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 SCS community is invited to attend a conversation about dementia home care with Dr. Jenny (Lobb) Ingram ’68, Geriatric Medicine Specialist, and a screening of her documentary, No More Silent Battles.
Monday, November 2
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Powell Hall, St. Clement’s School
21 St. Clements Ave.
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.

In her role as House Captain for the 2026-2027 academic year, Lauren D. ’27 shared a heartfelt reflection on the freedom to be unapologetically yourself, one of the qualities she values most about St. Clement’s School.
Lauren spoke about the unique culture of the School, where students feel encouraged to take risks, embrace new opportunities, and, in her words, “be as weird as you want to be.” From confidently giving the wrong answer in class to showing up to House Day in an over-the-top outfit, she celebrated the supportive environment that allows students to step outside their comfort zones without fear of judgment.
Lauren shared stories from her own SCS journey, including her memorable first House Day in Grade 7 and the nerves she felt joining the Concert Band as a Grade 8 student. While both experiences pushed her beyond her comfort zone, they ultimately led to lasting friendships and some of her most rewarding experiences at SCS.
As House Captain, Lauren hopes to foster a House community where every student feels welcome to participate, show their spirit, and discover new passions, all while embracing what makes them uniquely themselves.
Wishing our Senior Soccer Team the very best as they compete in the CAIS National Tournament in New Brunswick. The whole SCS community is cheering you on! ⚽

A very important feathered friend waddled into SCS history in 1987: the one-and-only Penguin! 🐧 For nearly four decades, SCS`s mascot has been encouraging spirit, smiles, and a little extra energy at assemblies, House Days, sporting events, and school celebrations. These days, Penguin is also a welcoming fixture at events like our fall Open Houses! While Penguin`s look may have changed over the years, the excitement our beloved mascot is met with has remained. #SCS125
This afternoon, senior students gathered in the East Gym for our University Fair, organized by LINCWell and featuring representatives from universities across Canada. It was a wonderful opportunity for students in Grades 10-12 to ask questions and explore postsecondary options both close to home and across the country.
A visit from marine biologist Jessica Robichaud, PhD, yesterday morning had our Grade 2 students swimming with ideas! After learning about permit fish, migration, life cycles, and environmental conservation, students are extending their science learning across different subject areas by designing permit-themed math games that incorporate counting, addition, and early multiplication.
Soon, they`ll share their creations with Grade 1 students and guide them through the games themselves. 🐠
