Summary: Boarding is an integral part of Appleby College's curriculum. The Residential Life Program's mission is to promote and provide for boarders' academic, social, cultural and personal growth within a safe and inclusive residential community. Central to this mission is the development of mutual understanding, respect and responsibility. Our boarding community is comprised of more than 270 students from over 45 different nationalities and countries, and as such the Residential Life curriculum seeks to promote understanding across different linguistic, cultural, religious, racial, ethnic and national backgrounds.

Appleby’s Residential Life Curriculum is the guided, lived experience of our local and international boarders who live on campus for 5 to 7 days a week during the school year in one of our four boarding houses: Baillie House, Colley House, Powell’s House or Walker House. Through a variety of formal and informal instructional and residential life strategies, and through a variety of forums and in a variety of formats, boarders develop vital personal, moral, social and educational knowledge, skills and values. After the student’s boarding experience, he or she is very well equipped and positioned to make a successful transition to university life.

Summary: From the Middle School musical to the numerous arts options available for Senior students, Appleby presents students with opportunities to excel in dance, drama, music, visual arts and the liberal arts. Middle School students are exposed to Appleby’s arts programs through the academic curriculum with required involvement in visual arts and music. Arts offerings expand in the Upper and Senior Schools. Upper School students are required to participate in at least one arts club and Senior students must take at least one reporting period of arts or service.

Appleby teams have a long history of success and Senior students may compete at a high level in both independent school and local leagues. Leadership becomes an essential aspect of being a part of the team, and athletes are recognized for outstanding performance, diligence, commitment, leadership and being role models. Competitive teams compete in the CISAA (Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association) and OFSAA (Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association).

Whether through competitive teams or instructional sports, participation in athletics is a key component of the Appleby program. Athletics develops physical fitness, athletic skills, school pride, teamwork and a sense of fair play. Students participate in age- and skill-appropriate activities and enjoy access to quality facilities and programs. Beginning in Middle School, students are exposed to a wide variety of activities, giving them an opportunity to try new sports. In Upper and Senior School, students continue to develop sport-specific skills and work towards representing Appleby at the Senior level.

Summary: At Appleby College we understand the importance of preparing our students to take on the responsibilities of global citizenship. Our world has changed dramatically over the past quarter century. These changes not only affect the way we think, but more importantly, the way we interact – increasing the level of interdependence between people, cultures and nations.

In preparing our students for success in this increasingly globalized world, we must ensure that they possess the vision, courage and empathy to confront the challenges and opportunities of global citizenship, whether social, economic, moral or cultural. The Appleby College Diploma with Distinction in Global Leadership was created to inspire our current and future students to do just that. The curriculum we have developed will open our students’ minds, inspiring them to explore beyond their current communities by weaving global perspectives into every subject and introducing real-world experiences and interactions into academic, co-curricular and experiential programs.
