Families choosing a private school often want to understand more than where graduates were accepted. They want to see whether a school can support different academic interests, from business and engineering to science, liberal arts and creative programs. TAIE’s 2026 Graduate Report presents that wider picture through university offers, scholarships, destinations and discipline-level results.
According to TAIE’s 2026 Graduate Report, graduates received 328 university offers from institutions across more than 20 cities globally. The report also highlights CAD $2.218 million in entrance scholarships, showing the range of postsecondary opportunities represented by the graduating class.
Business: 105 offers, including Rotman Commerce and DeGroote
Business was the largest discipline category in the report, with 105 offers. The report names Rotman Commerce at the University of Toronto and the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University among the programs offering places to graduates.
For families interested in business, this section provides a useful starting point for conversations about mathematics, economics, communication, leadership and the difference between a general business degree and a specialized commerce program. Students can use these examples to identify universities and programs for further research while planning their secondary-school courses.
Engineering: 85 offers and strong technical destinations
The report records 85 Engineering offers, including offers from the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo. These destinations show the range of technical programs represented in the graduate results and provide families with concrete examples of institutions students may explore.
Engineering preparation often involves careful course planning, particularly in mathematics, physics, chemistry and other prerequisites. Families can use the report as a prompt to discuss the student’s interests, intended engineering field and the requirements of specific university programs.
TAIE’s university-preparation role is especially relevant here because students benefit from connecting secondary-school courses, grades, application timing and program research well before deadlines.
Science: 65 offers, led by the University of Toronto
Science accounted for 65 offers, including offers from the University of Toronto. The report places science alongside Business and Engineering as one of the major areas represented in the graduating class.
For students considering life sciences, biomedical study, environmental science or related fields, the figures can support an early conversation about subject interests and university options. TAIE’s public student profile also describes a graduate who participated in science extracurricular learning, showing how subject interests can connect with school activities and application preparation.
Families can begin with three questions: Which science field interests the student? Which courses support that direction? Which universities offer the right combination of program content, research, co-op or campus experience?
Liberal Arts: 38 offers and room for broad interests
The report includes 38 Liberal Arts offers. Liberal arts programs can appeal to students whose interests cross subjects such as history, political science, languages, psychology, sociology, communication and culture.
This category is a reminder that university preparation is not limited to one academic direction. Students may begin with a broad interest and refine their focus through electives, activities, university visits and conversations with counsellors.
Art & Design: 35 offers and portfolio-focused possibilities
The report lists 35 Art & Design offers, including destinations such as OCAD University and Emily Carr University of Art + Design. These programs often involve portfolios, creative development and subject-specific preparation alongside academic requirements.
Families considering art and design should look at how a school supports portfolio development, creative practice and application planning. The report gives them a clear group of institutions and programs to explore, while TAIE’s university-preparation and counselling services can help students plan their next steps.
What the report means for families choosing a school
The report’s value is its breadth. It shows Business, Engineering, Science, Liberal Arts and Art & Design outcomes in one view, helping families see that university planning can support different goals and learning styles.
Families should look for a school that helps students move from interest to preparation: identifying possible fields, choosing relevant courses, understanding prerequisites, exploring universities and preparing applications. TAIE International Institute positions its academic programs, counselling and pathway relationships around that process.
TAIE’s 2026 Graduate Report presents a broad picture of graduate activity and university opportunity. For students and families, it is a useful starting point for exploring different academic directions and planning the school experience that supports them.
