President's Message
Welcome to Fleming College!
Tony Tilly
President, Fleming College
At Fleming we strive to offer the best possible educational experience for our students. We have a wealth of programs, practical hands-on learning experiences, knowledgeable and dedicated faculty and staff – all of which ensure our students’ success, success that has translated into more than 90 per cent of our alumni finding employment within six months of graduating.
Fleming has something to offer to all students – post-graduate programs, apprenticeships, diploma programs and certificates as well as part-time or continuing education courses, online courses and computerized tutorials. It allows for greater flexibility and accessibility to better meet students’ needs. We are constantly reviewing and updating our programs and technology so the students are fully prepared to embark on the career of their choice.
At the same time, each campus boasts its own unique learning environment. Our Haliburton Campus, home to the Haliburton School of The Arts, features spacious new studios in a woodland setting. Our Frost Campus is a model of sustainability with a windmill producing off-grid power, a green roof in its initial stages and an alternative waste water treatment system. The Sutherland Campus has a new Technology Wing, and the Esthetician students at the Cobourg Campus are operating a new on-site spa.
Students at the Sutherland Campus have direct access to state-of-the-art aquatic facilities, a triple gymnasium, cardio theatre and fitness classes in the new Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre. Also located on campus is St. Joseph’s at Fleming. This long-term care facility is home to Fleming’s Institute for Healthy Aging and Nursing and provides students, in a variety of programs, with numerous applied learning and volunteer opportunities working with residents.
It is within these settings that our students are living, learning, thriving and achieving.
Fleming College is renowned as a world-class learning institution. While it attracts students of all ages from across Ontario and Canada, Fleming is also home to a growing number of international students.
Exchanges with other educational institutions from around the globe and international class trips that are part of the curriculum contribute to the college’s global outlook and ensures our students are prepared to succeed in a dynamic, evolving global community.
In all that we do here at the college, we strive to carry on the tradition of our namesake Sir Sandford Fleming, who was a great Canadian inventor and visionary.
We invite you to visit any of our campuses to see what Fleming is all about.
