What do you do differently and uniquely well?
THE BISHOP STRACHAN SCHOOL
"The Signature of a BSS Girl is a set of seven personal attributes that are nurtured and taught- a growth mindset, ethical citizenship, curiosity, self-awareness, grit, voice and leadership. Backed by intensive research on girls’ psychology, wellness, character development, and leadership models, we believe these attributes help each student realize their full potential. From academics to sports, music, leadership and service, our program is designed to encourage girls explore their interests."

"Financial assistance is a cornerstone of our commitment to providing inclusive and accessible education. It ensures that more girls can develop their voice, curiosity and leadership skills. During the 2021/22 school year, we awarded over $2 million in financial assistance to 75 families, making BSS the school with the highest amount available of any girl's school in Canada. Our goal is to ensure that cost is not a barrier for exceptional students who want to access a BSS education."
