Trafalgar School for Girls, founded in 1887, is an independent school offering a secondary school education to girls. A small school of 210 students, our strength lies in our ability to truly get to know each girl and to allow her a variety of opportunities to build on her strengths and understand and cope with her weaknesses. Activities include the arts, athletics, special interest groups, and community service with student initiative and leadership being critical to the success of these programs. Bursaries are available due to the generosity of parents and alumnae.
