Founded in 2020, Maple Bear Sofia opened in Boyana in September 2020, offering a bilingual program that combines the Bulgarian national curriculum with the Canadian Maple Bear curriculum in English. In June 2023, our first class of Grade 4 students graduated with success. In September 2023, Kambanite became the second school location, opening its doors to primary stage students. In April 2025, the school obtained a license for the middle school level from the Ministry of Education and Science. In September 2025, we reached 300 students enrolled at Maple Bear Sofia.
Parents, teachers, and students form a triangle of partnership; when all three sides are strong, children thrive. Parental involvement and support, together with teaching and students' effort, create the foundation for both academic achievement and personal growth. The school runs charity and environmental initiatives such as the Terry Fox charity run and Earth Day activities, and partners with Remix and Greenpeace Bulgaria to promote sustainability. The Science Fair fosters hands-on discovery, and Maple Bear Sofia hosted live radio contact with the International Space Station.
Maple Bear Sofia delivers a hybrid Canadian-Bulgarian curriculum with bilingual instruction in English and Bulgarian, designed for students from Preschool through High School. Founded in 2020, the school opened in Boyana and expanded to Kambanite in 2023, reaching 300 students by September 2025. Maple Bear curriculum is created in Canada by the Maple Bear Faculty, a team of 150+ expert educators, and is updated to reflect practices. Part of the day follows the Canadian Maple Bear program while the remainder aligns with the Bulgarian Ministry of Education, enabling a seamless bilingual learning experience. The program emphasizes language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies through a child-centered approach, with competitive mathematics offered for Grades 2–4 and preparation for national competitions such as Mathematics Without Borders, European Kangaroo, Lyuboslovie, and Spelling Bee. Bulgarian assessments show results, e.g., 2024 Language and Literature 91.79 and Mathematics 89.79; 2025 Language and Literature 85.46 and Mathematics 89.29.
