Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School is a private school in Okotoks, Alberta, just outside of Calgary. It has students in grades 1 to 12. Its grade 12 provincial exam scores are consistently some of the best in the province, along with Old Scona of Edmonton. Strathcona-Tweedsmuir also ranks high in the IB system.

The school opened in September 1971 as the result of the amalgamation of two of Calgary’s oldest independent schools - Strathcona School for Boys (founded 1929) and Tweedsmuir: An Academic School for Girls (founded 1959). St. Hilda’s School preceded Tweedsmuir School for Girls (1905-1949).
