A MESSAGE FROM
THE PRINCIPAL
What are your dreams?
Where will you be in 20 years?
How will you measure success ?
These are the questions that fascinate us, that focus
us, and that drive us to ensure that the Appleby College
education speaks directly to our mission: enabling
men and women to become leaders of character—
major contributors to their local, national and
international communities.

12 Appleby’s Footprint on
the World
As a parent, there is nothing I want more than for
my children to live lives of purpose, to recognize and
reach their potential. Just as it is for my own children,
the formula for how you unlock the potential of every
young man and woman is its own unique blend of
support, motivation, challenge, and connection. At
Appleby, we believe this includes a broad range of
opportunities and engaging experiences that blend
academic excellence, athletic achievement and creative
expression, with leadership opportunities both inside
and outside the classroom. Just as important, we ask
our students to explore the meaning of character, of
spirituality, and notions of citizenship, both in Canada
and internationally. We believe that this is an essential
foundation for a successful and rewarding life. An
Appleby education serves both today and tomorrow.
As a newcomer to Appleby, I was initially struck by the
beauty of the campuses in Oakville and Temagami.
As I have gotten to know the school better, I have
come to appreciate what is even more important
and impressive about Appleby, and that is the
sense of community— a hallmark of which is the
unique day/boarding blend. I am impressed by the
contagious enthusiasm with which recent graduates
and their families talk about their time at Appleby, how
well prepared they were for university, and how they
have a family of Appleby brothers and sisters that will
always be a part of their lives. Most of all, they describe
how their Appleby College experience has inspired them
to pursue their own dreams and to live their lives with
meaning and purpose.
I hope you are fascinated by what you read about Appleby
on the following pages. If you have questions about any
aspect of life at Appleby or simply want to learn more about
us, please contact me at [email protected] or
905-845-4681 ext. 330.
I look forward to welcoming you!

I am today. With such great opportunities at Appleby, I have further advanced
my academic, social, leadership and athletic skills during the course of my two
years at the school.
