Havergal has a strong history as a leader in girls’ education. For 130 years, we have been at the forefront and we are continuing on our path of progress. Building upon our track record of excellence, we have developed a plan that will prepare girls for every possible version of the future. Through investments in programs, curriculum and facilities, our plan seeks to provide an unparalleled student experience by focusing on three core pillars:

  • Connection, Wellbeing & Belonging
  • Transforming Tomorrow
  • Future-Ready

We are igniting impactful change to inspire the next generation.

In partnership with Berlineaton, a Canadian-based management consulting firm with extensive independent school experience, we undertook three phases of strategic framework development—scan, articulate and define phases—from November 2022 through to June 2023 to help inform our direction and narrow our focus.
