Nearly half of these Xiehe graduates were admitted to the University of Toronto, Canada’s top university, a successful admission rate that the school has maintained for the third year in a row! This fact illustrates the consistency of academic excellence at Xiehe’s Jiaoke Campus as well as the university’s acknowledgement of the ability and adaptability of Xiehe students.

As the competition for university places grows ever more intense, Xiehe’s schools have done remarkably well by achieving a steady increase in our university admission rates. We are also very proud of the fact that each year’s admissions include a balanced mix between the arts and sciences, regardless of the type of college, country, or choice of major. Every year, many of our students go on to study majors from traditional disciplines such as STEM, humanities and the social sciences, business, and psychology; yet, there has also been no lack of offers for our graduates for niche, specialist majors such as music, sports, film, aviation, immunology, and fine art.
In addition to seeing a steady increase in our students’ exam score results, the number of high ranking university offers and scholarship funds received, it is truly gratifying to see that many Xiehe students are making their university choices based on their own passions, choosing not to be influenced by mainstream views on university majors/courses of study. We are proud of our students for prioritizing their academic and professional aspirations over their chosen school’s overall ranking. The main goal for students is to find a school and major/course of study that truly suits them and to make sure they are fully prepared for this first major step in life.
To our graduating students:
Your universities will be so blessed by gaining you as their freshmen, and we are confident that you will make your universities proud just as we have been so proud to have you as a member of our Xiehe family!
