Our Grads are Going Places!
By David Huckvale
In what promises to be a new tradition, our graduates gathered on campus to watch the sunset before their last day of high school classes. While we will miss them dearly, we are excited that they are about to ride off into that sunset and start the next phase of their educational journey at wonderful colleges and universities across Canada and beyond.
In what promises to be a new tradition, our graduates gathered on campus to watch the sunset before their last day of high school classes. While we will miss them dearly, we are excited that they are about to ride off into that sunset and start the next phase of their educational journey at wonderful colleges and universities across Canada and beyond.
In total, 26 different institutions have made the list of destinations for our grads, including some traditional favorites and a few exciting new destinations.
Western University leads the charge for the third time in four years, with 15 of our best and brightest heading down the highway to London. McGill University is a close second, with nine students opting to study in Montreal. CDS will be represented from coast to coast in Canada, with students enrolling at Dalhousie, Victoria, UBC Vancouver, and UBC Okanagan. We have our first-ever grad heading to the University of Winnipeg.
Four intrepid grads are heading overseas, with three studying in England at Exeter, East London, and Lancashire, respectively. A fourth student is headed to France (CentraleSupélec) for the first two years of a joint program with McGill.
South of the border, interest grew this year, with eight students accepting offers from U.S. institutions. New York City and California stand out, with three students headed to the Big Apple (NYU [2] and Fordham) and two students joining the University of California system (San Diego and Irvine).
In yet another example of the balance we strive for at CDS, members of our Class of 2025 are pursuing a broad range of academic and professional disciplines. Broken into five major academic categories, this year’s graduates are split relatively evenly between the Life Sciences (26%) and Social Sciences (23%), with Business leading at 30%, followed by Physical Sciences & Engineering (18%) and Visual and Performing Arts (3%).
Some unique and interesting disciplines include Management Engineering, Journalism, New Media, Music, Sport and Exercise Science, Medicine and Surgery, Global Engineering, Community Design, and Creative Writing/English Language and Literature, to name just a few.
As they venture forth, we are confident they will continue to embody the spirit of CDS and make a meaningful impact on the world.
Land Acknowledgment
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.
