For over 100 years, Havergal College has provided young women with an exceptional education in an environment that encourages both inquiry and curiosity, and celebrates community. In 1894, Havergal’s founding principal, Ellen Knox, defined the school’s mission with the question she posed to her students -- “What will you do?”

That question continues to guide Havergal and its students through the challenges that come from a constantly changing world. Its influence is evident in our students and graduates to this day: women making a difference for good in the world by living their lives with purpose and as involved citizens.

I encourage you to visit our beautiful 22-acre campus, to tour both our heritage and contemporary buildings and to speak with our faculty and students to see, first-hand, the benefits of a Havergal education.

  • Enriched academics with Advanced Placement courses
  • Student leadership opportunities
  • Boarding and Global Experience Programs
  • 100% of graduates continuing to the university of their choice
  • Extensive co-curricular programs
  • Scholarships and bursaries
  • State-of-the-art facilities on the largest girls' school campus in Toronto
 

Behind the ivy-covered walls of Havergal College, girls develop into extraordinary young women with inquiring minds, global capability and self-awareness. A Havergal girl is encouraged to investigate and explore the world around her while discovering her own unique capabilities. She is not afraid to ask questions and take risks. She is an excellent communicator who is adaptable and confident. She balances a variety of opportunities while living her life with passion and confidence, knowing she possesses the academic and life skills to make a difference and be effective anytime, anywhere and with anyone. As an Old Girl, she will join our proud continuum of 8,000 alumnae who are networked to each other and to the world. To experience the Havergal difference, book a visit to our beautiful 22-acre campus and encourage your daughter to discover the joy of being a girl!
