Maple Leaf World Schools (MLWS) operates a high school within a university campus MLWS-KPU. Proudly partnering with Kwantlen Polytechnic University, MLWS offers the British Columbia Graduation Program from grades 10 to 12. Our students share state-of-the-art university facilities and have the opportunity to begin taking 1st-year university courses through our partner university while enrolled in high school.
Maple Leaf was founded in 2016 in order to provide a strong entry for international students into the Canadian educational system with a specific eye to achieving admission to and success at university in North America. The program has been engineered with that goal very firmly in mind, including all the support necessary for the international student arriving in Canada, ESL courses and assessment, a full menu of AP offerings, 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. On arrival, students enter an environment that is student-centered and populated by peers of a like mind and facing the same challenges, specifically around university preparation. The ideal student is one who's able to thrive in a challenging, goal-oriented, and diverse academic environment.

Application Process:
Step 1 – Learn about our Schools
We encourage you to speak with our Admissions Team to discover what makes our school the right choice for you. They will be able to assist you in choosing which school destination may be the best option for your future studies. We encourage students to apply early due to limited space in our schools and the possible need to apply for a Canadian study permit.
Step 2 – Application
Applications can be made online or in person at our admissions office. Online application forms can be found on our website at Maple Leaf North America - Apply (mapleleafschools.com. You can also obtain hard copies from any of our admissions staff or certified agents. There is a $300 application fee. The application form must be signed by both the student and parent(s)/guardian(s).
Step 3 – Admission
Our admissions team will carefully review all submitted applications and documents. Once documents have been reviewed, the interview will be scheduled and if necessary, a written exam may also be organized. If the student is successful in their applications, they will be notified within three weeks of the interview.
Step 4 – Acceptance and Payment
While notified of their acceptance to our Maple Leaf World Schools, the student will also receive a Conditional Letter of Acceptance which will include details of the payment balance and deposit deadline. This will be sent via email. Once full payment of the tuition fee has been received by our office, the student will be issued an Official Letter of Acceptance via mail. Other essential forms including the custodian declaration form, accommodation, medical and registration will be provided via email. Payment of tuition and other fees can be completed through various options, including our Western-Union Payment Platform, bank transfers and cheque. An official receipt will be issued from Maple Leaf World Schools once payment has been received.
This is the percentage of applicants typically accepted into the school. So if 50 students are admitted out of 100 applicants, the school has an overall acceptance rate of 50%.
