Havern School provides specialized education for students with learning disabilities. In the 2009-2010 school year, the school celebrated its 44th year and achieved accreditation from the Association of Colorado Independent Schools. Fundraising events organized by Havern School Development and Parents for Havern raised over $100,000 for the general operating fund and tuition assistance. The annual report recognizes donors who support the school's mission of helping students achieve academic success.
2. 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.

We believe in a child’s ability to learn.
3. Our 44 th
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!

5. 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 Small
Chair, Board of Trustees
