Located 25 miles from the nearest town, Mount Horizon High School is a facility that offers a sanctuary for troubled teenagers suffering from various kinds of abuse or disorders. The focus of Higher Ground is primarily on a group of students in the school, as well as on the headmaster, teachers and counselors. As the show progresses, the viewer becomes acquainted with the stories of each individual and the events that caused their troubles.

The daily schedule of Mt. Horizon's students includes regular classes, preparing food for others, various sport activities, such as climbing, football or rafting, which are mainly focused on mutual collaboration. Through these doings, students are taught both co-operation and confidence in own actions.

At Horizon, strict rules and policies are applied. No sexual intercourse between students, no drugs or alcohol use, no violence and no inappropriate touching. Violating of these rules may lead to expulsion from school and to immediate contacting of parents or respective authority. Newcomers are told these rules during his/her entry check-up.
