About Haven Courses™
Haven was built around one fact most learning platforms avoid: the best person to teach a fifteen-year-old is often not an adult.
Invite-onlyOperated by an individualAges 13+
Small on purpose
Invite-only while the safety systems are proven with a small group of teachers and students.
Verified, not vetted
We confirm identity through Persona. We do not pretend to certify what someone knows.
Safety in the database
Access rules live at the data layer, not behind hidden buttons. 216 tests keep it that way.
Honest pages
Our accessibility and safety pages list what is missing. That is deliberate.
Why age-neutral teaching
A talented sixteen-year-old can teach calculus to someone older than them. We think they should be allowed to. But that means minors are on both sides of Haven — teaching and learning — and a platform where that is true has to be built differently from the first line of code.
Everything else about Haven follows from that decision: narrow messaging, guardian consent, manual guardian links, contact-exchange detection.
Where we are

What we will not do
