Saint HavenChristian Academy
Our school

Known by name.
Encouraged to grow.

The little years are full of firsts. First friendships, brave questions, and the proud smile that says, “I did it.” There is room for all of them here.

Saint Haven currently serves Kindergarten and 1st Grade. As the school community grows, there is the possibility of adding one grade each year.

Led by Dr. Shepard and grounded in God's Word, our small school makes space for personal attention, encouragement, and a close connection with families.

Dr. Shepard's Sheep

A playful classroom name with a meaningful promise: each child is guided, encouraged, and cared for as part of one close community.

“He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”

Isaiah 40:11 · KJV
