St. Clement's School (SCS) is an Anglican independent school for girls in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The school was founded in 1901 by Canon Thomas Wesley Powell, Rector of St. Clement's Church, and was originally co-ed, but switched to being all-girls after the First World War. Students at SCS are often referred to as Clementines.

In 2006, the school completed a new addition to the building which doubled the size of the school: the addition was funded by the Bigger Blazer Campaign. The renovation included a new gym, performance hall, library and many other improvements.

The school is a member of the Round Square affiliation of schools, and it offers the most Advanced Placement courses of any girls' school in Canada.[1]

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). The House Cup is awarded to the house that has the most points at the end of the school year.
