Welcome to a place where individualized support meets big middle school opportunities. The Horizon Program at Shell Bank brings NYCPS’s premier autism-specialized programming directly to our South Brooklyn community. Here, our highly trained educators and speech therapists don't just teach the curriculum—they champion your child's self-advocacy, navigate social milestones right alongside them, and create pathways for meaningful inclusion with their peers. Explore how Horizon at Shell Bank can become the launchpad for your child's growth.

Why Horizon @ Shell Bank? 

At Shell Bank, we pride ourselves on being a small school with a big heart. Our Horizon program reflects this by creating a supportive, close-knit environment where every student is known and valued.

Our teachers are highly trained and deeply committed to their craft—they truly love the work they do. This passion translates into engaging, meaningful learning experiences tailored to support each student’s growth. While students work with grade-level curriculum, our teachers are skilled in meeting individual learning needs and adapting instruction to help every child succeed.

Students also have opportunities to collaborate with peers across the school, building relationships, confidence, and teamwork. Their talents, creativity, and hard work are evident in the strong sense of community and the pride they take in their learning.
