The program has been engineered with that goal very firmly in mind, including all the supports necessary for the international student arriving in Canada, ESL courses and assessment, a full menu of AP offering, and travel and university guidance. Maple Leaf is smaller than some of the other international schools in the region, which is a draw for families looking for a more personal approach to curriculum delivery and student life.
