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.

Without the generosity of our community, SCS would not be able to provide the exceptional program that we do for our students.

As part of our 125th anniversary celebrations, we were thrilled to welcome Hon. Michelle Cooper, Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions and the Member of Provincial Parliament for Eglinton-Lawrence, to SCS for a tour of the School led by Principal Perry and Tamara Y. ’27! The tour was highlighted by great conversations about mental health and wellbeing, SCS history, and the evolution of the neighbourhood we’ve been a part of since 1901; as well as several impromptu meetings with students of all ages. To conclude the visit, MPP Cooper presented SCS with a signed letter of congratulations, as well as a commemorative scroll from the Premier of Ontario.
There is still time to reserve your spot! In just one week, we`ll welcome Dr. Jenny (Lobb) Ingram ’68 to SCS for a screening of her documentary No More Silent Battles and a discussion on dementia home care in Canada.
Monday, November 2
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Dr. Ingram has spent her career as a trailblazer in senior care. From founding the Kawartha Centre to establishing GAIN Geriatric teams, her advocacy has changed the landscape for senior health in Ontario. No More Silent Battles, a powerful documentary that shines the light on the growing crisis of dementia care in Canada, is her latest endeavour to ensure the voices of families dealing with dementia are heard.
RSVP at our link in bio. We hope to see you there!
Earlier this month, our Grades 7 and 12 students headed to @camp.arowhon in Algonquin Park for a few days of outdoor adventure. From early-morning paddles and polar bear dips to camp-wide games and a lively Talent Show, this annual grade trip offered countless opportunities for students to step outside their comfort zones, develop new skills, and make memories together.
The cross-grade experience is also a great reminder of what makes SCS unique. With students from Grades 1-12 learning together under one roof, connections across grades happen naturally. This was reinforced at Camp Arowhon, where our Middle Schoolers and grads were learning, leading, and cheering one another on!
The Senior School Hub was popping earlier this week, as our Grade 12 students hosted a popcorn sale in support of a soon-to-be-announced school partnership! Thank you to everyone who purchased a snack in support. 🍿
Annie Balasubramanian ’23 returned to SCS recently to speak with Ms Guarasci’s Kinesiology class, sharing more about the unique journey she’s been navigating since she graduated. A sailor racing for the Canadian Sailing Team and the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, Annie is campaigning towards the LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.
Annie explained the basics of sailing races to the class before taking them on a deeper dive of what the sport requires from a kinesiology lens. She also described her Team Canada pursuits and the decision to pause her university education in order to go after her Olympic dream.
The visit also featured several interactive activities. Students had to guess which muscle groups are used during hiking, a sailing term for leaning your body weight out over the edge of a boat so that it doesn’t tip over in the wind. Then, after looking at three energy systems – aerobic base, anaerobic bursts, and VO2 Max – the class was tasked with collaborating in small groups to identify the root cause of three hypothetical athletes’ problems and suggest exercises to address the issue.
Annie, SCS is cheering you on!
After reading The Tray of Togetherness by author Flo Leung, the Grade 2s reflected on the traditions that matter most to them and their families. They then created five yummy-looking foods from modelling clay to represent meaningful celebrations in their lives and paired each one with a written reflection about its significance.
Way to go, Grade 2!
Last week, Grades 6 and 9 set off for Willowgrove Outdoor Education Centre for a day of collaboration and team building!
Through a variety of activities, the students worked on building relationships with their classmates and connecting with peers in the other grade. Each challenge encouraged teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and cooperation, resulting in a day full of chances to strengthen connections within and across the two grades, build trust, and grow as a community. (Full-grade experiences like this one are an important piece of our overall approach to experiential learning at SCS!)
One of the more surprising chapters in SCS history? We weren`t always a girls` school! When St. Clement`s opened in 1901, both boys and girls attended. In fact, by 1917, boys actually outnumbered girls. SCS became an all girls` school in 1932 and adopted the uniform of navy tunic, white blouse, and iconic red blazer with school crest that remains to this day. #SCS125
Last Friday, eight SCS students headed to Branksome Hall for the Toronto Youth STEM and Innovation Conference (TYSIC). Students spent the day learning from leaders in technology, finance, and other STEM-related fields, while also putting their own ideas into action through innovation challenges. The experience culminated in student pitches presented to a panel of judges.
Congratulations to all of our participants for embracing the challenge and sharing their creativity and innovative thinking!
SCS had exceptional success at the International Independent Schools Public Speaking Championships (IISPSC) in Oakville this past weekend! Valerie F. ’28, Eli W. ’27, and Cherry Y. ’27 each gave committed and engaging performances in a wide variety of speeches both planned (pre-written and practiced) and impromptu ("on the spot").
Cherry and Valerie competed together in the Cross-Examination Debate finals; Valerie also achieved the distinction of reaching the finals in all three of her categories: Cross-Examination Debate, Parliamentary Debate, and Extemporaneous Speaking.
As a result of her performances, we are so proud to announce that Valerie has been selected to be one of the representatives for Team Canada at the World Public Speaking Championships in Shanghai, China in March!
Congratulations to all of our SCS competitors for their hard work, personal growth, and accomplishments last weekend!
