PrivateEducation Advertorial Appleby College's commitment to glob- al and experiential education continues to lead the way in preparing students to be tomorrow's leaders. Since the coeducational day/boarding school's founding in 1911, Appleby has challenged its students to develop a broad breadth of capabilities across a wide range of activities both inside and outside of the classroom. It was the vision of the school's co-founder, Sir Edmund Walker, for Appleby to "produce among its most outstanding youngsters, potential leaders for the nation, who aspired for more than money, who understood their duty to serve and the importance of the world beyond Canada." That vision is as true today as it was more than 100 years ago.

In 2011, Appleby introduced the Appleby College Diploma with Distinction in Global Leadership, the first truly integrated glob- al education program offered by a North American boarding school. Last year, Ap- pleby reinforced its commitment to global and experiential learning by announcing the inclusion of a global learning experi- ence as a core requirement of the Apple- by College Diploma. "The world is becoming increasingly global and we are a fully global commu- nity at Appleby," shared Katrina Samson, Head of School. "Today, every Appleby student has the opportunity to develop cultural competencies in a global context, so that when they go out in the world and work alongside other individuals they are able to understand the political, social and economic influences that impact de- cisions."
