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.

The arts may look different for everyone, but their ability to bring people together is universal. In her introductory speech as Arts Captain for the 2026-2027 academic year, Sophia S. ’27 reflected on the many ways the arts have shaped her life and strengthened her connection to the SCS community. 🎭
From visual arts and musical theatre to choir, orchestra, and most especially dance, Sophia shared how creative experiences helped her step outside her comfort zone and embrace new opportunities. She spoke about the courage it took to join the String Orchestra as a young student, as well as the compassion she experienced from teachers during a memorable theatre performance and the curiosity that inspired her to audition for Chamber Choir.
Through these stories, Sophia highlighted the values of courage, compassion, and curiosity, while emphasizing the role of what she called the “secret fourth C”: community.
She also reminded us that the arts are not defined by flawless performances or perfect technique, but by their ability to help us express ourselves and connect with others.
Last week, we were thrilled to host our annual New Parent Dinner! The evening featured a menu of student favourites, reimagined with an elevated twist.
It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with new families and welcome them into our SCS community.
As part of our 125th anniversary celebrations, we`re bringing voices from across the decades together for a special one-night-only alum choir performance at this year`s Carol Service on Friday, December 11 at St. Paul`s Bloor Street.
Led by former SCS music teacher Heather Newsome, this is your chance to reconnect, reminisce, and be part of a cherished school tradition. Whether you sang in the choir years ago or simply love to sing, we`d love to have you join us. Contact kayla.ramirez@scs.on.ca.
Today, we join communities across Canada in marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to reflect on the tragic legacy of residential schools and to honour the children who never returned home, as well as the Survivors, families, and communities who continue to carry their impacts.
Throughout the week, our community has participated in a variety of opportunities for learning and reflection. On Monday, our student Indigenous Affairs Circle led a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Commemoration in assembly, sharing Walking Together by Elder Albert Marshall and introducing students to the concept of Two-Eyed Seeing. Following the reading, Sophia B. ’27 reminded us that reconciliation is about more than reflection. It is about learning, listening, and taking action to honour Survivors, remember the children who were lost, and help build a future rooted in dignity and respect.
Today, students were invited to wear orange shirts over their uniforms in recognition of Orange Shirt Day and took part in guided Flex Time discussions that expanded on Monday’s learning. Through Walking Together and the teaching of Two-Eyed Seeing, students explored how Indigenous and Western ways of knowing can work together, considered the experiences and perspectives that shape how we see the world, and reflected on the importance of respecting different knowledge systems as we continue the work of reconciliation.
As a further act of remembrance, the flag at SCS is being flown at half-mast.

A huge shout-out to the nine Clementines in our Recreation and Healthy Active Living class for organizing last week’s Terry Fox Run! 🙌
Thanks to their hard work and leadership, our community has already raised more than $1,000 in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. A special highlight this year was the inaugural Staff Relay Race, which got the whole school cheering before the run. Congratulations to Stuart House for taking home the win!
Well done to these student leaders for bringing our community together for such a meaningful cause!
Last week, our Student Council Presidents and Community Partnership Leads led a meaningful Junior School Community Time activity focused on food insecurity. Through hands-on learning, Grades 1-6 students explored the importance of supporting those in need while helping raise awareness for SCS`s annual Thanksgiving Food Drive.
This Thanksgiving season, SCS is once again partnering with St. Clement`s Church and @nyhfb to collect non-perishable food items for families and individuals in our community. Donations can be dropped off in the Main Foyer until October 8. 💙
We have a full fall line-up of co-curriculars and clubs now underway at SCS – including the Pawsitively Pets club for Junior School students! Members gathered recently to learn interesting facts about several small, furry friends. 🐹🐰
