Appleby College Summer Academy Remote Learning offers an engaging online platform that includes class learning hours spent in a live virtual classroom, as well as independent work completed by the student on their own time.
- We offer small class sizes of no more than 12 students in the online learning environment. This ensures that each student has ample one-on-one time with the teacher, to make sure their remote learning needs are met.
- Class hours vary depending on the subject and are tailored to the different subjects.
- July classes run from Monday, June 28, 2021 to Friday, July 23, 2021.
-
August classes run from Monday, July 26, 2021 to Friday, August 20, 2021.
- Students are expected to have access to a personal computer or tablet, and internet access to participate in the course.
- Withdrawal and Refund Policy: Notice of student withdrawal must be made in writing to the Summer Academy office at academy@appleby.on.ca. All refunds and course changes are subject to a $200 administrative fee. Full refunds will only be issued with proof of visa denial or a medical emergency supported by certification from a legally qualified medical practitioner not related to the student. Cancellations received 30 days prior to the start date of the program are eligible for a full refund, less the administrative fee.

Core French 10 | FSF2D
Grade 10 Core French | FSF2D
This course provides opportunities for students to communicate in French about personally relevant, familiar, and academic topics in real-life situations with increasing independence. Students will exchange information, ideas, and opinions with others in guided and increasingly spontaneous spoken interactions. Students will continue to develop their language, knowledge and skills through the selective use of strategies that contribute to effective communication. Students will also increase their understanding and appreciation of diverse French-speaking communities, and will develop skills necessary for lifelong language learning.
This course will take place in the month of August. Using an online conversation & collaboration system, students will work in groups or as a whole class interacting with the teacher and their peers using text, audio, video and screen sharing. Activities such as listening, reading and speaking are part of the daily meetings. This live correspondence will usually take place in the mornings (Eastern Daylight Time), from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and students will continue with their independent work for 2 hours daily after their online time using the shared OneNote Binders. Feedback on homework is provided by the teacher as students work their way through the curriculum.

COVID-19 SUMMER 2021 EXCEPTIONS FOR ON CAMPUS PROGRAMMING:
Missed On-Campus Program Policies
Our fees are for a service over a specified period of time and are not a day-to-day fee. Missing class for any reason (without a valid Doctor’s note) will not be subject to any refunds or pro-rating of fees.
- Exception 1: If Extended Absence Insurance is purchased at the time of enrollment ($15/student/week), and the student becomes ill or injured during the course of their enrolment, and is therefore required to miss two (2) consecutive days of their regularly scheduled enrollment, the remaining unattended classes will be refunded.
- Exception 2: if there is a positive case of COVID-19 in the student's class and the class is asked to self-isolate for 14 days, a prorated refund will be granted for those days.
COVID-19 REGULATIONS
COVID-19 Regulations
The Appleby College Summer Academy offers a wide range of academic enrichment courses to suit students with different backgrounds and different needs. We are hopeful and committed to offering on campus enrichment programs in 2021 that follow all Public Health and Government COVID-19 guidelines and safety protocols and provide the highest safety standards to protect the Appleby community during these pandemic circumstances.
On campus programming will run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, unless otherwise specified. Lunch will be provided daily from the dining hall.
Our on-campus operations in 2021 will include:
- Small class sizes of no more than nine students per session
- Separate designated indoor, outdoor, and eating locations
- Maximum capacities, physical distancing and safety signage
- Mandatory mask policy for all campers and staff
- Increased hand washing built into the program schedule
- Daily screening procedures
- Individual equipment, supplies and lunches, where possible
- Consistent and thorough sanitization and cleaning protocols
As we plan for 2021 in this evolving landscape, we appreciate your patience and confidence in our team and promise to communicate openly about our planning and any changes that need to be made. We are here to answer any further questions you may have, please reach us at any time by email academy@appleby.on.ca.
SUMMER PROGRAM COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
We are dedicated to running a successful 2021 summer with the ongoing commitment of our students and staff to take care of each other and respect public health guidelines. All families agree to maximize the safety of our summer program community by:
- Abiding by current Public Health measures in day to day (non-Appleby) life, whatever they may be at the time. This may include maintaining a small “bubble” of exposure outside of the program, remaining physically distant from others and/or wearing a mask in public areas, and practicing proper hand-washing, among other measures.
- Being diligent about illness or symptoms of any kind. Just as has been the case in this school year, it is extremely important to keep students home if they are experiencing any signs of illness or symptoms. We understand that this has implications for families, which is why we are offering the option of purchasing Extended Absence Insurance in 2021. Return-to-program policies will be updated based on our local public health unit’s recommendations at the time.
- Maintaining physical distancing. Guardians should be aware that everyone has different levels of comfort regarding exposure to the virus. If a guardian must be on campus and speak to program staff, guardians should be wearing a mask and maintaining physical distance from all students and staff.
