  • 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.

Baillie House residence
  • It was over the first year of coeducation that the school decided to give the female students their own House name to rally under. Appleby chose to name this House in honour of the Baillie Family, and in acknowledge of the gratitude to Lady Baillie, whose abiding faith in the school set an example of leadership and support which has been sustained by succeeding generations of her family. The first female boarders lived in the McCraney House with Lynne and Jim Fischer, as well as the creation of an early 'Baillie House' on the first floor of Colley House. Over the school year 1992-93, ground broke for the school's first female residence. Located east of Walker House, the building originally housed 52 students in double rooms (26 rooms). Designed by Gren Weis & Associates, the building measured approximately 25,000 square feet with the estimated cost of $1.8 million dollars. The building also included a drama room in the basement, and three faculty residences: the House Director, Assistant House Director, as well as a single apartment. The choice of the building's location was strategic. It was decided for safety reasons to build away from Lakeshore Road. Secoondly, the school had envisioned to eventually turn Walker House into a second female residence as the demands for boarding would grow with increased female enrolment. The school estimated that it would take a couple years before baillie House was full to capacity.
  • Baillie House officially opened on November 27, 1993, with 40 members of the Baillie Family in attendance. The reception began with refreshments on the main floor lounge and tours escorted by Baillie House boarders. A plaque commemorating the names of all Baillie family members who have studied at Appleby was unveiled by Jim Baillie (class of 1937), the youngest son of Lady Baillie, and his grand-daughter Nancy Unsworth (class of 1999). After the unveiling, guests proceeded to hear the Jazz Choir sing, which included a serenade to Aubrey Baillie (class of 1963) of It Had to Be You. Head of House Melissa Bailey (Class of 1994) spoke on the importance of having a place to call home. Lastly, Headmaster Guy McLean spoke on the vision of the Board in understanding the need of a female residence, as well as the unique relationship between the school and the Baillie Family, which began in 1918 and still continues today.
