Description
Herschel, founded in 1922, is an independent Anglican School that provides an incomparable learning continuum for girls from Pre-Nursery to Grade 12 and celebrates the diversity of our students from varied cultural backgrounds. We work tirelessly to create an environment in which every girl has the opportunity to thrive and in which she is encouraged to cultivate a passion for life, to become engaged in the learning process and to develop to her full potential.
We focus on the spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual well-being of the pupils in a positive vein and invite them to enjoy their education. There is a demonstrated commitment to beliefs and values education, and as such the girls are encouraged to develop ethical and moral values, self esteem, self-confidence and a sense of their own worth. In all their undertakings the girls are urged to take risks, to step into uncharted zones and to find the balance between their need for school support and their own ability to face challenges.
The girls are taught in an environment in which they develop a sense of social justice and compassion and become independent learners. We believe that girls need to develop maturity in interpersonal relationships and learn to deal with the elements of both success and failure.
Herschel offers a breadth of curriculum that is combined with excellent academic standards and a rich spread of extra-curricular activities, including culture, sports, clubs and societies. Our teachers combine traditional elements with innovation within the framework of the National Curriculum Statement of the Department of Education. We have been fortunate to be able to modernise and extend our facilities and yet retain the character of a long tradition of excellent schooling.
