"The Maples Academy (TMA) is the leader in private school education in the Orangeville area offering the globally recognized International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme. The fully accredited IB Primary Years Programme (JK-Grade 6) and Middle Years Program (Grades 7-8) emphasize fundamentals/effective learning habits. For 30 +years, TMA has provided superior education, daily Pre-Kindergarten with an academic focus including French instruction.TMA is part of the St. Jude's Academy & Oakwood Academy - Family of Schools"
"At The Maples Academy, what sets us apart is our commitment to personalized, student-centered education. With small class sizes, every child is known, supported, and challenged in meaningful ways. Our classrooms foster genuine connections between teachers and students, allowing for differentiated instruction that meets individual needs and sparks curiosity. Beyond academics, we believe student life is integral to learning. Whether through leadership opportunities, community events, or real-world projects, students actively engage in their own development, building character alongside knowledge. At The Maples Academy, education isn’t just about lessons taught — it’s about lives shaped."
"Given our location, The Maples Academy is not as deeply rooted in competitive athletics as some larger schools. However, we are proud to be part of a family of schools, including St. Jude’s Academy, which allows our students to participate in activities such as track and field events and spelling bee competitions. These opportunities enable our students to connect with peers from other schools and broaden their experiences, without athletics being the central focus of their journey at The Maples. Instead, we prioritize a well-rounded approach that balances academic growth, student life, and meaningful connections beyond our own campus."
"he Maples Academy was founded in 1989 as The Maples Independent Country School, created to offer a higher-quality alternative education with a ‘back-to-basics’ focus and a strong foundation of moral values. For over 35 years, The Maples has provided exceptional education to students from preschool through Grade 8, proudly serving Orangeville, Caledon, Shelburne, Grand Valley, and the surrounding counties of Dufferin, Wellington, Simcoe, and Peel.
Today, The Maples Academy has grown into one of the region’s leading schools. Anchored by our IB programs and a dynamic student-life department, we provide a balanced educational experience that extends beyond the classroom. Continuous improvements—including the addition of our elite Montessori program in 2024 and recent upgrades to our classrooms, library, and gymnasium—ensure that our learning environment is to date with our students needs, engaging, and tailored to meet the needs of every student."
"Prioritize Personalized Education: Families seeking small class sizes and individualized attention, where their child’s unique strengths and needs are recognized and supported.
Value Balanced Learning: Parents who understand that education extends beyond textbooks — who want their child to experience leadership development, outdoor education, student life activities, and exposure to other schools through events, but without sports dominating the school culture.
Are Open to Challenge: Families who appreciate the importance of appropriately challenging their children, not seeking overly sympathetic or lenient academic environments, but instead wanting a supportive, growth-focused approach that encourages resilience and independence.
Appreciate Character Development: Parents who value the development of global citizens — who care not only about academic success but also about how their child grows as a person, builds relationships, and contributes to the wider community."
"If families are seeking a purely comfort-based or overly accommodated approach to learning, The Maples Academy may not be the right fit. We believe that every student benefits from being appropriately challenged, and we are committed to helping each child grow, learn, and develop into a capable global citizen. Our focus extends beyond academics — we care deeply about each student’s personal development and how they internalize and apply what they learn. At The Maples, education is not about easing the path; it’s about guiding each child to realize their full potential."
"Families choose The Maples Academy for our unique blend of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum and Montessori principles, fostering a warm, inclusive environment where children thrive. Our emphasis on holistic child development, character building, and global citizenship appeals to families seeking a well-rounded education. The strong sense of community, where students are known and respected, creates an atmosphere of belonging. Our diverse extracurricular activities and house system offer opportunities for personal growth and skill development beyond academics. Additionally, our commitment to parental involvement and support services, like before and after-school care, makes us an attractive choice for families seeking a comprehensive educational experience."
"Families and students often leave The Maples Academy saying, “We’ll miss The Maples.” It truly becomes a family — a close-knit community where our PTA, student body, and dedicated staff work together to create something special. There’s a warmth and connection here that larger schools often can’t offer. People recognize the value of a smaller, independent private school that not only maintains its sense of community but is also committed to growth and development. At The Maples, we’re proud to offer an environment where every family feels seen, supported, and genuinely part of something unique."
"Beyond academics, our commitment to character development and global citizenship equips students with essential life skills. Our emphasis on values like risk-taking, communication, and interdisciplinary learning prepares students for future challenges. Additionally, the strong sense of community and family-like atmosphere we cultivate, where students are known and respected, often goes unnoticed but plays a pivotal role in our students' overall development and success."
"Families might be surprised by the depth of our commitment to fostering a close-knit community where students form meaningful relationships across grade levels, creating a familial atmosphere. Our dedicated faculty know each student by name and take a genuine interest in their development, ensuring that every child feels valued and heard. The breadth of our extracurricular offerings, from visual and performing arts to citizenship initiatives, allows students to explore diverse interests and develop well-rounded skills. Our welcoming approach to parental involvement and our comprehensive Child Care Centre further enhance the support we provide to families, making The Maples Academy a truly unique educational environment."
"We’ve recently modernized our classrooms with updated supplies and refreshed learning spaces to create a more engaging environment for our students. In 2024, we introduced a new Montessori Program for Pre-K to Grade 1, providing a strong, hands-on foundation for our youngest learners. Alongside these academic upgrades, we’ve revitalized our school’s visual identity with a new logo, updated colours, and a fresh design that better represents who we are today.
Looking ahead, we continue to invest in both our facilities and programs. Throughout the summer of 2025, we’re further upgrading our campus to ensure we’re ready to welcome students into a vibrant and functional learning space. Internally, we’re enhancing the student experience by launching a new hot lunch program and expanding opportunities for growth with additional trips and competitions throughout the year. These improvements reflect our ongoing commitment to providing a modern, well-rounded, and supportive environment."
"As mentioned, we are continually focused on advancing The Maples Academy — both in the programs we offer and the learning environment we create. While we are proud of our long-standing history, we recognize the importance of modernization to meet the evolving needs of today’s students. We are committed to creating a space that feels like a second home for our families and students: clean, welcoming, beautiful, and practical. We believe that a well-maintained, thoughtfully designed environment is essential to effective learning, and we are proud to be achieving that goal."
