Curriculum & results

SMLS follows the Ontario curriculum and adds a selection of nine College Board Advanced Placement courses each year in the Senior School, giving students the chance to study at university level before graduating. Specialised pathways highlighted by the school include STEM and robotics, and the performing and visual arts.

Stages

The school is organised into three divisions. The Junior School runs from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 5, the Middle School covers Grades 6 to 8, and the Senior School takes girls through Grades 9 to 12 and on to university. Many students join in kindergarten and stay through to graduation.

Approach · General Curriculum

SMLS describes itself as a school designed for girls, founded on the conviction that women can and will lead. Its values include courage, meaning confidence, taking risks and persevering, and belonging, meaning a community that recognises and celebrates each member. It aims to engage every girl in personalised, real-world learning so that she develops as a woman of character and a global citizen.
