Give Her Space
Welcome toSt. Clement’s School.
It’s different here at SCS. There’s something special going on, a kind of energy filled with curiosity and courage. It’s the way our students approach things, from learning to discovery to play. It’s the way we teach – more than just the requisite skills, the ability to think deeply, critically, creatively, and become more self-aware.
We fundamentally believe each student is unique, and should be known and valued as such, and that if they are to develop and thrive, learning should be as unique as they are.
At SCS, your daughter will be challenged while being encouraged to be herself. She will be supported and will grow in ways you have yet to imagine.
The SCS Experience
Take A Peek Inside SCS
For Students
We don’t just want students at SCS to thrive. We want them to boldly thrive – to see disruption as opportunity, to seize change with agility and imagination, to tackle the complex world of tomorrow with confidence and character. SCS students will flourish because they are empowered by purpose and the ability to see themselves as agents of change, challenged by the unknown, challenged to architect their own self-sustaining journeys.
Discover why SCS is the top choice for girls who want to create their own distinct path, and navigate it with confidence.

For Parents
At St. Clement’s School, your child will be supported, encouraged, and challenged.
Our commitment to academic excellence has defined the SCS experience for over a century. Your child’s educational journey will be marked by academic rigour and a renewed curriculum that continually challenges and assesses the act of learning itself in an inclusive and safe environment.
The goal is for each of our students to value learning as an outcome in itself, understanding it’s about the success of the journey, not just the destination.
For Alums
You’ll find SCS alums at top universities around the world, and in careers in a wide variety of fields.
Our grads remain connected through mentorship opportunities, reunion events, in-person and virtual classroom visits, and SCS Connects – our online network.

We were pleased to welcome alum Ruth Geddie ’00 back to Ms Abbiento`s Visual Arts, Information/Consumer Design class yesterday! Ruth engaged students in exploring the history of design and the ways global perspectives and cultural influences shape it. She also encouraged critical thinking about who determines which works are valued, the distinction between art and craft, and how colonial ideologies have helped shape dominant design principles.
Thank you, Ruth, for sharing your expertise and insights with us!
Earlier this week, Simone Wright from Parting The Roots came to SCS to speak to our American History class about the significance of hair and hairstyles in African and Black American cultures. Set in a robust historical context, students learned about hair as a form of both self- and cultural-expression, and the modern-day barriers Black Canadians and Americans face because of assumptions and biases about Black hair. Much thought was given to the lived experience of people facing discrimination, particularly the subtle yet profound ways it affects their daily lives. This valuable learning is something the students will apply directly to their current exploration of inclusion and exclusion in American History, and carry with them well beyond the classroom.
A big thank you to Simone!
In this week’s Postcard, Principal Perry reflects on a favourite hiking spot and the image of bending trees as a metaphor for growth, resilience, and the evolving definition of excellence at St. Clement’s.
A beautiful sunny morning brought our parent community together on the roof for coffee and great conversation. ☀️
Thank you to the Parents` Association for hosting such a wonderful event!
We’re throwing back to a few months ago, when conditions were chillier and offered Peace T., Alice C., Teagan J., Cindy X., and Sasha M. (all ’29) the chance to take a frosty step outside of their comfort zones and into a new outdoor experience! The Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award trip, in partnership with Headwaters Wilderness Program, was a winter camping first for all. 🌨️
“It was really cold, but really fun!” was the consensus from the participating Grade 9s; several commented on what a bonding experience it was for the small group. “We slept outside in tents, and the only way to stay warm was heat from a stove. Unfortunately, it burned out in the middle of the night - so the second sleep was particularly cold!” They learned to cook outside over the stove (no campfires) and the resulting stove s’mores were a highlight.
Other standout moments included hiking on the frozen lake, shovelling out a water hole that they could then use for a “refreshing” polar dip, and building a quinzee - a sturdy, dome-shaped snow structure.
Reflecting on what changed for them because of this experience, one of the Grade 9 students mused on the benefit of slowing down and being present: “All the little stresses from home life went away. We could focus on both big and small things and really take things in - like noticing the little animal tracks that could be seen on the snow.” ❄️
Check out these photos from a recent Junior Programming Engineers Club meeting for Grades 2 and 3! With support from Grade 11 mentors and SCS staff, students explored coding through fun exercises and games, discovering just how exciting technology can be.
For some, that excitement says it all: “I love robotics because I love coding and doing fun stuff with computers!” shared Aria Q. ’36.
The impact is just as meaningful for the mentors, too! As Kilee G-S. and Taylor Y., both ’27, explain, “This program encourages young kids to get involved in STEM and gives them a sense of future opportunities in this field. We both enjoy being mentors as it gives us the chance to get to know the Grades 2s and 3s.”
It’s safe to say this club is fully programmed for success! 💻
Congratulations to Dorothy N. ’34, who recently represented Ontario in the U10 Interprovincial Tennis Competition against Quebec at the end of April! This year, Ontario won for the first time in several years, and above that, Dorothy was the only female player on Team Ontario to win 3 medals: 2 gold and 1 silver. 🏅
Advantage, Dorothy! 🎾
Our Grade 4 class had a special morning last week, as they once again welcomed the Kindergarteners from St. Clement’s Early Learning School! This is an ongoing partnership between SCS and SCELS. Working in small groups, they took on tower-building challenges, played games, participated in mindful activities, and shared their ideas about what it means to be a good friend.
We love seeing our Grade 4s step into leadership roles while guiding and encouraging their younger partners. Together, they added thoughtful words to a growing Friendship Wall and brought those ideas to life through creative flower crafts. 🌸
The Grades 1 and 2 classes recently started a new Communities unit and took an exciting trip to Harbourfront for some related hands-on learning! The students explored our local waterfront community, and discovered the importance of oral storytelling by listening to stories shared through this tradition. Inspired by the experience, they created a piece of artwork which is serving as the basis for a new piece of creative writing! 🖊️
Biodiversity has been the subject of the Grade 6s’ science classes recently, and in support of this learning the students stepped into the natural world with a trip to Evergreen Brick Works! Offering a unique mosaic of wetland, forest, and meadow, students participated in the Brick Works’ Web of Life program which had them exploring ecosystems, investigating the connections that exist between them, and learning about the various species that call these ecosystems home.
