To become unstoppable, a girl must first be set into motion. Strathcona is the catalyst of this life-shaping momentum, ensuring each girl discovers a trajectory as unique and full of potential as she is.

Upon their respective journeys, Strathcona girls break the stereotypes of an independent school education – and we’re proud of it. Action, meaning and fulfilment take precedence, and are aptly expressed in the school motto: “Bravely, Faithfully, Happily.”

Through a culture of academic excellence and a rich selection of co-curricular activities, girls grow and thrive. Strong, resilient, empowered - at Strathcona these are more than just words. We imbue our students with impetus tied to each girl’s uniqueness and personal ambitions.

As a student’s voice and identity emerge, so does her character. And it’s here that Strathcona truly sets itself apart. A Strathcona girl is balanced in mind, body and spirit. Her robust sense of self is founded upon respect, integrity, compassion, courage and genuine community spirit. Being ready for life is not about being the best – it’s about being her best.

In essence, Strathcona affords our students the opportunity to discover who they really are, and to pursue their life’s potential by being themselves.

Or, put another way: unstoppable girls begin at Strathcona.
