Qualitative insights

These insights are based on conversations with parents, alumni, and school leadership. Handpicked and curated by our editor, they offer a close look at how the school is experienced and perceived by those who know it best.


The school fosters independence and essential skills.

Observations from students, alumni, and parents indicate that the rigorous academic environment at St. Clement's School equips students with essential independent study skills and competencies, ensuring they are well-prepared to thrive in larger academic settings and beyond.

I think that when you’re at the school, it’s very easy to get stuck in the echo chamber of again, ‘Oh, I’m so oppressed, all of the teachers here give me so much work, and it’s all so dumb and silly.’ And then you go to university and you realize how much more prepared you are than everyone else, and you realize how great your teachers were compared to everyone else, based on the stories that you heard from your friends. It’s only after you leave—and you compare your experience to the experiences of other people who didn’t go to St. Clement’s—that you realize how lucky you were to actually have gone to St. Clement’s.
Being in university now, just the ability to learn, not even necessarily specific concepts or ideas, but my organizational skills and the way that I am able to do bibliographies and things like that. I think the academics really prepared me. I think St. Clement’s taught me a lot of important educational skills separate from even the knowledge itself. That really prepared me to be able to go into university and have that be a smooth transition.
St. Clement’s is very good at preparing you to be independent. I need to emphasize that. At university I went into this huge lecture hall where I was literally not allowed to email the professor to ask for help, for some reason but it wasn’t a problem for me because I already had all of these independent study skills, and I was assertive enough to ask for help from the TAs, which a lot of people were intimidated by. My St. Clement’s classmates and I already knew how to take good notes and I already knew how to write good papers. I already knew how to study. St. Clement’s hammers those skills in really hard from a pretty young age.

Students are guided to discover and pursue their passions.

Insights from parents reveal that the diverse opportunities and project work at St. Clement's School help students explore various interests, guiding them towards finding and pursuing their passions effectively.

I’m on a four-year full-ride scholarship, and St. Clement’s is basically the entire reason that I got that. It’s a combination of the opportunities that St. Clement’s gives you and the flexibility they create to allow you to pursue them.  They let me really build that repertoire of debating, public speaking, research.  So then the award came in and I was like, ’Well, this is a no-brainer. I should go to U of T because this is great’, and I don’t think that would have happened if it hadn’t been for all of the support that St. Clement’s gave me.
This school really is just a place where my daughter can thrive. In the last semester, she did some different project work. One of them was around architecture and integrating different things into that. I think she was on a path where she was going to go toward medicine, but that project made her pause. I love that because this is the time to discover those interests and those passions.
I have just one word to describe St. Clement’s, which is inspirational. I’m always amazed by what these girls go off and do after they leave, and while they’re there. It is truly phenomenal.

There's a focus on nurturing genuine connections and fostering personal growth.

Comments from former students underline that the sense of community and personal connections formed at St. Clement's School contribute significantly to their personal and academic development, reinforcing the school's supportive atmosphere.

When I went to university, a couple of people I knew had gone to St. Clement’s School. Knowing what school that they had gone to was huge in terms of deciding on St. Clement’s. I would describe them as super smart. They were highly successful. But they were just really genuine, down-to-earth people who I just felt comfortable around. We were very close, very good friends, and that had a very positive impact.
