HAVERN SCHOOL

We believe in a child’s ability to learn.

Mission Statement

Havern School provides a specialized education program for elementary and middle school students with diagnosed learning disabilities.

Utilizing a 4:1 student to staff ratio, master teachers, occupational therapists, and speech/language pathologists provide a comprehensive program of intervention services. Our ultimate goal is to create confident learners who will achieve success beyond Havern School.

Havern School is a nationally recognized community of professionals, parents, families, and friends working together to address the individual academic, social, and emotional needs of our students.

Our 44th school year was marked by an important milestone with the accreditation of Havern School by the Association of Colorado Independent Schools (ACIS). Realization of this long term goal was achieved through the focused work of the entire school community – administrators, faculty, parents, trustees and students! The journey through the accreditation process allowed for celebration of the school’s many strengths, including:

• A long and stable history• A strong and consistent mission and program• Highly skilled teachers and therapists• A supportive and committed parent community • Our debt free financial position

While we are proud of these fine attributes, our greatest reasons for celebration are the successful learning experiences of our students. Nothing can compare to the joy of listening as a child reads for the first time or watching as a student navigates her way up the climbing wall, overcoming personal fears and obstacles.

These joyful celebrations, big and small, are made possible by the gifts of energy, time, talent and financial resources given by many friends and benefactors of Havern School. On behalf of the students and teachers I offer a collective “thank you” for your generous support. You are appreciated!

We believe that children develop self-confidence from academic success.3

Dear Friends of Havern,

New technology is everywhere these days-our offices, our homes, and even our classrooms. But as wonderful as these tools can be, they are only an accessory to what really makes up Havern School.

At Havern School, Smart Boards may be new technology but they are also a long standing tradition. I have the honor to serve with a diverse, accomplished, and, well, Smart Board of Trustees who volunteer their time and so much more to fulfill the school’s mission. Their

leadership is invaluable in maintaining our current program and looking to the school’s future.

Even with all of the advanced technology available, a classroom still needs a teacher. And Havern School is blessed with a dedicated and talented teaching and administrative staff. This year was the culmination of a lot of hard work by this exceptional group and resulted in Havern School being accredited by the Association of Colorado Independent Schools. Quite an accomplishment!

Technology is helpful and exciting, and at times even inspiring. But it still comes down to people - special people like you - working and giving in ways great and small, to make Havern School a place of success for our students.

Thanks for your continued support,

Denise SmallChair, Board of Trustees

We believe that children with learning disabilities benefit from small group instruction...

Havern School has been educating children in the Denver metro area since 1966.

We are a full-service, independent day school for elementary and middle-school students with learning disabilities.

With a student to staff ratio of 4:1, we are able to offer individual and small-group attention to each child.

We emphasize the areas of language arts and mathematics in daily classes.

Our comprehensive program includes speech/language therapy, occupational therapy, and social skills instruction. Classes in digital/computer skills, art, music, and drama round out our curriculum.
