WHERE LEARNING IS THE
HEARTBEAT OF OUR CULTURE.
Strathcona is the catalyst of a life-shaping momentum, ensuring each girl discovers a trajectory as unique and full of potential as she is. In essence, Strathcona affords its girls 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.
Starting any school journey there is excitement, anticipation and sometimes a tiny element of apprehension. How will I find my way to class, where is the Canteen? Assembly? Drama? How do I find my way to the Pool? We understand this is part of the experience of starting a new school and our campuses are designed to take that worry away.
Strathcona campuses are generous and spacious. Designed for easy navigation and flow. Warm, welcoming spaces with heart and soul. Modern classrooms with connective corridors, enviable science laboratories, inspiring studios facilitating extracurricular activities and personal skills development, purpose-built sporting fields and areas for outdoor education, mindfulness, collaboration, recreation, and engagement of community. A Continual Online Learning Program that ensures students gain real-world experience of how to flourish in today’s dynamic higher learning and workplace environments that value a mix of on-site and remote contact as part of a more fulfilling approach.
