Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are thrilled to share that preparations are underway for the full launch of Appleby College’s innovative Immersive Programme, taking place Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19, 2026. During this week, students in Upper One through Senior One will participate in engaging, hands-on experiential courses designed to spark curiosity, passion, and creativity.

As previously communicated, the Immersive Programme is a mandatory element of the Appleby student experience. Only students taking part in one of the school’s June 2026 Global Education trips will be excused.

We are aiming to offer Immersive experiences that engage students’ passions and inspire them to learn by doing while free of academic expectations. No homework, no marks — the Immersive Programme is all about hands-on experience as students dive deep into their chosen area of focus.

To ensure our Immersive Programme offerings spark student interest, we’ll be sharing a survey with students on Monday, November 3 with a list of possible learning options. The survey invites students to share their preferences and contribute new ideas for immersive learning experiences.

Please take a moment to discuss this survey with your children over the coming week and encourage them to submit a response, as their input is essential for the planning of our Immersive Programme.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm as we prepare for this exciting new chapter of learning at Appleby.

Sincerely,

Andrew Bryce
Director, Immersive Programmes: Operations and Student Engagement
