Our students are encouraged to explore, connect learning to real-life situations, and engage in project-based learning, social responsibility, and community service. Through group activities and lively discussions they develop essential skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability.
The head office of Maple Bear Global Schools Ltd. is in Vancouver, Canada, ensuring a consistent core curriculum across all campuses. With continuous updates from experienced Canadian academic faculty, we uphold the highest standards while fostering holistic development.
