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.

Several weeks into the summer, we`re still feeling so proud of our amazing Clementines - including our inspiring Class of 2026! Join us as we revisit some favourite moments from our 125th Annual Closing Ceremonies and Graduation at Massey Hall in June. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do! 📸
Before school was officially out for summer, the Grade 5 class highlighted some of their recent learning with the wider Junior School community. As they worked to gain knowledge about Indigenous Peoples in Canada, students were asked this driving question: “How did the first meetings between Indigenous Peoples and Europeans change life in what is now Canada?” (In Project-Based Learning, a driving question is the central, open-ended question that frames an entire unit of study and guides students’ sustained inquiry).
Part of the response to this driving question included an exploration of Indigenous artifacts and the corresponding meaning and cultural significance for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in Canada. The Grade 5s then shared what they had learned with other students in Grades 1-6, and Junior School teachers too!
At SCS, reading is better together! Through our Hooked on Books club, students and their special guests come together to explore interesting books and create lasting memories throughout the year. Find out why participation in this club resonates with Junior School families at our link in bio. 📖
Summer was in full swing for our SCS Variety Program campers last week, as they enjoyed outdoor play, got creative with art and hands-on activities, and had an awesome trip to Eglinton Park! They also loved cooling off with the unicorn sprinklers in the Side Yard (a great way to beat the heat), designing bracelets, cooking with Chef Ngan in our cafeteria, and experimenting with Oobleck during the Scientist in School workshop. 😎🎨
And to top it all off, campers ended the program in style with a special Pajama Day filled with stuffed animal portraits, sparkly keychains, Pixar movies, and painted flowerpots. Talk about an action-packed week!
Happy Canada Day to our SCS community! 🇨🇦
Today, we celebrate the diversity of our people, the natural beauty of our land, and our collective commitment to reconciliation and peace. As we reflect on our past, let’s continue working toward a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
At the 2026 International Coalition of Girls’ Schools (ICGS) Global Conference last week, Junior School Learning Strategist AnnMarie Zigrossi (pictured third from left) reunited with the six teachers from the UK, Australia, and the US she has been mentoring for the last 18 months! AnnMarie has been providing her insight and expertise as these teachers successfully completed their own action research into AI interventions in the classroom, as part of ICGS’ Global Action Research Collaborative (GARC). Participating Research Fellows study how a girls’ school education impacts students’ confidence, leadership, learning, and wellbeing, supported by Advisors like AnnMarie. (AnnMarie’s own research into mindfulness in Grade 3 earned her the GARC Researcher of the Year Award in 2023!)
St. Clement’s School was proud to have a lot of representation at last week’s International Coalition of Girls’ Schools (ICGS) Global Conference!
After an SCS choir officially opened the event in the best musical way, we had several staff members lending their varied expertise to the global conference proceedings.
Principal Martha Perry acted as a Mentor for the Global Leadership Institute, which is a one-year ICGS fellowship to advance leadership expertise in girls’ organizations worldwide.
Jaime Malic, Teacher and Researcher, and Heather Henricks, Vice Principal, presented “Learning to Thrive: Talking to Alum about Preparedness for Life After Graduation”, which highlighted insights from the School’s first five-year longitudinal research study (still underway) which aims to move beyond traditional measures of preparedness like grades or test scores and instead, gather the voices of recent SCS graduates.
Mark Will, Curriculum and Department Leader, Social Sciences, delivered “The Survey is Dead! Long Live the Survey! Building Girls’ Engagement in History”. His session explored how traditional survey courses can be reimagined, helping students learn thematically and collaboratively across time periods while strengthening their historical thinking skills.
AnnMarie Zigrossi, Junior School Learning Strategist and an ICGS In-School Mentor with their Global Action Research Collaborative co-presented “Stronger Together: A Global Emotions Project”, sharing a two-year international research collaboration with two Australian schools: Seymour College in Adelaide and Pymble Ladies’ College in Sydney. The project explored how explicitly teaching emotional regulation skills to girls can support wellbeing and help them build personalized coping and resilience strategies for school and beyond.
It is so inspiring to see SCS staff members bring their knowledge and passion for advancing girls’ education to a global community!
Summer is the perfect time to dive into a great book! If you’re still looking for page-turner (or you’ve already zoomed through your reading list!), our Library team has you covered. Here are some top reading recommendations by age.
Happy summer reading, SCS! ☀️📖
Chinchillas and geckos and snakes, oh my! 🐍 Grades 1-4 students kicking off the summer with our SCS Variety Program this week enjoyed getting up close and personal with some amazing creatures, courtesy of Pawsitively Pets!
