St. Clement's School (SCS) is an Anglican independent all-girls school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The school was founded in 1901by rev. Canon Powell, and was originally co-ed. Students at SCS are often referred to as Clementines.

The school recently completed a new addition to the building, doubling the space for the students.

The school is a member of the Round Square affiliation of schools.

Notable alumni at St. Clement's school include Adrienne Arsenault, correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

House system

Houses at St. Clement's School are named after four Royal British houses: York (Yellow, Lion mascot), Stuart (Green, Frog mascot), Windsor (Purple, Walrus mascot) and Tudor (Red, Elephant mascot).

Each student is assigned to a house upon arrival at St. Clements. Siblings and daughters of St. Clement's alumnae are assigned to the same house. Students accumulate house points for participation in academic and extracurricular activities. At the end of the year, the house with the most points win the house cup. The house cup was won by Windsor in 2008.

Student leaders

St. Clement's is led by an elected Head Girl, Sports Captain, House Captain, Junior and Senior Prefects, House Heads, and Student Council. In addition, all members of the graduating class usually hold a leadership position organizing a club or aspect of student life.

The head girl, sports captain and house captain act as an internal and external liaison for the St. Clement's student body, CIS sports, and House System.

The prefects are each assigned a class from grade 1-9, and act as class prefects, visiting and befriending the girls. They perform humorous skits at assembly and are ambassadors for school spirit.

House heads lead monthly house meetings, field day, organize a house day/assembly where everyone dresses up in house colours.

The Student Council executive lead class presidents and vice presidents from grade 7 and up with school fundraising initiatives such as the annual Christmas Citrus sale.

Uniform

St Clement's has two uniforms- a summer uniform and a winter uniform. The summer uniform consists of a navy blue skirt, a white blouse, and a tie. The winter uniform consists of a navy blue tunic, a white blouse, and a tie. On special occasions(called Number One Dress Days) students are required to wear red blazers over top of their winter uniforms. Approximately once a month, there are "Mufti Days" where students are allowed to wear any clothes ( as long as they don't violate dress code eg. no bellybuttons showing) for 2 dollars. All proceeds go to certain charities.
