St. Clement's School

It's different here at St. Clement's School. There's something special going on, a kind of energy filled with curiosity and courage. It's the way our students approach things, from learning to discovery to play. It's the way we teach - more than just the requisite skills, the ability to think deeply, critically, creatively, and become more self aware. We fundamentally believe each student is unique, and should be known and valued as such; and that if they are to develop and thrive, learning should be as unique as they are. As a leading independent girls' school with over 120 years of history in Toronto, St. Clement's School is recognized for its longstanding commitment to academic rigour and excellence in a small, nurturing environment. We're a close-knit community that celebrates creativity, diversity, and innovation, where our 460 students from Grades 1 to 12 live, learn, and grow together under one roof. Our Vision At St. Clement's School, we are evolving and redefining what it means to really learn and thrive in a world where the only certainty is change. We don't just want our students to thrive, we want them to boldly thrive - to see disruption as opportunity and possibility, to seize change with agility and imagination, to tackle the complex world of tomorrow with confidence and character. Our commitment to excellence in learning means being in tune with the world around us, and always looking ahead. In today's changing, complicated, and ever-more-connected world, our students can be successful in learning and in life only if they are able to think critically, be creative, make connections across subject areas, wrestle with complex issues and problems, and collaborate with many people of differing views. The St. Clement's experience supports and encourages this learning, preparing our students for the future.
