Maple Leaf International School - Shanghai

Maple Leaf pre-schools focus on developing an active and healthy learning environment that sets the stage for an inquisitiveness and delight in the process of learning.

MLES delivers an advanced Chinese and English pre-school education program that ensures ‘whole child’ development, while at the same time cultivating in each child a high degree of bilingual proficiency. Maple Leaf pre-schools blend elements of traditional Chinese culture with western cultural awareness and language development. Our pre-schools are well known for their attention to early childhood nutrition and the development of healthy personal habits. Maple Leaf pre-school students are embarking on the path to success.

The solid academic foundation of the Chinese compulsory education curriculum and the outstanding Maple Leaf English curriculum are blended with an active and engaging learning model that includes a focus on the arts and traditional Chinese culture. Our elementary school students are provided with the pathway to succeed through Maple Leaf middle schools, and Maple Leaf international high schools. Maple Leaf elementary school students are active, curious and happy learners, with a solid English foundation.

Our schools offer the full middle school curriculum of the 9-year Chinese compulsory education program. To support the success of our middle school students in moving seamlessly to the BC high school curriculum program, we supplement the middle school curriculum with additional science and academic English classes taught by our Canadian teachers, using our unique Maple Leaf English program. Maple Leaf middle schools address students’ individual growth while setting a solid foundation for their academic development and transition into Maple Leaf international high schools, and ultimately university abroad.

Maple Leaf middle schools focus on nurturing positive personal and academic development through the ‘three good habits’ model of:

• positive learning skills
• positive personal conduct
• positive living skills.

Maple Leaf Educational Systems has developed the Maple Leaf World Schools Program (MLWSP) for its high schools. MLWSP is a global, university-prep, English language high school curriculum designed for international and domestic learners. This innovative curriculum emphasizes academic excellence through a diverse, dynamic, engaging learning environment that includes higher-level thinking skills and inquiry-based learning resulting in students being prepared for future success at reputable universities and as contributing global leaders and citizens.

Maple Leaf Foreign Nationals Schools offer a positive and engaging learning environment in an all-English, Canadian education program. Enrolment at these schools is open to all students from pre-school through Grade 9 who hold a non-Chinese passport. Our program is accredited by the Ministry of Education from British Columbia, Canada, and all teachers and principals are BC certified educators. Our foreign nationals schools offer a diverse environment designed to enrich and support the development of students from international families living in China.
