University Placement

Choosing the right fit for a post-secondary experience can be an overwhelming task. Brentwood is renowned for its exceptional record of quality placements. Our expertise allows us to provide premium service and support to our students in all stages of their planning for university studies. Whether they look to options in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, or elsewhere, students have all the resources they will ever need—all in one place, through our University Counselling Office.

Our Process

The university counselling process becomes formalized at the end of Grade 10—when guidance begins on course selection for the Grade 11 year. In grades 11 and 12, individual Advisors work in tandem with our University Counselling Team to ensure that each student understands the many options available to them. Parents are involved throughout this process and are encouraged to participate in the development of the list of potential post-secondary choices.

There are also opportunities to travel and visit university campuses during the school year—typically over the fall midterm break in early November.

University Acceptances 2024

Members of the Centenary Graduating Class plan to attend 73 different schools in six Canadian provinces, 13 American states, and 11 countries.

While two-thirds of them will remain in Canada to pursue their studies, one in six will matriculate to schools in the United States, and an equal number will venture elsewhere around the globe.

Thirty-five per cent will pursue studies in STEM fields, 27% in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, and 23% in business. The rest will enter studies in various fields, including fine arts, law, education, performing arts, medicine, nursing, aviation, and the trades.

Nearly 800 offers of admission were received from just shy of 200 institutions in 13 different countries around the world at an acceptance rate of 70%.

Sixty-three per cent of students received a scholarship offer from at least one of the universities to which they applied. They accumulated scholarship award offers in excess of $7 million.
