Explore Havergal

Before your interview, we invite you to take our virtual tour of Havergal and join us for one of our Admission events. We look forward to welcoming prospective families to our campus for Open Houses this fall. All families considering Havergal are invited to attend our Junior School Open House on October 22, 2024  and/or our Senior School Open House on October 23, 2024. Prospective families are also welcome to sign up for tours of campus in a personalized group format. Visit our Admission Centre for details and check back often for updates and new opportunities to learn more about Havergal.

Step3

Interview & Assessment

Grades 8 is not a traditional entry year and spaces are dependent on attrition. Should a space become available, we will review all applications and invite select candidates to an interview and to participate in an assessment. We encourage families who are considering Grade 8 to complete the SSAT assessment prior to January 10, 2025. To register for the SSAT, please visit their website.

Step4

Financial Support

Deadline to apply for Financial Support: January 3, 2025

Thanks to many gifts from alumni, parents and friends, Havergal is able to move toward eliminating the tuition fee barrier for exceptional students in the Upper School who otherwise would not be able to attend Havergal. Financial support is awarded in the form of a bursary. Bursaries are based on demonstrated financial need and are confidential.

To be considered, please complete the Financial Assistance for Canadian Students (FACS) application form available on applefinancialservices.ca. The deadline for new students to apply is January 3, 2025. Financial support decisions are separate from admission decisions. Visit Tuition, Financial Support & Scholarships to learn more and to apply. Havergal also offers several Entrance Scholarships that are based on the financial need demonstrated by the candidate.

Admission Decision

All admission decisions will be emailed to families on February 21, 2025.
