DISTINCT EXTRACURRICULAR FEATURES
What makes Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School’s extracurriculars distinct: established strengths and current initiatives
Exploration beyond the classroom is not "extra" at STS. It's essential.
We call these studies "co-curricular" rather than "extra-curricular". We believe our robust co-curricular program contributes to the poise and confidence of our students.
The program is also an important part of what creates strong connections between students, and with the faculty.
