Havergal’s Strengths
Havergal College prepares young women to make a
difference in their chosen pursuits by enabling each
student to develop her full intellectual, creative, spiritual
and physical potential.
In the 21st century—an age of instant and global
communication—young women must think critically and
creatively, make thoughtful and logical decisions, facilitate
change and solve problems. They must be willing to
stand by their own decisions and stand up for others.
They must have strong personal values. They must be
innovative and persistent, respect differences and be
willing to explore opportunities for learning at every stage
of life. At Havergal, we prepare young women to succeed
in the 21st century.
