Welcome! HAVEN is an intentional, vibrant community of parents coming together for the purpose of creating educational opportunities, fun events and lifelong memories for our children and teens. Currently we have two whole family campuses and one teen program: HAVEN HIGH.
HAVEN HIGH will be hosted on Wednesdays, October to May, at our Topsham location. This program is geared towards responsible teens 13+. (This age is FIRM.) We have a lineup of fabulous teachers (that's right you get a break!) to facilitate hands-on, experiential learning in an engaging environment. We are committed, as always, to making this one-day-a-week program affordable, relatable and accessible for our families.
You DO NOT need to be a current HAVEN member attending one of our campuses to enroll your teen in this program. You DO need to submit an application by August 25th and interview, before your application is approved. Once those steps are accomplished and you have paid the $50 deposit, your teen(s) will be officially enrolled. Enrollment ends on September 1st.
Please read all points below to gain insight into the program. If you have further questions: [email protected]
You MUST fill one application out PER student, even if you are hoping to enroll multiple teens. This is ONLY to join the waitlist. Thank you.

I understand that HAVEN is committed to making this an affordable and accessible program for all families.
We offer two payment tiers:
Tier 1: annual fee of $500 and parent must volunteer to be present as a teacher's assistant 1x every 4-6 weeks
Tier 2: annual fee of $860 for a full drop-off (no parent volunteering)
These costs are in addition to the $50 deposit. This program is an 8 month, October to May, teen only program. We can not offer sibling discounts at this time. We do offer a 4-month payment plan where the cost of the program is divided between September, October, November and December. First monthly payment would be due in September. (If you would like to start paying in the summer, we can bill you starting in June which would make for smaller monthly payments.)
**There will be supplies or notebooks/pens your teen will need to bring on the first day. Some classes might have fees (art supplies are $50) or some classes might require purchasing books. (1 required) |

HAVEN HIGH is structured like a drop-off program but there will be parents on the premises at all times to support the teachers. We ask each family that chooses Tier 1 to participate at least once every 5-6 weeks. We will present an annual calendar before the program's start date with one-two parent volunteers scheduled per week. Again, this is a once a month committment to keep costs down and ensure safety and support for all. (1 required) |

I understand that once my application is reviewed, I and my teen will be contacted for an interview the summer before the next fall start. Upon interview completion, HAVEN leadership will assess all applicants and contact me to let me know if my teen has been accepted into the program.
Applications close August 25th. Enrollment ends September 1st. We do not accept rolling enrollment throughout the year.
Do NOT pay the $50 deposit until your teen has been accepted into the program. (1 required) |

Thank you for applying! If you are not currently a HAVEN family, we very much look forward to meeting you and your teen soon. Thank you for considering this much-needed program. You will be hearing from us shortly. We do offer four dances a year and fall & spring soccer. Contact Brooke to hear more about those opportunities.
In the meantime if you have any questions, contact Brooke at [email protected]
