Collectively, our 81 members of the Class of 2023 received admission offers to some of the top universities across Canada, the U.S. and the world and 89% percent graduated as Ontario Scholars.

In yet another example of the balance that we strive for here at CDS, there is a broad range of disciplines being pursued by this group of grads. The Life and Physical Sciences, including Engineering degrees lead the way having been selected by 40% of our grads, with Humanities and Social Sciences programs a close second with 30%. Business study is always popular and 23% of our grads will be pursuing commerce or management. In addition, we have two future D1 NCAA athletes who have committed to play hockey and soccer in the U.S. for September 2024 at Providence College and Brown University.

Some unique and interesting disciplines this year include:  Architectural Science, Entrepreneurship, Club and Golf Management, Graphic Design, Biomedical Toxicology, Management Engineering, and Acting. On the Commerce front, CDS students have accepted offers from Rotman - UofT, Ivey - Western, Desautels - McGill, Sauder- UBC, Lazaridis – Laurier, and the Smith School at Queen’s, among other top schools.

At the beginning of each school year, the Office of Admission and University Placement takes Graduating Year (GY) students to the Ontario and Quebec universities for campus visits.

The eastern tour stops at Queen’s, McGill, Concordia, Ottawa and Carleton University, while the westbound trip toured Western, Laurier, Waterloo, Guelph and McMaster. This annual excursion is a great kickoff to a hectic year of research, applications and decisions for our Grade 12 students. Both trips expose students to campuses old and new, big and small, urban and suburban. Our students sit in lecture halls, eat in school cafeterias and generally soak in the environment of the universities and towns we visit. An added feature of the trip is the opportunity to connect with our alumni currently studying at these destination universities.
