Maple Leaf is an English-intensive education system. All Maple Leaf schools provide extensive ESL instruction in preparation for the Maple Leaf World School Program (MLWSP). At elementary and middle school levels, students study Maple Leaf English and Maple Leaf English for Young Learners, with at least 12 English classes weekly, half of which are taught by native English speakers. All ESL teachers hold degrees and ESL certification. For students not yet ready for full immersion, there is an ESL Foundations and ESL Bridging pathway designed to transition students into the MLWSP. The program aims to help students think in English to support academic work in high school.
