Dear Future Havergal Family,
Imagine your daughter’s future with the advantage of a Havergal education. We invite you and your daughter to discover why our school provides an outstanding place for girls to learn and grow and why Havergal is the right fit for so many students. Our 22-acre campus and combination of heritage and state-of-the-art buildings provide a beautiful setting for academic learning and co-curricular programs that are designed specifically for girls.
The Admission team will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the admission and application process. You can also view frequently asked questions here and important admissions dates here. Financial assistance (scholarships and bursaries) is also available to help eliminate the tuition fee barrier for exceptional students who otherwise would not be able to attend Havergal.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. We look forward to meeting you and your family.
Sincerely,
Maggie Houston-White
Executive Director, Strategic Enrolment Management

I’ve been at Havergal for just over 20 years and am so proud to be a part of this community. Havergal is more than a school to me—it’s the place where I continue to learn and grow, where I can continue to discover and where I am fortunate enough to be a part of the magic that happens each day for our students and my colleagues. I am looking forward to sharing my Havergal with you and helping you find your Havergal.
Emily Simms-Brown
Director of Admission
As I begin my seventh school year at Havergal, I can say with confidence that this is a school where students become lifelong learners who value a sense of community. Seeing them try new things and discover their interests and passions gives me a true sense of joy. I feel honoured to meet with so many families who are looking to find the right school for their child and look forward to connecting with you and your family.

Having the opportunity to meet with families at the Junior School and working with the incredible faculty and staff over the past two years has been such a positive experience. Discovering the benefits of an all-girls education and seeing first-hand why Havergal’s reputation for excellence is so well earned has also been wonderful. Of course, the highlight has been interacting with our students. I am looking forward to returning to life “behind the ivy.”
Caitlin Collis
Associate Director of Admission
As an Old Girl and former Boarder, I am excited to be back at Havergal for the 2021-22 school year. There have been some exciting changes since I was last here, including the completion of a beautiful new addition in the Upper School and the founding of our digital innovation hub, HC-X, but the commitment of the school to preparing students to be confident, curious and compassionate learners remains the same. I’m looking forward to connecting with prospective families and sharing more about this incredible community and the value of a Havergal education.

I joined Havergal five years ago and have enjoyed being part of the Admission team and school community. Working primarily in the Junior School around our youngest learners is such a joy, as I am able to observe each child learning and growing in this supportive environment. I look forward to assisting and supporting each family applying to Havergal through the admission process, helping to make it a smooth and positive experience.
Laura Staffen
Admission Assistant
Having worked at Havergal for more than two years, I can say without a doubt I adore looking out my office window at all of the green space that this campus has to offer. I look forward to watching it come to life each fall with the return of students and seeing our community thrive with all the outdoor activities that Havergal has to offer. Meeting and assisting our Upper School and Boarding families through the admission process is such a delight each year; please feel free to connect with me anytime!
