

Grades

Horizons is listed for The collection shows Preschool for 3s, preschool sets, kindergarten, and grades 1–8. Algebra I is labeled grade 8. A complete grade set past grade 3 was not in the cards that loaded.. In the quiz, that span is treated as grades Pre-K through grade 8. A program can still place a child by skill rather than age. Use the provider’s placement test when one exists, and do not force a level because of last year’s grade.

Accreditation and faith

Accreditation is recorded as “n/a.” This listing is not marked as an accredited school. Many families use curricula that are not schools and keep their own records. That is a legal and practical question for your state and for any school you might transfer back to, not a quality score. See what accreditation does and does not mean.

Faith stance recorded from how the provider describes the program: Christian. That is a description, not a rating. A Christian tag does not tell you how doctrine is handled. A secular tag means we did not record a religious claim. Catholic is more specific than Christian, and the quiz treats them differently when you ask for Catholic materials.

How the day is shaped

Traditional

Traditional programs feel closest to a conventional school day: a text or workbook, practice, and tests. For Horizons, the tag is a filing label from the official description, not a review of how your child will feel on a Thursday.

Workbook

Workbook lessons move page by page. The student writes in the book, and someone checks it. For Horizons, the tag is a filing label from the official description, not a review of how your child will feel on a Thursday.

Parent-directed delivery means a parent sets the pace and is usually in the lesson. Parent time is our estimate: high. A parent teaches, reads aloud, or guides the conversation most days. We estimate that from the program type (parent-directed books, living books, or mastery lessons), not from a stopwatch. If that is the part of homeschooling you want, this shape can fit. If you need the program to run while you work a shift, look at listings with a low estimate and then read their delivery tags.

Who it may suit

• You want materials the publisher presents as Christian.
• You want to teach, read aloud, or sit in the lesson.

Who may want a different listing

• You cannot be the teacher on a normal week.
• You need an accredited diploma and this listing does not record one.
• You want strictly secular materials.

These notes come from the type, the style tags, and the faith and accreditation fields. They are not a quality review. A program can be a poor fit for your week and still be well made.

What the official site itself describes

Recorded from the official site on October 26, 2026: This is the Horizons print line on aop.com. Monarch, the online product, is a separate listing under Alpha Omega Publications. The collection header says AOP Christian Homeschooling and shows the phone +1 800 622 3070. The $60 spelling box is the lowest labeled price in the cards that loaded. It is not a complete grade set. Kindergarten’s complete grade set is $375.25. This sentence is a quotation of what we could verify. It is not a full catalog, and it is not a recommendation.

Questions to ask before you pay

• Does the price you were quoted include every subject, shipping, and a second child, or only the example on this page?
• Is there a placement test, and what happens if your child lands in a different level than their age?
• Who keeps grades and transcripts, you or Horizons? That answer matters for your state’s official rules.
• What is the refund or trial window, in the provider’s own words?
• On a normal Tuesday, how many minutes is a parent in the lesson?

What we are willing to leave blank

The core fields for this listing were present on the official pages we checked. Prices and policies still change. The check date is October 26, 2026, not a lifetime warranty.

How to use this page with the quiz

The curriculum quiz ranks Horizons against the other 127 listings using your grade, style, time, budget, faith, accreditation need, and pace. Your state adds a link when we have an official source. It does not change the score. You can also put this program next to others in the compare tool. Families often look at Abeka Homeschool, All About Learning Press, Alpha Omega Publications in the same category. For the wider decision, read how to choose and the cost guide.
