Maple Leaf International School - Tianjin TEDA

Maple Leaf International School (MLIS) in Tianjin is part of the extensive Maple Leaf Education Systems (MLES), which was the first offshore school system to be certified by the British Columbia Ministry of Education in China. The TEDA campus offers a dual-diploma program where students can earn both a Chinese high school diploma and a Canadian (BC) graduation certificate. This unique model allows students to apply to international universities without the need for additional entrance exams like the SAT or ACT.

The school’s philosophy is to blend the best of Eastern and Western educational traditions. While the high school follows the Canadian curriculum taught in English by certified teachers, the elementary and middle school programs focus on building a strong foundation in both Chinese and English. This makes it a popular choice for families looking for a truly bilingual and bicultural education.

The TEDA campus is known for its discipline and academic rigor. It offers extensive extracurricular activities, ranging from sports to robotics. The school has a massive alumni network and a strong track record of placing students in the 'Maple Leaf Top 100' universities worldwide.
