'''Claude Dupuy''' (1545 — 1594), a Parisian jurist, humanist and bibliophile, was a leading figure in the circle of French legal humanists and historians that gathered around [[Jacques Cujas]] and [[Jacques-Auguste de Thou]]. Dupuy (''Putealus'') assembled a great library<ref>It was inventoried by Denis Duval in 1595 (Jérôme Delatour, ''Les livres de Claude Dupuy.

'''Appleby College''' is a [[private school]] (grades 7-12) located in [[Oakville, Ontario]], [[Canada]], founded in [[1911]] by John Guest, a former Headmaster of the Preparatory School at [[Upper Canada College]]. Guest dreamed of establishing a small boarding school in the country, and did so with the support and financial assistance of Sir Edmund Walker, a prominent Canadian businessman and patron of the arts. Today, Appleby is a co-educational day and boarding [[university-preparatory school]], with a curriculum based around the liberal arts. It is situated on scenic [[Lake Ontario]] in Oakville, [[Ontario]] roughly 50 kilometres west of downtown [[Toronto]]. Students are drawn primarliy from Oakville, [[Burlington, Ontario|Burlington]] and [[Mississauga]], but also from other parts of Canada and throughout the world. Appleby is a member of the [[Round Square|International Round Square Organisation]] and the [[CISAA]].
==Academic Program==
Emphasis is placed on Academics, Arts, Athletics and Service in order to encourage well-roundedness in young people. Appleby has coined the term 'e-school,' and utilizes up to date technology, including laptops (IBM Thinkpad R51) and projectors in every classroom, in all aspects of Appleby life. Appleby was the 2nd school in North America to fully utilize laptops and other technology in every angle of the school, after [[Cincinnati Country Day School]]. Laptops are supplied to all Appleby students by the school and each classroom as well as each boarding room and classroom is equipped with internet ports and power outlets. A large portion of the assignments are done on the computer and subsequently printed or emailed to the teacher.
==Campus==
Appleby is ranked by the [[Canadian Educational Standards Institute]] as one of the most prestigious schools in Canada and features spacious grounds. The school consists of a main classroom building, dining hall, arena, five playing fields, three tennis courts, three squash courts, a gynmasium, swimming pool, four boarding houses and a traditional ([[Anglican]]-based) [[Non-Denominational]] chapel named the John Bell Chapel, designed to resemble [[Westminster Abbey]] in London. The chapel houses the first ever Inuit-designed stained glass window, created on commission by [[Kenojuak Ashevak]], O.C. As well, the south boundary of the campus runs along the shores of [[Lake Ontario]], and a creek runs through the west side of campus, bordered by playing fields and a small forest.
==Boarding==
As well as being a day school, boarding is offered from Grades 9 though 12 and there are numerous international students from over 20 countries attending Appleby. When the school first opened in 1911, boarding was mandatory. Over time as the [[Greater Toronto Area]] grew, Appleby became less of a "school in the country" as originally envisioned by John Guest, and more of a mixed day and boarding school in the suburbs. Fewer than half of the students now board. However, in keeping with a tradition that has been maintained since 1911, all students in their "Senior 2 Year" (Grade 12) are required to go into residence. Approximetly 200 students are currently in residence, the majority of whom are in Senior Year.
There are four houses in which Appleby's boarding students reside, and with whom the day students are affiliated: Baillie House; Walker House; Colley House; and Powell's House. Baillie House is a girls residence and named after a prominent family that has attended and supported Appleby for several generations. Walker House was one of three boys' residences before co-education and is now a girl's residence. It is named for the school's founder. Colley and Powell's remain boys' residences and are named for former Appleby Masters. T.B. Colley taught at Appleby for 35 years and was housemaster of School House, which was re-named in his honour in [[1949]]. Vernon Powell received the Military Cross and was killed in action during [[World War I]].
==Sports==
In addition to co-curricular activities and Northward Bound, each Appleby student is required to participate in the school's athletic program. Upper 1 and 2's must have three full terms of sport, and Senior 1 and 2's must have two. While the school is proud of its teams and strives for success, athletic achievement has never been considered to be an end unto itself at Appleby. Rather, the school requires participation in athletics in order to encourage physical fitness and to provide a well rounded education to its students.
Interscholastic competition is offered in soccer, field hockey, swimming, basketball, hockey, tennis and rugby, among others. Ironically, two of the longest standing and formerly most prominent Appleby team sports are no longer offered. [[Cricket]] was played since the school opened, and was discontinued in 1992. There was a movement within the student body to re-instate cricket as an instructional sport in the 2004-2005 year. [[Canadian Football|Football]] was also played since early in the school's history, and was discontinued in 2004. Appleby's greatest period of success in football was during the 1960's when the first team achieved a string of almost unbroken winning seasons. The best seasons were 1966 and 1967 when the team went undefeated in inter-scholstic play. The success of the 1967 team, in particular, who defeated not only Appleby's Old Boys in an exhibition game, but each of the first teams of the "Little Big Four" schools, [[Upper Canada College]], [[St. Andrew's College (Aurora, Ontario)|St. Andrew's College]], [[Ridley College]] and [[Trinity College School]], led to Appleby joining the [[CISAA]], where all of Appleby's different sports teams have competed since.
David Smith coached the first football team from 1957 to 1980. He was himself a former Appleby student and taught English and coached football at Appleby for a total of 34 years, retiring as a teacher in 1991. Mr. Smith passed away in 2005.
Appleby's first football team achieved its next and last undefeated season in 1985, under the coaching of alumnus Dave Singer. This was the school's only CISAA championship for first team football. The school had also fielded strong teams in the early 1980's, when former CFL star [[Jeff Fairholm]] played.
With the switch to a four-year high school program in 1987, Appleby struggled to field competitive football teams, eventually withdrawing from CISAA competition, and then discontinuing football altogether.
[[Soccer]] remains a popular fall sport for boys and girls. The boys first soccer team has also enjoyed considerable success in CISAA competition, winning consecutive CISAA championships in 1982 and 1983 under coach Colin Revill. Under the coaching of Tosh MacFarlane Appleby again won the CISAAA championship in 1986 and then three straight championships between 1990 and 1992.
Appleby enjoyed tremendous success in [[swimming]] in the 1970's, winning 4 out of a possible 5 CISAA first team championships between 1976 and 1980 under coach and long time Appleby geography teacher John Berriman. During this same period Appleby also won a number of championships for first team [[Squash (sport)|squash]], coached by the late Ned Larsen, Appleby's fourth headmaster.
[[Rugby union|Rugby]] has been a prominent spring sport since the early 1970s, and continues to be popular for both boys and girls. The school's period of greatest success for rugby was under the coaching of former physics teacher Jim Washington, who coached the first rugby team from 1970 to 1989, achieving a winning record every season during that period. The years between 1973 and 1985 were particularly dominant, with the first team going undefeated almost every year and winning 11 out of 13 CISAA championships. More recently, the first boy's team took first place against St. Andrews College in the 2005 season CAIS tournement held at [[Bishop's College School]] in Lennoxville Quebec.
Appleby has impressive sports facilities, including tennis and squash courts, a hockey arena, gymnasium, athletic therapy centre, a swimming pool and of course numerous outdoor fields including an artificial turf field.
==History==
*Originally called Appleby School when it opened in [[1911]], it was renamed Appleby College in [[1941]].
*Appleby marked its 50th anniversary in [[1961]] with a significant building expansion. A dining hall was built and named after John Guest, the first headmaster. A third boarding residence, "New House" was opened, later re-named Walker House after the school's founder.
*In [[1968]] the school Chapel was expanded to its present size and was named the John Bell Chapel in honour of the third headmaster, who also retired that year.
*In [[1971]] with enrollment rising, Appleby was split into a Junior and Senior School. Junior School consisted of grades 4 through 8. Previously the school had admitted boys as young as grade 1. Senior School consisted of grades 9 through 13.
*In [[1973]], Appleby introduced the innovative Northward Bound outdoor education program at the school's "Northern Campus" on Rabbitnose Island, [[Lake Temagami]].
*In [[1976]], participation in the Senior School Cadet Corps became optional for students in grades 11 through 13. In [[1984]], it became a completely voluntary corps. Appleby maintains a Cadet Corps to this day, open to both boys and girls.
*In [[1979]], the school cook, Hilda Chattaway, reached a remarkable milestone of 50 years of continuous service to Appleby. She continued to run the school's kitchen until her death in [[1985]]. In [[1982]] the Junior School Boarding dormitory located on the top floor of Colley House was named after her. However, boarding for the Junior grades was discontinued in [[1990]].
*Appleby commemorated its 75th anniversary during the 1985-86 school year. Memorable events from that year included the first football team's undefeated season and first and only CISAA championship, and the visit of [[Patricia Knatchbull, 2nd Countess Mountbatten of Burma|Lady Mountbatten]] to officially open the new wing to the classroom building. The new facility was called Nicholas Court and housed facilities for art, music and debating, in addition to new classrooms.
*Appleby was one of the first high schools in Ontario to eliminate [[Grade 13]], moving to a four year program in [[1987]]. All high schools in Ontario moved from a five year to a four year program as of [[2003]].
*Prior to becoming [[co-educational]] in [[1991]], Appleby was a school for boys only. Before then, Appleby's sister school was St. Mildred's Lightbourn School, an Oakville private school for girls.
*At the same time that girls were admitted, grades 4 through 6 were phased out and the Junior School/ Senior School division was eliminated. Michael Nightingale was the Director of the Junior School for all twenty years that it was in existence.
*In [[1993]] Appleby saw its first co-educational graduating class. By that fall, the school had taken on its present character of a completely co-educational school for students in grades 7 through 12. A fourth boarding residence, Baillie House, was also built for female students.

==Former Faculty at Other Canadian Private Schools==
Former Appleby teachers have gone on to leadership positions in other Canadian independent schools. Robert Snowden taught English at Appleby from 1975 to 1985, and is now Headmaster of [[St. Michaels University School]] in Victoria, British Columbia. He taught at [[Ridley College]] after leaving Appleby, and served as Headmaster of that school as well. He was also an Appleby student, and was the Head Prefect in 1970.
David Howie and Christopher Shannon were History teachers at Appleby in the 1980's and 1990's. They are now Headmaster of [[St. John's-Ravenscourt School]] in Winnipeg and [[Lower Canada College]] in Montreal, respectively.
Catherine Raaflaub, former Appleby Assistant Headmaster (School & Community Relations), is now Head of School of [[Strathcona Tweedsmuir School]] located near Calgary, Alberta.
Angela Terpstra, former Appleby Assistant Headmaster (Curriculum), is now Principal of the Senior School at [[Bishop Strachan School]] in Toronto.
==Former Faculty and Allegations of Improper Conduct==
[[John Aimers]] taught English and coached [[debating]] at Appleby from 1983 to 1991. He is the Dominion Chairman of the [[Monarchist League of Canada]]. Mr. Aimers has been named in a lawsuit filed in [[Montreal]] accusing him of sexually abusing a student while teaching at [[Selwyn House School]] in [[1977]]. The accusations have not been proven in court. There are no allegations related to Aimers' time at Appleby.
Another former teacher, Clark Winton Noble ("Knobby") was convicted of two sexual assaults in 1998; one dated from 1988 and involved an Appleby student, the other incident occurred in the early 1970's when Noble taught at [[Upper Canada College]] in [[Toronto]].{{ref|fitz}} Noble taught at Appleby for 18 years, and ran the school's Northern Campus at [[Lake Temagami]] from 1973 to 1986. He was allowed to resign from the Ontario College of Teachers, on his undertaking never to teach again. {{ref|discipline}}
==Appleby Slang==
* The Dew : the convenience store located across the road from the campus (it was originally a diner/inn, called "The Dew Drop Inn"). In 2005 the school acknowledged the Dew as part of the the campus so students could come and go freely.
* Pumpkin Night : the Monday after Halloween where all Seniors (formerly Grade 12's) wreak havoc upon the campus during the night, playing practical jokes, smashing pumpkins, etc., leaving the evidence for the day students and teachers arriving the next morning. While generally a harmless and fun distraction, sometimes the Pumpkin Night pranks get out of hand and the fall ritual has therefore fallen in and out of favour with the school administration since it started in the [[1970s]]. For example, Pumpkin Night was cancelled in [[1978]] due to excessive vandalism and drunkeness the previous year. The fall of 1990 also saw damage to school property and the hanging in effigy of a dummy wearing an Appleby blazer and a typical girl's private school kilt. The school had just announced that it would be admitting girls for the first time the following academic year, which inspired the "prank". Pumpkin Night almost did not survive this incident, and the entire Senior Year was punished as a result. However, the student body closed ranks and the specific perpetrators of the effigy were never caught or punished.
