Applewood Heights Secondary School

What Applewood Heights Secondary School does

Applewood Heights Secondary School is a publicly funded secondary school located at 945 Bloor Street East, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, operating under the Peel District School Board (PDSB), which serves over 148,000 students across 262 schools and is the second-largest school board in Canada. The school delivers grades 9-12 education leading to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), with a diversified program portfolio including French Immersion, Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) in Sports, Dual Credit, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), Explore High Skills, and Special Education. Principal Michael Bowman leads the institution under the school motto "let knowledge flourish."

The school's technology infrastructure is built on PDSB's district-wide digital ecosystem, including a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program, myBlueprint for career and pathway planning (grades 7-12), ParentConnect for parent communications, School Cash Online for fee management, and Peel eLearning/OeLC for online course delivery. Extracurricular offerings include Model UN, FBLA Applewood, Christian Club, Green Team, Rainbow Alliance, HOSA, and Concert Band. The school communicates with families through its website, social media channels, ParentConnect portal, and community events such as Information Nights and the Black Excellence Evening.

Applewood Heights is not a commercial enterprise; it is a government state entity funded through provincial education allocations to PDSB, with no tuition charged to Ontario residents. The only fee-based service surfaced is third-party student accident insurance at $17/year via Old Republic Insurance Company's Insuremykids program, which is pass-through rather than school revenue. The school's go-to-market is effectively zero — enrollment is determined by residential catchment boundaries — and its customer segments (students, parents/guardians, and community members) are non-paying participants in a publicly mandated service.
