Proprietary curriculum based on Canadian bilingual methodology

According to the OECD's Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), Canada consistently out ranks the United States and the United Kingdom, often by significant margins.

Maple Bear school owners have access to a detailed turnkey curriculum developed from the ground up to reflect the very best in Canadian education practices and methodology.

Since the 1960s when immersion education was formally established in Canada, the volume and quality of research on bilingualism made Canada the world leader in providing the academic, evidence-based foundation for supporting bilingual education.

In addition to this pedagogical expertise, we believe that to meet the challenges of the future, we need youth who are capable of both critical thinking and creative problem solving. Our curriculum is constantly being refreshed to reflect current educational trends that are crucial for 21st century success.

Complete academic, marketing, and operational support through regional office

On top of the academic support, our regional offices support school owners with the business and administration side of running a school. Our teams are on hand to provide guidance throughout the entire process of establishing and owning a school from writing a business plan, selecting or designing a facility, planning finances, to marketing and school administration.

Annual training and quality assurance on site at your school

Canadian education experts mentor and assist in the start-up phase coupled with an in-person initial training of academic and administrative staff.

After the start-up phase, school owners receive year-round support and training for their staff. Every Maple Bear school undergoes an annual quality assurance visit that covers everything from safety equipment to classroom performance. Our goal is to help Maple Bear school owners establish quality schools that will provide an excellent education experience to students for generations to come.
