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.

A milestone worth celebrating! 🎉 The students of the Graduating Class of 2026 hit an inspiring 100% participation in the Grad Class Gift, and celebrated in style with lunch and cake on the roof earlier today.
Their generosity will directly benefit the financial assistance program, leaving a lasting legacy in recognition of their time at SCS. We are grateful to all of our participating Grade 12s and their families; regardless of the donation amount, your support will make a difference to many future Clementines.
A special shoutout to Grad Class Presidents Deeya J. and Isla W. (both `26) for their help in leading this initiative and organizing the student campaign.
This afternoon, we were excited to welcome families of Grades 1-6 to the Junior School Spring Showcase! This annual event, now in its fourth year, gives parents the ability to join in on an afternoon of hands-on, fully interactive learning. For the Junior School, the Spring Showcase has become an important event for offering a window into the foundational, deeper learning occurring from the earliest grades at SCS. In an authentic nod to an actual school day, there was lots happening in each grade, including the chance for parents to try things out for themselves after receiving direction and tips from their daughters.
A similar showcase of our approach to deeper learning in action is coming up on Monday, June 1 for prospective parents considering SCS for the primary grades. Please join us for the Pathways to Primary: Step Inside Grades 1-3 event! Visit scs.on.ca/join-our-community or the link in bio to register.

Lights, camera, Clemmys! 🎥
Yesterday evening, our Upper School athletes gathered for The Clemmys, a Hollywood-inspired Athletics Banquet celebrating a remarkable year in sport at 21 St. Clements. We were honoured to welcome our guest speaker, Tara Norton, two-time Ultraman World Champion and proud parent of Maya G. ’30, who captivated the audience with her inspiring journey and reminded us all what determination and resilience can achieve.
Across all three seasons, we celebrated excellence with Most Valuable Teammate and Most Improved Player awards, recognizing the amazing growth of our athletes. A huge thank you to Bella I. ’26, Sports Captain, and the Athletics Committee for bringing this memorable event to life, as well as Charlotte S. ’30 for designing the awesome event magnets!
SCS had an incredible showing at MusicFest 2026 in Niagara Falls, earning 3 Golds and 1 Silver across our ensembles! 🎶
Our three choirs all earned Gold: Junior Choir for their polished singing and responsiveness to feedback, Chamber Choir for their strong and advanced choral work, and Senior Choir for their powerful sound and ability to transition seamlessly between pieces. Our Concert Band also did an amazing job in their first appearance at the festival, earning a well-deserved Silver for their outstanding performance, which also featured a sight-reading component!
A huge congratulations to all of our student musicians - we are so proud of them! The response from adjudicators and the wider music community made it clear that the strength of our SCS music program is something truly worth celebrating.
The primary years can shape how students approach learning for years to come. Prospective families, please join us at SCS on Monday, June 1 for the Pathways to Primary: Step Inside Grades 1-3 event! It’s a great opportunity to see our youngest Clementines in action and have your questions about these foundational years answered.
Starting at SCS in Grades 1, 2, or 3 helps students feel connected, engaged, and ready to become immersed in deeper learning from the very start. Register for our Pathways to Primary event by visiting scs.on.ca/join-our-community/ or at the link in bio.
Last week, our community gathered for an engaging Asian Heritage Month assembly presented by SCS’s Asian Student Affinity Group (ASAG), centred on this year’s theme: “We Are Not a Monolith.” The theme highlighted the diversity within Asian communities and challenged the idea that all Asians share the same experiences or identity.
During the presentation, students and staff shared personal reflections on language, heritage, and identity, encouraging the audience to listen with open minds and appreciate the uniqueness of each story. Their experiences showed how assumptions can oversimplify people and reduce diverse cultures and identities into a single narrative.
Students then took part in a reflective think-pair-share activity, considering assumptions they’ve faced or held, and engaging in thoughtful, judgment-free discussions with one another. A student video further explored how these assumptions can extend to families and communities, often shaped by media or limited perspectives.
The assembly concluded with another interactive activity that revealed both similarities and differences across the room - a powerful reminder that while we may share experiences, each person’s identity is uniquely their own.
Get excited to kick off the summer with opportunities for learning and fun! SCS is offering several general interest programs in June and July, including volleyball, a variety program for Grades 1-4, and the essentials of academic communication.
Learn more about our programming and find the links to register on our summer page in our link in bio. The extended deadline to register is Friday, May 29.
Please reach out to Megan Clay at megan.clay@scs.on.ca with any summer programming questions. 🌞🏐
We’ve got two Athletes of the Week to announce! Please join us in congratulating Junior Softball Team member Danielle L. ’29 and Senior Track and Field Team member Julia Y. ’27 on their outstanding recent performances.
Not only was Danielle an effective pitcher on the mound in the team’s last regular season game, she also hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 5th inning to help the team even up the score against HTS! Danielle brings a positive attitude to every game and practice, actively supporting her teammates. 🥎
Julia had an exceptional showing at last week’s CISAA Championships, competing across multiple events over two days. She placed 5th in Senior Girls Long Jump, 4th in Triple Jump, and 3rd in High Jump. Julia also contributed to both the 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams, which each earned 2nd place finishes. Congratulations on an incredible meet, Julia, and best of luck at Metros next week! 🎽
