  • In 1988 the Appleby College Board of Governors Long Range Planning Committee [Planning Committee] sent out a Decima Research survey to parents. This coincided with a self-study research for Appleby’s first Canadian Educational Standards Institute (CESI) accreditation review. One of the results from the CESI review was ‘examining the feasibility of coordinating Appleby’s Life Management classes with a local girl’s school “because certain issues might be better discussed in a coed setting”. • Results of review resulted in Long Range Planning Committee report which resulted in three main points: get out of Junior School operations, reinforce boarding, go coed. – this was the basis for The Business Plan, created in 1989. • The Board and McLean decided to launch a ‘Talk to everybody’ campaign – began in November 1989 with a letter to governors, parents, alumni, faculty, students and friends of appleby’ . The letter discussed coeducation. Spent 6 months talking to schools, people in community about these issues. • Coeducation was a volatile issue, sometimes referred to as contentious, and not everyone was happy about it. • After ‘Talking with Everybody’ campaign, the board voted and approved coeducation in Feb. 1990. • Headmaster McLean and Chairman Baillie Jr. supported it by saying Appleby could enhance its reputation of producing next generation leaders by recognizing that in the future at least half of them will be women. They also commented that if ‘Appleby derives its sense of excellence just by excluding women, then that is not something we should be particularly proud of’. • Sept. 1991 first female students to be admitted to grades six, seven and eight and to senior grades in Sept. 1992. At the same time, grade four was eliminated followed by grades five and six, so that by 1993, Appleby would only be offering programmes for grades 7 though 13. A new Dean of Women created – Catherine Raaflaub, who came to Appleby from Ridley College, where they had gone coeducational a decade and a half earlier – make sure girls received a fair chance at the school.
