The Haven Academy is accredited as a private school through the Georgia Accreditation Commission. 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.
Our classes/curriculum are NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) approved for our high school athletes. We are members of GAPPS (Ga Association of Private and Parochial Schools) for additional sports, fine arts, and academic opportunities.
We do not have sporting teams. We do, however, support local organizations who do offer recreational sports, clubs, and equestrian activities.
We understand that travel team sport athletes miss on campus classes sometimes, and we can make accommodations for this.
Our classes/curriculum are NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) approved for our high school athletes. We are members of GAPPS (Ga Association of Private and Parochial Schools) for additional sports, fine arts, and academic opportunities. Students from our school participating in sports outside of our school have gone on to play at schools such as West Point and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
We offer clubs for middle and high school students to participate in at school. These vary based on student interest each year. They meet during student's 1 hour lunch period on designated days.
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 as well as honors classes. Students who are very advanced and want to graduate early will appreciate our assistance in this 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. Our school offers academic programming for students who are at grade level, above grade level, or approximately one level below grade level. 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.
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.
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.
Please see the Registration tab or Friday Enrichment Program tab for the registration buttons at the bottom of the page.

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.
We use McGraw-Hill primarily, but we also use some Pearson and Prentice Hall curriculums. We look at our curriculum each summer to determine if it is still the best one for meeting the needs of our students. Teachers also use reputable outside resources to make classes more engaging and fun.
We have school dances, yearbook staff, field trips, class parties, Book Fairs, Spirit Days, charity drives, musical theater, and we rotate our special elective courses. The Friday Enrichment Program has many extra fun classes each semester for students.
Hybrid students attend in-person classes 2 days a week for instruction from their teachers. They are assigned work to do at home the rest of the week. Families sign the Intent to Homeschool since they are responsible for the at-home learning days.
Full time students attend in-person classes 4 days a week of their work at school with help from their instructors. Students are assigned work to complete at home on Fridays. We do not regularly assign additional homework for students to complete after school, unless they are in classes of rigor such as Advanced Placement classes.
Many of our hybrid and full-time students attend school on Fridays. We have small group learning labs and tutoring for our 6th -12th grade students at no additional cost to families. We also have the Friday Enrichment Program that offers many fun classes for elementary and middle school students. More information is available on the Friday Enrichment Program page of this website.
Yes!
We have a large grass area that is fenced in for elementary students as well as chairs and picnic tables. We also have a separate area for middle and high school students outside. We have many outdoor games and toys for students including balls, jump ropes, giant jenga, giant connect four, cornhole, etc. The middle and high school side also have nine square, basketball, tetherball, and pickleball set up for student use each day at lunch. They also have picnic tables and chairs for socializing.
Middle and high school students can choose to stay inside or go outside for their hour long lunch period and most choose to be outside. They LOVE the games!
The only online courses we offer are for high school students during the summer term. Our full-time in-person students are able to take independent study courses on campus as well. We went online for COVID and kept the option for 2 years post COVID, but we are back to in-person learning at our school. We find that generally speaking, our students do better by coming to school for active, hands-on learning within our happy and productive environment.
We currently do not offer before or after care. We have families from Cherokee, Forsyth, Fulton, Cobb, and Pickens Counties. We have a way for parents to sign up to help or get help from other families at our school for transportation and care.
