At Havergal College, we have developed a culture of capability by focusing our efforts on educating the whole girl through mentoring, monitoring and honouring each student as she develops her academic, social and leadership capabilities. In all of our actions, programs and activities, we empower students with confidence, competence and resilience. Havergal-educated girls know they can make a difference in the world.

Once of the avenues our students learn self-efficacy is through The Institute at Havergal, which encourages every student to know herself and to understand the impact she can have in shaping the world in which she wants to live. The Institute supports and extends the school’s mission and provides school-wide education about the key forces shaping our lives. It delivers integrated programs to help students explore and engage in the world with a focus on impact and innovation.

Each year the Institute asks the question, “What kind of world do I want?” as an active focal point for learning. Its programs expose students to the perspectives and lives of others, enable engagement in real-world problem solving and build direct and mutual partnerships to address a shared purpose.

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 around the world.
