Grade 1 Hosts Authors Cafe
Did you know that the girls in JS1 are experts on living things? Over the past month, JS1 girls have become skilled readers of information books as they learned how to structure this kind of writing themselves. After selecting a living thing as a focus, girls wrote with their reader in mind -- anticipating questions that readers will have -- to answer those questions through words and pictures. They researched to add to their knowledge, learned more about the craft of writing through the use of techniques such as comparison and elaboration, and used an informational writing checklist as a tool for revision, editing, and organization. Here they are celebrating their published non-fiction texts at our community Authors Café!Read More -
Professional Internship Goes Virtual!
Every girl in Grade 11 participates in the SMLS Professional Internship program, completing a four-week co-op in an industry or profession that is of particular interest to her. It is hands-on, real world learning at its best! This year, the program has gone virtual with innovative remote work placements for each student. The placements are as varied and unique as our Millies! Below we can see students working with team members from Envoys as they learn to use Wordpress for website design.Read More -
Middle School Visits the Seven Continents
Our Middle School girls recently “travelled” around the globe, to all seven continents, as they completed their Junior Duke Far Adventure presentations. Students focused their research on understanding the nuances and unique aspects of their location. One of the goals was for girls to avoid being tourists and to embrace a deeper appreciation in their adventure, learning more about their roles as global citizens. Areas of their research included: flora and fauna, logistics, costs, food, physical activities, skills and service. Teachers and staff were very impressed with the energy, creativity and thought that went into these projects!Read More -

We can’t wait to see their final product!Read More -

Arts & Design Signature Program: Music Class at Home...
Musicians love to improvise and create music in new settings! Without many of our musical instruments from the classroom, we have improvised by taking stock of musical instruments that students have in their homes. We are working on class music recordings and videos featuring everyone performing from home. Full class performances will be shared with the SMLS community when finished!Read More
