Havergal College Course Calendar, 2016-17 Academic Year

Because moral and spiritual growth are as important as intellectual development, Havergal’s values— integrity , inquiry , compassion and courage —infuse all aspects of school life. While our Anglican affiliation provides the underpinning for our spiritual life as a school, Havergal is a multi-faith community where consideration and understanding of other religious traditions are fostered. Havergal recognizes the importance and value of completing a secondary education and is committed to reaching each of our students to help them achieve a successful outcome from their time at the school. All students are required to remain in school until age 18 or have obtained an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. INSTITUTE AT HAVERGAL The Institute at Havergal supports and extends the school’s mission to prepare young women to make a difference. It provides school-wide education about the key forces shaping our world and delivers programs that enable students to explore and engage in the world. Through local and international experiences, students will develop a belief in their own capability for impact and in their capability to learn, acquire new skills and adapt to new situations. These experiences range from our after-school partnerships to student-initiated partnerships that allow our students to share in the lives of young people in Toronto and around the world. Our programs seek to expose Havergal students to the perspectives and lives of others and enable them to engage in real- world problem solving and build direct and mutual partnerships to address a shared purpose. OUR COMMUNITY Havergal is distinguished by its people and by a reputation built on commitment, integrity and constancy of purpose. • Havergal students are talented, spirited and focused; they seek and value the learning experiences that will support others and better themselves. • Our teachers are skilled in their practice, dedicated and nurturing; they are passionate about their roles in education and in guiding young women. • Parents and Old Girls actively maintain their connections to the school; they are committed to its mission and time-honoured traditions.
