Best wishes for a successful first year as part of the Appleby community, Andy Jelinek Director, Parent Relations 1 Appleby College Community Covenant For over a century Appleby College has flourished as a community of learning in which each and every member (including students, employees, and parents) is expected to act in ways which advance the mission of the College to educate and enable young men and women to become leaders of character. The enduring strength of the Appleby College community derives from four core ethical values: respect, responsibility, integrity and compassion. Taken together, these embody what it means to be a member of the Appleby College community. Each day through our individual words and actions we strive to uphold these core ethical values, and thereby forge a community which fully reflects these values. At the same time, we recognize that actions which are not consistent with these values erode our sense of community and adversely affect our mission. Core Ethical Values: Respect In all of our words and actions, we demonstrate respect for ourselves and for one another. We act with courtesy and consideration towards all. We are respectful of the physical environment in which we live and learn. As members of a universally diverse community, we respect each other’s differences and work together to build an inclusive learning community. Responsibility We take responsibility for our actions without excuses and hold both ourselves and others accountable to the highest ethical standards. We are committed to academic excellence, civic responsibility and environmental stewardship. Integrity In pursuing the highest standards of excellence and in all of our words and actions we are open and honest, acting towards others at all times with honour and integrity. Compassion We actively recognize the needs of others both within our Appleby College community and beyond it. We support and care for one another in order to sustain a community of compassion. As members of the Appleby College community we commit ourselves to uphold these values and to adhere to this Community Covenant. 2 Campus Map 3 Appleby College 2018-2019 School Year Dates School Begins Wednesday, September 5 to Sunday, September 9 New boarder orientation Friday, September 7, 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. New student orientation Saturday, September 8, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Boarders move in to residence Monday, September 10 at 8:00 a.m. Opening Day of School Thanksgiving Weekend Thursday, October 4 at 3:50 p.m. Classes End Monday, October 8 at 9:30 p.m. Boarders return to residence Tuesday, October 9 at 8:00 a.m. Classes Begin November Long Weekend Thursday, November 8 at 3:50 p.m. Classes End Monday, November 12 at 9:30 p.m. Boarders return to residence Tuesday, November 13 at 9:00 a.m. Classes Begin December Academic Wednesday, December 12 to Wednesday, December 19 (assessments end at Week 1:00 p.m., holiday travel should be booked to depart no earlier than Wednesday, December 19, 5:00 p.m. onwards) Winter Holiday Thursday, December 20, 2018 - Monday, January 7, 2019 School Resumes Monday, January 7 at 9:30 p.m. Boarders return to residence Tuesday, January 8 at 9:00 a.m. Classes Begin February Long Weekend Thursday, February 14 at 3:50 p.m. Classes End Monday, February 18 at 9:30 p.m. Boarders return to residence Tuesday, February 19 at 8:00 a.m. Classes Begin March Break Saturday, March 9 - Sunday, March 24 School Resumes Monday, March 25 at 9:30 p.m. Boarders return to residence Tuesday, March 26 at 8:00 a.m. Classes Begin Spring Weekend Thursday, April 18 at 3:50 p.m. Classes End Monday, April 22 at 9:30 p.m. Boarders return to residence Tuesday, April 23 at 8:00 a.m. Classes Begin May Long Weekend Thursday, May 16 at 3:50 p.m. Classes End Monday, May 20 at 9:30 p.m. Boarders return to residence Tuesday, May 21 at 8:00 a.m. Classes Begin June Exam Period Monday, June 10 through Tuesday, June 18 (students should expect to write exams on Saturday, June 15) Closing Day Ceremony Friday, June 21 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (mandatory school attendance for all students) 4 Save the Dates Complete listing of dates and events can be found on the Appleby Calendar on [email protected].

  • A Closer Look at Appleby College
    A Closer Look at Appleby College PLANT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Appleby College opened in 1911, thanks to the vision and generosity of our Founders Sir Edmund Walker and his son-in-law John Guest. Sir Edmund was a leading Canadian businessman and philanthropist who was passionate about education. Today’s Appleby College was shaped by his commitment to having a school that could make a great impact on society through its students. It was through his philanthropy that the initial 32-acre farm was purchased and the original School House (now Colley House) was built. The school has never stopped evolving. Since the gift of the original farm we have added a chapel, classrooms, boarding houses, and sports facilities. The land area of the campus has expanded through a number of acquisitions and in 1973 we were given land in Temagami. The Appleby College you see today is a testament to the generosity of our Founders, and to the generosity of generations of parents and alumni. A Closer Look at Appleby College We find many of our alumni, families and friends have questions about the structure and finances of Appleby College. This document seeks to answer some of these questions: WHO OWNS APPLEBY COLLEGE? Appleby College is not owned by any individual or entity. Appleby was incorporated in 1911 as a not-for-profit organization by an Act of the Province of Ontario and is a registered charitable organization. Appleby is governed by a volunteer Board composed of alumni, current and past parents and business and community leaders. Our Governors ensure that Appleby remains focused on its mission.

  • December, 2017 Dear Marvelwood Families, Marvelwood Is a Member
    December, 2017 Dear Marvelwood Families, Marvelwood is a member of Round Square, a worldwide network of 168 schools in 40 countries, all of ​ ​ ​ whom share a holistic approach to learning, built around six IDEALS (internationalism, democracy, environmentalism, adventure, leadership and service). Each year, Round Square schools send a team of delegates to an international conference. In 2016, four Marvelwood students- Guy Kennedy ‘18, Zohra Moradi ‘18, Sky Trapella ‘18 and Victoria Sanchez ‘18- attended the 2016 conference at Aiglon College in Switzerland. The theme of the conference, The Journey That Makes Us, highlighted the IDEALS through ​ ​ guest speakers, group discussions, cultural visits, community service and adventure activities. In 2017, two ​ student delegates- Belle Cameron ‘18 and Alex Sanchez ‘19- represented Marvelwood at the conference in South Africa, where the theme was Unite to Ignite the Fire Within. Both conferences were incredible ​ ​ experiences for our delegates, who represented our school with pride, maturity, and curiosity. The 2018 conference is being hosted by three Round Square schools in Canada: Lower Canada College, Appleby College, and Ashbury College. We have been assigned to Ashbury College in Ottawa. The ​ ​ tentative dates for the trip are September 26-October 3. The the all-inclusive cost will be approximately ​ $1,900 per student; some scholarship is available. Interested students will be asked to fill out an application and sit for an interview in January. Students who applied last year need only sit for an interview. Please let me know if you would like your child to apply. Any student who will be age 16-19 in 2018 is eligible.
