Our academic program utilizes the highest standard of proven best practices and innovative approaches. We identify each girl’s academic strengths and challenges, so that we can support her in achieving success and confidence in her own abilities.
Whole-Girl Development
We focus on the social, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing of every girl from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12. We understand developmental stages of girls and work with each girl to ensure she is known, supported, and challenged to be her best self.
Experts in Girls' Learning
Our faculty members are experts in their fields, with extensive experience in teaching and learning designed for girls. They get to know each girl and form a personalized connection to help her thrive in her education at SMLS and beyond.

Our program integrates academic studies with relevant career and life experiences, allowing students to gain a deeper personal understanding of the world around them and to develop as global citizens and leaders.
Real World Results
With admittance to their first choice of post-secondary institutions, our grads are poised to

On Sunday December 4th, over 400 members of our SMLS community joined together for A Millie Christmas and a jolly good time was had by all! The day included a pancake breakfast with Santa, musical performances by our very own SMLS students, the Kris Kringle shop, a photobooth with holiday-themed props, our much beloved Reindeer Games, our Millie Marketplace featuring Canadian artisan vendors, a fabulous home goods bake sale and hot chocolate station, and more!
The SMLS Parent Association, the SMLS Alumnae Association, and the SMLS Advancement Office, came together and worked hard to bring back this Millie-favourite tradition. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported SMLS, and made this event such a success.
As a celebration of leadership, SMLS Head of School, Ms. Richards hosted our Prefect team to an afternoon tea. It was a chance to connect, chat about what it takes to be a good leader, to celebrate hard work, and to have a little fun too!
Thanks to our SMLS Parent Association, our Middle School Students and some of their special loved ones had a great time roller skating at their fall event.
Once again, SMLS students, their families, faculty and staff, and members of our Board of Governors gathered together at St. Jude's Anglican Church for our annual Lessons and Carols service. We are a school that welcomes all faiths and backgrounds and find ways, like this Christmas event, to honour our Anglican roots.

"SMLS prepares students to succeed in their post-secondary experiences and life beyond the pillars, through academic challenges such as AP courses, support such as extra help lessons and, most importantly, talented and dedicated teachers and the peers who surround you. I feel excited for what the future holds.”
