Teaching Girls to Dare Since 1891

Established in 1891, SMLS has been challenging young women to think expansively and engage fearlessly with a personalized, real-world learning experience that teaches them to see the future as a gift.

Anchored in a nurturing community of exceptionally committed educators and supportive peers, SMLS is where girls go to create the best version of themselves. This is the place where the new, the unfamiliar, even the seemingly impossible, becomes I got this.

Academic Excellence

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. We focus on the social, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing of every girl from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 and work with each girl to ensure she is known, supported and challenged to be her best self.

Unique Signature Programming

Experiential learning is a key component to an SMLS education. Our five Signature Programs in Global Citizenship, STEM and Robotics, Active Healthy Living, Arts and Design, plus a Professional Internship program are all specifically designed to give students opportunities to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world challenges.

Expert in Girls' Learning

Our faculty members are experts in their fields, with extensive experience 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.
