On Day 1 of our Global Forum, the St. Clement's School chamber choir performed “O Sister.”

Composed by Kathleen Allan of Canada, the music is inspired by Maya Angelou’s poetry. The song was created in collaboration with the University of Minnesota Women’s Chorus and the Voices of Hope women’s prison choir in Shakopee, MN.

The lyrics serve as a poignant reminder of the power of sisterhood, community, and global connection.

"It’s an inspiring, open, supportive environment for young women growing up." 🌟

We couldn't have said it better! When we listen to our students, it reminds us of the incredible impact a dedicated girls' school environment has on their confidence, their learning styles, and their leadership skills.

This commitment to student success is what drives the upcoming 2026 ICGS Global Forum on Girls’ Education. We are inviting educators from across the globe to Toronto to collaborate on the future of girls' education, ensuring we continue to build the supportive communities these students are talking about.
