Friday Feature: Fairhaven Program

Donald Antenen says he was working on the Fairhaven Program for years before he opened it—developing the curriculum and putting the idea together. “Then two years ago, I took the leap and quit my day job and opened it,” he says. “The first year, I had five students, and this year I’ve doubled enrollment to 10.”

Located in Fairhaven, Washington, the program offers two days per week of seminar-style classes for high school students. “I’m not a school,” Donald stresses.
