The big picture on Appleby College
We wrote a book reviewing the school
The 50-page review of Appleby College is part of our series of in-depth accounts of Canada's leading private schools. It provides a unique and objective perspective on the school's academics, programs, culture, and community.
"Founded in 1911 and located on a picturesque 60-acre campus in Oakville, Ontario, Appleby College is a university preparatory, coeducational day/boarding school for students in Grades 7–12. At Appleby, we believe every student deserves an opportunity to pursue an education that excites and challenges them. An education that offers them the chance to discover and embrace their passions both inside and outside of the classroom. Hallmarks of the Appleby experience include our Grade 12 boarding programme; our extensive athletics, arts, service and clubs; our emphasis on global learning and cultural understanding with participation in a global learning experience as a core requirement of the Appleby College Diploma; our commitment to financial assistance with over $5.3 million in bursaries, loans and scholarships annually; and our experiential learning programme centred around the S. Bruce McLaughlin Northern Campus in Temagami which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary. This coming school year we will be introducing three new diploma specializations in Business, S.T.E.M., and the Creative Arts to complement the existing Global Leadership and AP Capstone programmes. To learn more about Appleby please visit us at www.appleby.on.ca. To arrange a tour, please contact Sophie Grossman, Executive Director, Admissions at sgrossman@appleby.on.ca."
