THE FORUM FOR CHANGE AT
HAVERGAL
The Forum for Change 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 it.
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 abroad. 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.
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.
