New Horizon Academy was ranked 38th on the large company list.
“New Horizon Academy is honored to receive the Top Workplaces award for the fifth year in a row,” said Chief Executive Officer, Chad Dunkley. “It is a testament to the company’s values of respect, integrity, excellence, innovation, leadership, and teamwork. We are proud of our teachers, and it is a privilege to provide a workplace that allows them to grow and thrive, and enjoy coming to work. Our teachers do the world’s most important work, and we are excited to continue our growth and success with our most valuable assets—our people.”
