Safe Haven School provides a psychologically and physically safe, nurturing, therapeutic environment for children who have severe emotional disturbances, learning disabilities, autism, and/or other health impairment.
We do this by fostering each childs academic, emotional, and social growth.
Safe Haven School is a therapeutic day school designed to meet
the unique needs of children and youth with internalizing
behaviors, defined as negative,
problematic behaviors directed toward the self. Children who
exhibit these behaviors often experience severe anxiety, depression
and fear, feelings that can be
exacerbated by the sights, sounds and social dynamics of a
typical school setting.Their self-harm behaviors are often the
result of physical or emotional trauma,
or symptoms of a range of underlying conditions including
bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Aspergers
syndrome and other psychosocial
disorders.With small classrooms, differentiated
instruction, and a lovingly cultivated culture of support,
community and respect, Safe Haven School offers a needed
alternative for students with internalizing behaviors. When
given the emotional resources they need in a safe, calm and
accepting environment, students are able to
develop the confidence and coping mechanisms they need to
manage their negative emotions. Safe Haven School is not a
permanent placement, but rather a
temporary environment where students can go to heal, learn, and
develop skills and strategies for coping with their emotional and
psychological challenges.
Safe Haven School's tuition is approximately $52,000 for private students.
