BOYS & GIRLS HAVEN

Boys & Girls Haven is a public high school that is part of the Jefferson County school district, located in Louisville, KY with about 23 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 3 teachers, Boys & Girls Haven has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Boys & Girls Haven, located on Goldsmith Lane in Louisville, Kentucky, is a long-standing non-profit organization dedicated to providing safety, shelter, and therapeutic support to youth who have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect. Unlike a traditional academic school, the organization functions as a comprehensive social service agency that focuses on the "whole child." They provide specialized residential treatment programs, foster care services, and independent living support designed to help vulnerable young people stabilize their lives and build a foundation for long-term success.

The core mission of the organization is to empower youth to reach their full potential by fostering healing and self-sufficiency. To achieve this, Boys & Girls Haven integrates clinical counseling, life-skills training, and educational advocacy into their programs. By working closely with local schools and community partners, the organization ensures that the youth in their care receive the stability and academic support necessary to overcome significant personal obstacles and transition successfully into adulthood.
