Chongqing Maple Leaf International School

Chongqing Maple Leaf International School is part of the Maple Leaf Education Systems (MLES), which was the first offshore Canadian school system in China. This school offers a dual-diploma program, allowing students to graduate with both a Chinese high school diploma and a Canadian (British Columbia) high school diploma. This makes it a popular choice for families looking for a pathway to Canadian or other Commonwealth universities.

The school's philosophy is based on 'blending the best of East and West.' While the Canadian curriculum is taught in English by BC-certified teachers, students also take mandatory Chinese courses in history, geography, and culture to ensure they maintain their heritage and fulfill local requirements. The environment is designed to be more relaxed and collaborative than the traditional Chinese system, focusing on creative thinking and communication skills.

Located in the Bishan District, the campus is extensive and provides a full-boarding experience for most of its students. This boarding model is designed to foster independence and life skills. The school features a wide range of facilities, including sports stadiums, specialized science wings, and performance halls. It is notable for its massive scale and its systematic approach to preparing students for undergraduate study abroad.
