About Hawthorn School
[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
Hawthorn is the only independent, Catholic-inspired, all-girl school in Toronto. We are also the only girls’ school that provides a “small-school experience”, where each girl is known, participates and flourishes in every aspect of school life.
In 1989, a group of parents and educators founded a school specifically for the purpose of educating the whole person. The founders dreamed of a school that would recognize parents as the first and most important educators in their children’s lives. They envisioned equal priority being given to the pursuit of academic excellence and the development of character. Today, Hawthorn is part of an international network of similar schools, around the world, that provide an integral education.
