The information below has been compiled from the school's official website and trusted independent sources.

School Overview
The Haven is a nonprofit online school designed specifically for neurodivergent learners aged 12 to 17. Created by the Autistic Girls Network, the school provides a trauma-informed and neuro-affirming learning environment for female students who may struggle within traditional education settings.
The school focuses on flexible online education delivered through short live lessons in core subjects including English, Maths, and STEAM. Lessons are intentionally designed to reduce overwhelm and support emotional regulation, helping students rebuild confidence and reconnect with learning in a calmer environment.
The Haven places a strong emphasis on wellbeing, co-regulation, and personalised education pathways. Students learn within small groups and also gain access to a moderated online community where they can build friendships and social confidence with like-minded peers.
The school is particularly suited to autistic learners, students with ADHD, anxiety, sensory differences, emotionally-based school avoidance, or young people recovering from difficult experiences in mainstream education.
