Our courses are designed to meet the traditional expectations of specific knowledge, skills and competencies required to succeed in life. We believe that each and every student should have the opportunity for further, post-secondary education should they desire it. Our programs are designed to be college preparatory. Honors courses cover the same material as the standard courses do, however, the textbooks chosen are more difficult and go into greater depth.  Curriculum for each course may vary, depending upon the individual needs and abilities of each student. All curricula are chosen and courses are designed to fulfill the basic essential elements outlined by the various states of the United States of America. Instruction in the essential elements may be modified to meet the specific needs of students with identified needs.</font></p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"> </p> <p ALIGN="center"><a name="Haven Textbooks"><font face="Arial" size="4">Haven Textbooks</font></a></p> <hr> <font SIZE="2"><p align="center"></font><img src="_borders/textbooks.jpg" alt="textbooks.jpg (69881 bytes)" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="343"></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">Haven Learning Center purchases its textbooks from many sources. <strong>Saxon, Jamestown, Merrill, Steck-Vaughn</strong> and <strong>Scott Forseman</strong> are just a few of  the excellent publishers whose textbooks we use. We feel that it is very important that our textbooks are written by the top names in education and are easily recognized by all school officials. This helps to ensure that the curriculum guidelines for each subject area in each state are met. By using recognized curricula, students experience a smoother transition from traditional schooling to home schooling, and back, if needed.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">The staff of  Haven Learning Center are continually researching new textbooks to add to our selection, in order to provide you with the most complete range of curricula to meet a variety of educational needs, styles and budgets. Haven also publishes a variety of textbook study guides designed to assist the home schooler.</font></p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">We encourage the use of instructional activities such as science experiments, field trips and visits to museums or historical sites as often as can be reasonably expected for the family.</font></p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">While we encourage religious and/or moral instruction in the home, we do not discriminate due to race, color or beliefs. Our curriculum is non-secular and may be used by all. Parents who wish to include religious instruction within their program are encouraged to do so. Students may also receive credits for extra-curricular activities. Arrangements must be made with each students assigned counselor.</font></p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">Each course ordered is given a suggested completion date and a course expiration date. The counselor gives the suggested completion date when the weekly pacing guides are prepared. This is the date that Haven recommends as most advantageous for the student to complete the course. The course expiration date is set for nine months after the start date for each course. Students who turn in work for grading after a course has expired will incur a $20.00 reactivation fee. This reactivation fee will allow students two more months to complete their work. After this point, students must reorder the course at full price. Students may file for a two-month extension at no cost if extenuating circumstances exist.</font></p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">High school credits are awarded for each high school course successfully completed. A grade of 70% or higher is required to pass a course. Successful completion of a one-semester course shall earn the award of ½ unit of credit. A one-semester course generally covers ½ of the material covered in a standard school year.</font></p> <p ALIGN="center"><font face="Arial" size="3"><a href="curricula.htm#High School Grading Scale" onmouseover="window.status='View a Chart of Haven Correspondence School grading scale';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">View a Chart of Haven's Correspondence School grading scale.</a></font></p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">Science courses are laboratory oriented, to as much as can be expected within the resources and abilities of the family.</font></p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">Graduates of each high school are awarded the same type of diploma.
