The Subject Seeker
For students whose local school doesn’t offer the subjects they’re ready for—think Advanced Maths, Extension, Physics, Chemistry, Drama and more. Horizon runs these via live clinics and Toddle studios.

Living School · Horizon Distance Education
A Living School initiative
A different kind of distance education for NSW students.

Who Horizon is for
Horizon works best for young people whose lives don’t fit the standard timetable, and for families who want a progressive, accredited alternative to conventional distance education.
The Big Lap Learner
For families travelling around Australia who still want a clear RoSA or HSC pathway. Learn from the caravan, cabin or farm with flexible clinic times and recorded lessons.
The Athlete or Creative
For surfers, skaters, mountain bikers, actors, dancers and musicians. Training, auditions and comps come first—teachers help shape assessment around your season.
The Homeschool Family
For families who want to keep learning at home but use a NESA-approved roadmap. Full Stage 5 and Stage 6 programs live in Toddle, with options for teacher feedback and clinics.
What makes Horizon different
Not just online worksheets. Horizon is a human, intelligently supported learning ecosystem that connects young people, families and teachers.
One clean learning space
All courses run through Toddle, so students see units, tasks, resources and feedback in one place. Parents can view progress and upcoming tasks without chasing emails.
Ground-breaking AI support
Horizon’s AI tools—taking cues from models like alpha.school in the USA—help students plan weeks, break down big tasks, quiz themselves and track personal targets. Teachers stay firmly in the loop.
Progressive, accredited teachers
Experienced NSW-accredited teachers design the curriculum and run clinics. Our Keystone themes keep learning connected to identity, nature, life and living, civilisation, phenomena and service.

Progressive mindset
Our staff bring Living School’s philosophy to distance learning—valuing curiosity, kindness, community and real-world connection as much as grades.
Let’s design a RoSA or HSC pathway around your real life.
Share a few details and we’ll send you our Horizon information pack, example timetables and dates for upcoming online sessions. We’ll also map possible subject patterns for your young person.
This is learning that is personal, purposeful, and deeply human.
