Extracurricular Activities
Athletics at Appleby approaches the development of student athletes as an integrated process. While the spirit of competition is strong, it is the development of character and leadership within a team setting that is the programme's point of emphasis. The dynamic arts programming provides academic instruction in dance, drama, media, music (instrumental, jazz, strings and vocal), and visual arts, as well as a multitude of cocurricular and club options.
