What people say about the Admissions

Small community and close connections

Feedback from students and parents suggests that the smaller size of St. Clement’s facilitates the formation of close-knit relationships, allowing students to feel more connected and supported within the community.

When we went on a tour of St. Clement’s, that’s when I realized that I really like the school as the school, and not just because my mom went to it. I really liked that it was a bit of a smaller community. I didn’t want to feel like I was just like one person in a massive school, so I really liked that it was smaller. I wanted to be able to form close connections with people. Our grades were a bit smaller and I was able to form really close connections with a lot of my classmates.

—Carmen Chong, parent (see full discussion)

Emphasis on intellectual curiosity

From discussions with administrators and students, it is evident that a defining trait of St. Clement’s students is their intellectual curiosity, which is fostered by the school's supportive learning environment.

There’s no typical Clementine—we call our girls ‘Clementines,’ or actually they’ve coined that phrase. We have girls who are really gregarious and totally into the spirit, and girls who are quite shy and maybe quieter. Curiosity is part of our mission statement. ‘We develop outstanding women who are intellectually curious, courageous and compassionate.’ For me, it’s curiosity to learn more that defines our students. They may not even know they have it, but in the admissions process, you kind of get that inkling that they’re looking for more.

—Martha Perry, Principal (see full interview)

Proactive and ambitious students

Insights from alumni and parents reflect that St. Clement’s nurtures students who exhibit a proactive approach, taking full advantage of the school's abundant resources and opportunities to excel.

Pretty much every single student at St. Clement’s works hard, in the sense that I can probably count on one hand the number of students I remember that didn’t try really, really hard and push really hard to obtain whatever it was that they wanted to obtain. I think that, with the environment, and the types of students that tend to get accepted into St. Clement’s, they are the types of students that do have that grit when it comes to pushing for the things that they want.

—Julie Midroni, alum (see full interview)

I would say enrol at the school if you have a lot of things that you are interested in, if you are a proactive person and you have the ability to take advantage of the things that St. Clement’s offers. You could theoretically go to St. Clement’s and just attend class and go home every day, and that would be it—that’s a waste. If you, however, are incredibly proactive and you want to go to a school that gives you the opportunity to, I don’t know, maybe start something or participate in a bunch of different things, or there’s something that you really excel at and you want the flexibility to excel at that—go with St. Clement’s. There’s so many resources and they’re so supportive. If you can take advantage of St. Clement’s, the institution, you should go there.
