Programs in Maple Leaf World Schools
In order to foster curiosity and a love of learning, Maple Leaf World Schools (MLES) lays a strong emphasis on developing active and healthy learning environments in their pre-schools. Its pre-school curriculum aims to foster bilingualism in both Mandarin and English while ensuring the development of the whole child. With a fusion of traditional Chinese culture and western cultural knowledge, Maple Leaf pre-schools place an emphasis on early childhood nutrition and healthy personal habits to set their students up for success.
Additionally, MLES emphasizes fostering a lifelong love of learning in their elementary schools by fusing the excellent Maple Leaf English curriculum with the strong academic foundation of the Chinese compulsory education program. To add to this, they provide a style of active and interesting learning that emphasizes traditional Chinese culture and the arts. With a strong foundation in English and an active, inquisitive learning style, their elementary school pupils are ready for success in Maple Leaf middle schools and international high schools.
The curriculum for the Maple Leaf World Schools middle school is similar to that of the Maple Leaf international high schools in Canada, with an emphasis on all-around student development and academic English competence.
Maple Leaf middle schools focus on promoting positive personal and academic growth through the "three good habits" model, which encompasses positive learning skills, positive personal conduct, and positive living skills. These schools provide a complete middle school curriculum, following the 9-year Chinese compulsory education program. To ensure smooth transition of students to the BC high school curriculum program, Maple Leaf World Schools middle schools supplement the curriculum with additional science and academic English classes taught by Canadian teachers using the unique Maple Leaf English program. The focus on individual student growth in Maple Leaf middle schools sets a strong foundation for academic development and prepares them for successful transition to Maple Leaf international high schools and future study abroad opportunities.
Through a curriculum that is entirely in English and is based on Canadian education standards, Maple Leaf World Schools offer a warm and engaging learning environment. Preschool through Grade 9 children with non-Chinese passports are eligible to enroll. All teachers and principals are British Columbia-certified educators, and the program has received certification from the Ministry of Education of that province. These schools offer a diverse environment to enrich and encourage the growth of the youngsters from multinational families living in China. The program offers a special academic English program taught daily to assist students who lack English competence in making the transition to a fully English academic environment. Graduating ninth graders can effortlessly transfer to Maple Leaf World Schools for grades ten through twelve and earn a recognized British Columbia high school diploma. The high-quality educational program also includes daily CSL classes to help international students advance to the dual diploma option at the high school level and acquire their Chinese high school diploma. This will allow them to develop academic Mandarin proficiency and earn their Chinese high school diploma.
The high school curriculum at Maple Leaf World Schools is in line with that of British Columbia, Canada. The British Columbia Ministry of Education has approved the program, and it is checked for conformity on an annual basis. To guarantee adherence to standards, the Superintendent, BC Program supervises the program at each Maple Leaf World Schools. To deliver a top-notch education, each school has a principal from British Columbia and a staff of qualified Canadian instructors. The BC Ministry of Education certifies and verifies the credentials of all academic administrators and teachers.
For the teaching of English as a Second Language (ESL) to elementary and middle school students, Maple Leaf World Schools has created their own instructional materials, such as Maple Leaf English and Maple Leaf English for Young Learners. The essential skills of hearing, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar are included in the ESL curriculum. The goal of Maple Leaf English is to assist kids in thinking and learning in English so that they are better prepared for high school coursework. At the elementary and middle school levels, pupils take at least 12 English classes a week, half of which are instructed by teachers who speak native English. All of the ESL instructors have degrees in ESL teaching and are certified. The MLES Language Electives Program is available at the high school level at Maple Leaf World Schools for students who might not be prepared for the demanding English-language learning environment in the regular BC high school program. Through this program, students can earn elective credits toward their BC high school diploma while enhancing their English language skills in a context that emphasizes academic success. Foundations and Bridge are the two levels of the language electives program.
There are seven levels of the Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) program available to non-Chinese students at Maple Leaf World Schools, ranging from beginning learners to professionals. International students enrolling in the Chinese primary and middle schools, the Foreign Nationals schools, and the BC high school program can take this language program as a credit course. Several of the international students are utilizing this opportunity to acquire written and spoken Mandarin as well as the prerequisites for Chinese universities. At the Dalian headquarters, Maple Leaf World Schools is pleased to host a Chinese National Han Ban recognized office. This office gives MLES permission to offer CSL and HSK instructor training. It also grants Maple Leaf World Schools permission to serve as a test site for the HSK, HSKK, BCT, and YCT as well as the School Base for Chinese International Promotion. International high school students who complete CSL courses will receive equivalent credit for Mandarin 10, 11, and 12.
