Port Townsend School District's HAVEN is a school without walls where parents work with certificated staff and share the responsibility for the management of their children’s education. HAVEN is committed to a framework in which the home is supported by the community as a viable educational alternative. HAVEN is a non-sectarian partnership between students, parents, professional staff, and community members where families and staff work together to customize an education for their children.
