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.

Having landed safely in Sydney, our Clementines and staff are now exploring sunny Cairns ahead of the Round Square International Conference, which beings on September 28. We`re excited to share a few moments from their Australian adventure so far!
125 years of Clementines coming together for causes bigger than themselves. 💙
As we continue celebrating 125 years of SCS, we`re throwing it back to 2005, when our community laced up for the Walk or Run a Block event marking the 25th anniversary of Terry Fox`s Marathon of Hope.
Despite the rainy weather, SCS students and staff completed an incredible 705 laps (both outside and in the gym), covering more than 305 miles, and raised over $1,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation.
Twenty years later, one thing hasn`t changed: rain or shine, Clementines always show up. #SCS125
Clementines and staff ran and walked for Terry Fox this morning at Eglinton Park! It was an incredible community event filled with spirit, smiles, and a blaze of House colours in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. 🍁🌈
A big thank you to the Parents’ Association for helping everyone cool down with delicious freezies after the run.

We wish our Jewish community members a very blessed and meaningful Yom Kippur. G’mar chatima tova.
One of the things we love about our small Grades 1-12 community are the opportunities for connecting across the grades - like the Prefect introductions that happened over lunch this week! There were games in the Side Yard, bracelet making, and plenty of big smiles. 😊
As we celebrate 125 years of SCS, we`re revisiting the stories behind the traditions that have shaped generations of Clementines.
In 1948, graduating prefects set out to find a special uniform item that would distinguish members of their graduating class. Led by Isobel Ganton ’48, their search brought them to Simpsons department store, where they discovered the future Gold Belt in the last place anyone might expect: the curtain department. Yes, the iconic Gold Belt - originally called the Gold Cord - beloved, revered, and worn by SCS graduates for generations was originally a curtain tie!
Thanks to the creativity and determination of those students, a simple curtain tie became one of the most recognizable symbols in SCS history. Nearly 80 years later, the tradition is still going strong! #SCS125
