We are also fully accredited by COGNIA which is a recognized and accepted accreditation worldwide ( formerly known as SACS).  Local high schools accept our credits for transfer if ever necessary. If you are looking at schools nearby, this is an important piece of information to verify when looking at options.

Yes, we have the ability to work with students who may miss in person classes sometimes because they are in the entertainment industry. We have had students who have worked in music, film, and television. Our flexibility works well with their professional careers. 

Yes. We have the ability to move younger students up a grade level for certain classes if they would benefit from the higher-level 

 course instruction. As students get older and into high school, we offer College Board approved Advanced Placement courses (AP Courses) as well as honors classes.  Students who are very advanced and want to graduate early will appreciate our assistance in this early graduation fast-track process. We support and assist Dual Enrollment with our local colleges and universities, so students can get high school and college credit at the same time. 

 Yes, we are on the approved private school list to accept these state issued funds. Our available resources provide for us to serve students with mild needs.

Please schedule an informational call or a tour to talk about individual needs and whether we might be a good fit for your student. 

We are a GOAL scholarship approved school. You can learn more about this program on the state website at www.goalscholarship.org . We encourage everyone who pays state taxes to donate to this fund and direct them to our school, The Haven Academy, to get these funds. We can only offer what funds families designate to our school so we encourage people to participate since the funds are already owed tax funds that could be used to assist students with tuition at our school. 

We are a Georgia Promise Scholarship approved school.  You can learn  more about this program here:  Georgia Promise Scholarship – Access Achieve Succeed 

We also offer a limited number of donated and in house partial scholarship opportunities at The Haven Academy. Please inquire about these with Leanne, our tuition coordinator. Leanne@ThehavenAcademy.com

 Our curriculum is from major publishers like McGraw-Hill, Pearson, and Prentice Hall. These are popular in public and private schools across the nation.  We celebrate holidays from all over the world, BUT we also have families who prefer to not have their children celebrate any holidays, and we respect this as well. Alternative activity accommodations can be made.  We accept and love students from all backgrounds, and we greatly appreciate diversity in our school.  We do not discuss or endorse any specific political party. We do not teach toward any one faith or political viewpoint. Our goal is to focus on the academics and for all children to feel welcome, safe and happy while at school.

Students who have graduated from our school have gone on to:

West Point, Kennesaw State University, University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill, US Air Force, University of North Georgia, Colorado University- Boulder, Georgia State University, Reinhardt University, Samford University, Lyndenwood University, Piedmont College, University of Maine, Chattahoochee Technical School, MUD- Makeup Design of NYC, Paul Mitchel Cosmetology and Esthetician School, Aveda Cosmetology and Esthetician School, Coastal Carolina University, and our list is growing each year. 

As a general rule, we do not grant admission to students with previous expulsions OR those who have had a history of suspensions, write ups, and excessive warnings for behavior at other schools. Students who have behavioral struggles at home would also not be in proper placement to attend our school and we are unable to accept them. We do not have the resources or programs best suited for these students and our strict behavioral policy would not be appropriate. We only want what is best for all students and we do not have the resources that these students may need to best support them in our learning community. 

First, we require a meeting with all prospective students/parents prior to enrollment. We want to ensure we are a good fit for your child as well as them being a good fit for our school community. 

Parents can sign up for a phone call or an in person tour on the front page of our website. 

If there are any documents that should be submitted for review, such as an IEP, 504, or any other report, please email those to us at Renee@TheHavenAcademy.com 

Once our school has been determined to be the best fit for a student, the next step is to complete paperwork, send any records or requested documents and pay fees.  Enrollment can be completed online. 

Yes! 

Each summer, we offer coursework to high school students who wish to make up lost credits or for those students who wish to get ahead or graduate early. Public, private, and homeschool students are welcome. We offer online coursework and in person classes for the summer program. These can be self-paced and are flexible for work and travel schedules or students may attend for traditional education during the summer. 

We offer fun summer camps and bridge programs for elementary and middle school students as well. Academic and fun options are available. 

We are an accredited private school and hybrid program. Those that enroll with us sign a commitment for a school year. The Friday Enrichment Program does allow you to commit for a single semester. If you have a need for a semester of private school or hybrid, please contact us to see if we can accommodate you. Financial obligations signed in our contracts are legally binding, and we do not refund fees paid. We have an amazing program and want to keep it this way, so please be sure it is a great fit prior to registering.
