Horton College was a 19th-century independent Wesleyan Methodist boys' boarding school, at Mona Vale near Ross, Tasmania, Australia.

[2] Its first headmaster was John Manton, and for many years its motto was the Latin: Nil sine magno labore (Nothing without great exertion).

This was replaced by the Latin: Perseverantia Palman Obtinebit (Perseverance will win the prize).

The school building itself was an impressive red brick structure, designed by William Archer[3] and its ruins were listed on the (now-defunct) Register of the National Estate from 1978.

The college Board of Trustees, owning the building but not the land (which was in trust from Captain Horton's estate), handed the entire property back to his nephew.
