Havergal College Course Calendar, 2016-17 Academic Year

THE HAVERGAL EXPERIENCE A rigorous academic curriculum, exceptional programs in the performing and fine arts and athletics, an active life outside the classroom, engagement with communities beyond the school and a thriving spiritual life differentiate Havergal. So, too, does the beautiful 22-acre campus with its wooded spaces, green playing fields and both heritage and contemporary architecture. Our graduates have gone on to an extraordinary array of achievements, often being pioneers in arenas where women have been under-represented. In the arts as authors, ballet dancers, musicians and painters; in the public arena as elected leaders, public policy makers and journalists; in sports as world-class athletes—gymnasts, hockey players and golfers; and in professions such as physicians, engineers, lawyers and bankers. But, most importantly, our graduates leave equipped to navigate life’s journey knowing that they will face challenges and choices. There is more to being a Havergal graduate than having received an exceptional education. Those whose lives have been touched by Havergal—as students and their families, teachers or administrators— have an abiding affection for this school. No matter where they are or what they are doing, our students have bonds with faculty, classmates, Old Girls and mentors that last a lifetime. The lessons and values they learn infuse their rich and thoughtful lives. HAVERGAL’S VISION Exceptional schools are guided and fortified by inspiring values and a compelling vision. The values of integrity, inquiry, compassion and courage give direction to all our work, but also identify us as a community that strives for excellence and that incorporates the most promising of the new while building on the richness of the past. Havergal’s vision is to be a dynamic global leader inspiring the pursuit of wisdom and self-knowledge. A focus on our values makes us aware of the larger purposes that animate our daily life and work together. ENDURING VALUES Integrity – Honesty, dignity, responsibility and respect for others guide our actions. Self-respect is a key, allowing authenticity and the ability to be true to oneself. Inquiry – Exploring, questioning and discovering guide our path of learning. Compassion – We believe that kindness and caring are part of who we are and guide what we should do. A common humanity lies at the heart of our school. Courage – We are not afraid to question the status quo and to be bold and tenacious in our pursuits and values. HAVERGAL FRAMEWORK
