Havergal College Course Calendar, 2017-18 Academic Year

THE FORUM FOR CHANGE AT HAVERGAL

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.

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.
