Founded in 1911, we offer a co-educational learning environment for students in grades 7 to 12 on a 60-acre lakefront campus here in Oakville. Appleby's 750 students are encouraged to discover and embrace their passions, whether in the classroom, on the stage, in the gym or on an international service project. Recognized for our commitment to global responsibility and education, our curriculum, with a strong focus on experiential learning, languages, global issues and international service programmes, creates a unique learning environment that promotes global awareness. Appleby is the first day/ boarding school in North America to offer an integrated global education programme which culminates in the achievement of the Appleby College Diploma with Distinction in Global Leadership. Experiential education is a hallmark of the Appleby experience. Beginning in grade 7, students participate in the Learning Explorations Assessment Foundations (LEAF) programme, replacing traditional written exams with an experiential learning experience that gets the students outside of the classroom cant commitment and we believe financial need should never prevent a student from reaching their full potential. "The cost of attending Appleby is more than a lot of people can afford," said Andreas Zbogar '14, who attended Appleby from grades 9 through 12 and is currently studying Engineering at McMaster University. "In fact, the only reason I was able to study at Appleby was because of the financial assistance I was given by the school, and I knew many other students in the same situation." Appleby's Financial Assistance programme is designed to ensure that students can pursue an outstanding education, and provides over $3 million in bursaries, loans and scholarships annually. This includes the Sir Edmund Walker Scholarship Programme, which awards up to ten one-time $10,000 scholarships to incoming students who demonstrate exceptional leadership skills, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Students also participate in Appleby's Outdoor Education programme at the McLaughlin Northern Campus in Temagami. Vital life skills such as self-confidence, understanding relationships, personal growth and a dedicated responsibility toward local and global communities are developed while enjoying the great outdoors. One of the many unique aspects of Appleby is our grade 12 boarding requirement, providing an opportunity for our students to gain a greater appreciation of different perspectives and cultures, while developing the responsibility and skills to assist with transitioning from high school to university. More than 95 per cent of Appleby graduates are accepted into their university of choice, including some of Canada's and the world's most recognized institutions such as Queen's, Western, McGill, Yale and Princeton.
