Senior School:Grades 10-12.
Our enriched academic program is built on a strong core program, while creating flexibility to take an individualized curricular path.
Each of our girls is supported along this path with her own LINCWell Counsellor, who provides both academic and personal counselling, as well as guidance throughout the university application process. Our formalized and integrated leadership training program for all senior students helps them to hone their skills, as they emerge as the leaders of SCS. In her graduating year, each student will hold a formal role so that she can practice her leadership style and collaborate with students in other grades.
Senior SchoolAcademics & Curriculum
Senior School is a time for deeper exploration, marked by continued academic growth and ongoing leadership opportunities. Students continue to immerse themselves in deep, subject-specific content, and connect learning across subject lines.
The diverse subject offerings and student-centred teaching methods allow students to concentrate their learning in areas of personal interest. Students learn to use collaboration, feedback, and reflection to engage in critical issues which will continue to impact them beyond SCS’s walls.
Co-CurricularPrograms
Senior School students actively participate in and provide leadership to a rich program of co-curricular activities. Many student-led clubs are offered to both Middle and Senior School students, allowing those in Grades 7-12 the opportunity to interact and mentor each other.
On the court or outside, Senior School students can participate in many different sports. Teams at the senior level include Alpine Skiing, Badminton, Basketball, Cross Country, Ice Hockey, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis, Track and Field, and Volleyball.
Students interested in developing and sharing their creative skills have the opportunity to do so through participation in our Choirs, Bands, dramatic productions, visual arts clubs, the Lumina fashion design show, and in Assemblies.
LINCWell
LINCWell is a full school, Grades 1-12 approach designed to craft a school experience for each of our students that is characterized by Learning, Individualization, Nurturing, Creativity, and Wellbeing.
LINCWell’s overarching goal is to provide each one of our students with key resources, or tools, as well as the ability to know when to use each tool according to their individual needs and preferences. Having a “toolbox” of key resources to pull from contributes to each student’s wellbeing.
As our students develop these tools, they are enabled to learn well, lead well, and live well; empowering them to be able to successfully navigate the opportunities and challenges they will experience at SCS, and beyond.
Student Leadership
Our students develop leadership skills.
The skill development and learning experiences conclude with a leadership experience in Grade 12, which may be a formal role leading a co-curriciular, club, council, committee, or a competitive team. Students in Grades 11 and 12 serve as School Ambassadors (to welcome prospective Clementines), and mentors for Middle School students.
Advanced Placement (AP)
Advanced Placement provides internationally recognized opportunities for students to experience university-level courses while in high school. AP courses encourage critical thinking, build academic preparedness and foster success. St. Clement’s School is a leader in the delivery of Advanced Placement courses, offering Grades 11 and 12 students a choice of AP subjects, including Art History, Biology, Calculus, French, and Chemistry. St. Clement’s students consistently report that the AP experience contributes to their success at university.
Advanced Placement (AP)Capstone Diploma
St. Clement’s was chosen as the first girls’ school in Canada to implement the Advanced Placement Capstone Diploma.
This innovative diploma program provides students with an opportunity to engage in rigourous scholarly practice of the core academic skills that are fundamental to university success. AP Capstone builds on discipline-specific AP courses, cultivating curious, independent, and collaborative scholars through a challenging and exciting two-year program, beginning in Grade 11.

Today was York House Day — and the grand finale of our four House Days for the year! 💛
SCS was glowing in every shade of yellow as our community came together for fun challenges and (very) loud House cheers. Continuing this year`s Disney Parks theme for every House Day, we also arrived in Magic Kingdom via the East Gym! 🏰
Thanks to the support of our Parents` Association, we were pleased to welcome Dr. Greg Wells for an informative evening with our parent community! Dr. Wells also met with students and staff this week, sharing his findings and anecdotes on the importance of sleep, nutrition, and wellbeing.
Our school community gathered at St. Clement’s Church this morning for our annual Easter Service! With Past Staff Louise Melville visiting and her daughter Liv beautifully piping students to the church, the overcast day felt like a moment straight out of a Scottish novel.
Three eras of SCS leadership! Earlier this week, Martha Perry and Pat Parisi were thrilled to join Hazel Perkin’s 94th birthday celebration. 🎉🎂
Earlier this year, 27 SCS students in Grades 8 to 12 participated in The Yale International Relations Essay Competition, an essay-writing contest that promotes critical thinking and connects students from around the world with Yale student mentors. The students attended weekly webinars and prepared 400-word essays in response to the question, "What does a sustainable future look like in an increasingly connected and technologically advanced world, and how might international policy create this future?"
Out of hundreds of entries, only 10 finalists per grade were chosen… and we’re proud to say SCS made the Top 50!
Congratulations to Zoe X. ’30 in Grade 8, whose essay explored how a sustainable future must prioritize renewable resources and clean energy in AI.
Way to represent SCS on the world stage, Zoe!
In this week’s Postcard, Principal Perry celebrates the student creativity and leadership on display in BioLumina, the 2026 Lumina Fashion Design Show.
Today, we were pleased to welcome Claire Leong from Wycombe Abbey (UK) to SCS. An educator and exchange coordinator, Claire was immersed in the full SCS experience, beginning this morning at assembly! She spent the rest of the day exploring SCS with Emily Paul, our own faculty member who coordinates the national and international experiences available to SCS students. (Our schools are already connected as members of the International Coalition of Girls` Schools!)
Thank you for joining our community for the day, Claire! We’re grateful for the opportunity to share ideas and strengthen our global connections.
In Grade 5, the doctor is in (for real)! SCS parent Dr. Vera Dounaevskaia came to class this week to oversee an exploration of some of the different medical equipment doctors use to check patient reflexes and blood pressure. The students also learned how to listen for a regular heartbeat, and test their oxygen levels! 🩺
Our Grade 12 students learned about kitchen safety, practiced their knife skills, and prepared beautiful (and tasty!) snack boards during a recent FLEX activity. They left with skills that will serve them well in dorms or student housing next year, and one team took home the glory of being the inaugural winner of the Grade 12 Charcuterie Challenge! 🧀
A friendly reminder to all Grades 1–12 parents: we are excited to welcome Dr. Greg Wells to Powell Hall this Thursday, April 16!
Thanks to the generous support of the Parents’ Association, Dr. Wells, a renowned scientist, physiologist, and bestselling author of The Ripple Effect, will share practical, science‑backed strategies to support better sleep, nutrition, movement, and overall wellbeing for both students and families.
