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.
Senior School students are engaged in ongoing conversation with staff advisors about their leadership role(s). They understand that leaders are always learning and reflecting on their experiences, as part of their personal growth and skill development.
All senior students are required to contribute to the SCS community in a leadership position, but have some flexibility to make it what they want it to be – like leading a new club focused on something they are passionate about.
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.

SCS, we could not be more excited for your return on Tuesday! 🎉 But first, have a super long weekend. 😎🥳
Just a few months ago, they were walking the halls of SCS. Now they`re beginning their next adventure. 🎓
Wishing our graduates an incredible start to university! We`re cheering you on every step of the way.
In just a few more days, we`ll be officially back to school - and kicking off an entire year of celebrating our 125th anniversary. 🎉 Working with the Uptown Yonge BIA and commemorating the School`s (very!!) long history as a part of the Yonge and Eglinton neighbourhood, a series of anniversary banners were hung this morning. Look up the next time you`re on Yonge Street - and get excited to celebrate, SCS!

Welcome to Society, a fast-paced collection of student-created scenes where corporate retreats unravel, bachelorette parties go sideways, and no creative idea is off limits.
Developed entirely by last year`s Grade 12 Drama students, the production proved that some of the best stories come from collaboration. Through collective creation, students learned to balance creativity and respect while building something uniquely their own.
Read the full story at the link in our bio.
Our faculty returned today! We kicked off a week of Professional Development for all staff this morning to connect, collaborate, and prepare for the new 2026-2027 academic year. We can`t wait to have all of our Clementines back in the building too! See you on September 8. 😊
POV: It`s the first day of school at SCS... every year for the last decade! 🎒
Swipe through ten years of first-day memories, from 2016 to 2025, and see just how much has changed (and how much has stayed the same) at 21 St. Clements.
Now all that`s missing is 2026. See you all on Tuesday, September 8!
Last spring, when the flowers were starting to bloom, our Grades 1 and 2 artists reached beyond their paint brushes to create their own springtime cherry blossom masterpieces – using a straw!
With less than two weeks until 21 St. Clements is once more full of vibrant life, SCS spirit, and breathtaking creativity, we can`t wait to see what marvellous works our budding artists will create in the Junior School art studio this year. 😊
What do you learn when your classroom is a forest? 🌲
This year, Grade 5 students partnered with The Pine Project to develop practical outdoor skills, from building quinzhees and rain shelters to learning fire-starting and wilderness first aid techniques. They also learned something less tangible but equally important: how to work together and embrace new experiences with confidence.
Read more about our partnership with The Pine Project and the impact it`s having on our students at the link in bio.
As we begin a new school year, the SCS Parents’ Association warmly invites parents and caregivers to join us for coffee and conversation on Tuesday, September 8, from 7:45 to 9:00 a.m.
This gathering offers a wonderful opportunity to reconnect following the summer break, welcome new families, and strengthen the connections that make our SCS community so special.
We look forward to sharing the morning with you! ☕✨
Thinking about SCS for your family? We`d love to meet you this fall! Join us for one of our upcoming Open Houses on Friday, October 16 or Friday, November 20 and discover what makes our school community so special. Explore all that happens within our learning spaces, connect with students and staff members, and learn more about the programs and opportunities that shape life at SCS.
