The Havergal Education
HAVERGAL COLLEGE
A Havergal education provides an exceptional opportunity.
It sets the stage for future success and lays the
foundation for a lifetime of discovery and learning. Our
students are taught how to think, learn and question.
Most importantly, Havergal students discover themselves
and the possibilities in the world around them.
OUR MISSION
Havergal’s mission is to prepare young women to make
a difference. This means an education that provides
opportunities for students to embark on a path of
collaborative discovery and:
• find and pursue their passions;
• engage in the world;
• develop their courage, creativity and leadership;
• become prepared for thoughtful engagement in their
communities; and
• develop capacity to question with rigour and
accuracy.
The hallmarks of a Havergal education are enriched,
broad-based educational programs and rigorous academic
standards, a stimulating and supportive learning
environment and a strong community that fosters the
qualities of leadership, good citizenship and integrity.
These pillars of excellence prepare our graduates to be
leaders of the future and have positioned Havergal at the
forefront of women’s education for more than 100 years.
THE HAVERGAL EDUCATION
A Havergal education means superb quality in teaching;
it means learning and living the principles upon which a
civil and compassionate society are built; and it means
developing lifelong friendships with people across the
globe.
Expansive in scope and content, Havergal’s liberal
arts education encourages students to: think critically,
independently and creatively; experience and understand
a complex, interconnected world; recognize how
important an understanding of the past is to exploring
possibilities for the future; and seek and achieve balance
and well-being.
Our commitment to our students is honoured in
several important ways. Havergal students learn in an
environment designed to bring out their best in thought,
word and deed. In ways large and small, faculty and staff
are focused on our students’ well-being: they work to
help students understand the transitions in their lives, to
make purposeful choices and to take reasoned action.
Havergal is a place where we appreciate the importance
of celebrating creativity and imagination and recognize
and respect the capabilities of others.
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.
