Havergal College is looking to recruit bright, eager and driven students who excel at academics and have an interest in making a difference in the world to join the HC community. Havergal does not offer an ESL program. In order for students to be successful at Havergal, they must be able to demonstrate fluency in both oral and written communication. Applicants applying to Grades 4 through 11 whose first language is not English may be required to complete an English proficiency test.

Entrance Test Requirements

All applicants will have an interview with our Admissions department. These interviews can be in-person or on Zoom. All Grade 9 Boarding applicants will complete an academic assessment during their interview. Through guided conversation, we will work through a series of tasks which are designed to provide Havergal with an understanding of each applicant’s skills in a number of areas such as: literacy, numeracy, communication, critical thinking, problem solving and self-awareness. All Grade 10 and 11 Boarding applicants must write the SSAT. Please visit ssat.org for testing dates. Applicants may be interviewed prior to writing the SSAT.
