COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
Havergal does not offer cooperative education courses at this time. Students interested in experiential
learning opportunities should consult the Forum for Change.
POLICY ON SUMMER SCHOOL, NIGHT SCHOOL, SATURDAY SCHOOL AND
CORRESPONDENCE COURSES
In order that an Ontario Secondary School Diploma granted by Havergal College reflects academic
work done at the school, Havergal has implemented the following policy on supplementary courses.
These include summer school courses, night school courses, courses delivered through the
Independent Learning Centre (ILC) and Saturday courses.
1. Students must take all compulsory courses for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, including
ENG4U, at Havergal.
2. Students must take all prerequisite courses at Havergal, e.g. a student may not take SBI3U
Biology in the summer and then register for SBI4U Biology at Havergal in a subsequent year.
3. Students will not be permitted to register at an ILC, night school or Saturday school course if the
course is offered and available to the student at Havergal.
4. Students registered in Saturday, night or ILC courses must maintain the minimum course load
in their day program. If a student enters Grade 12 and needs six credits to fulfill the diploma
requirement, she must be registered for six courses at Havergal.
There may be exceptions to the above policy due to extenuating circumstances such as prolonged
illness, an extraordinary commitment (e.g. National Team competition) or other special needs. These
exceptions will be determined on an individual basis by Guidance, the Director of Curriculum, the Head
of Upper School and the Department Head of the particular subject.
PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT AND RECOGNITION (PLAR)
Havergal does not offer a PLAR procedure but will consider substitutions as deemed appropriate.
REACH-AHEAD OPPORTUNITIES FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Under exceptional circumstances, an individual student in Grade 8, with parental consent, may be
given permission by the Principal of a secondary school to “reach ahead” to take secondary school
courses during the school year. The Principal of the elementary school and the Principal of the
secondary school will decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether “reaching ahead” to take a secondary
school course is in the best interest of the student. The Principal of the secondary school will assume
responsibility for evaluating the student’s achievement and for granting and recording the credit. This
evaluation may include a Havergal College exam and consultation with the appropriate Department
Head and the Director of Curriculum. In addition, a reach ahead credit form will have to be properly
