Toronto schools ranked by admission rate

Which private schools are most difficult to get into?

Which Toronto private schools are the hardest to get into? The list below ranks schools based on the overall acceptance rate as reported by schools.

The admission rate is a narrow window into how good a school is. What's more, it doesn’t indicate how well your son or daughter will like the school and how well they’ll thrive in the school environment. Focusing on this or any other simplistic metric detracts from a focus on what's really important when choosing a school.
 
For parents applying to several schools, this offers a glimpse at how difficult it is to get into some schools. Bear in mind, of course that many great private schools in the city accept 100% of students who apply.
