Although they will be Cyclones forever, we are excited that our grads are about to become Mustangs, Bobcats, Beavers, Hawks, Knights and Thunderbirds at wonderful colleges and universities across Canada and beyond.
In total, 28 different institutions have made the list of destinations for our GYs, including some traditional favorites and a few first-timers.
For the second year in a row, Western University leads the charge with 17 of our best and brightest heading down the highway to London, including 4 students with Ivey School of Business offers. Queen's University, Guelph University, Wilfrid Laurier University, University of Toronto, and the University of Waterloo round out the top six. We are represented from coast-to-coast with students enrolling at Acadia and Dalhousie and UBC. We have our first ever grad heading to the University of Manitoba.
We have 3 students immediately heading to the U.S. at NYU, the Berklee College of Music and newcomer Babson College. In addition, we have two future D1 NCAA athletes who have committed to US schools for September 2024.
Heading overseas, 2 students will be studying at Herstmonceux Castle, in East Sussex, England in the Queen’s University Bader College first-year program. They will literally be studying in a castle.
In what over the years continues to be an example of the balance that we strive for here at CDS, there is once again a broad range of disciplines being pursued by our grads. Broken into the three major academic categories, this year’s GYs are split evenly between the Life and Physical Sciences, Business, and the Humanities and Social Science. Some unique and interesting disciplines include: Architectural Science, Entrepreneurship, Club and Golf Management, Graphic Design, Biomedical Toxicology, Management Engineering, and Acting.
We are extremely proud of this group and will miss them dearly.
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
Founded in 1972, The Country Day School is a co-educational private school offering programs in JK-12 and located on 100 acres north of Toronto in King.
