Appleby College

About Appleby College

Appleby College is an independent co-educational day and boarding school on the shores of Lake Ontario in Oakville, Ontario, about thirty minutes west of downtown Toronto. Founded in 1911, it serves Middle School and Upper School students in Grades 7 through 12. Day pupils and boarders share classrooms, athletics, arts and house activities, creating a residential learning community that welcomes both Canadian and international families.

Academically, Appleby offers a university-preparatory pathway designed for applications to Canadian, U.S. and other overseas universities. Students study across the humanities, sciences, mathematics and languages, supported by advising and university counselling for course planning and applications. Beyond academics, boarding houses, co-curricular clubs, outdoor programmes and service projects shape daily life. Prospective families should tour campus or join virtual information sessions, review boarding expectations carefully, and prepare school reports and recommendations as requested in the applicant checklist.

The school address is 540 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville, Ontario L6K 3P1. Admissions can be reached at admissions@appleby.on.ca or +1 905-845-4681 (extension 188). Application fees, annual tuition, boarding charges and one-time enrolment fees differ for day versus boarding students and for domestic versus international families. Fee schedules change every year, so download the current official fee sheet and admissions checklist from appleby.on.ca. Confirm deadlines, required documents, visit dates and payment plan options directly with the admissions office before you apply or budget for relocation. Families comparing Ontario independent schools should also ask about house placement for boarders, weekend leave policies, ESL or learning-support availability, and how university counselling works for U.S. versus Canadian applications. Keep copies of transcripts ready for the applicant checklist.
