Maple Leaf Opens First High School in Canada

One of China’s largest private international school systems has opened a bilingual Chinese English high school on the campus of Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia.

The venture is the first Canadian school established by Maple Leaf Education North America, a division of China-based Maple Leaf Educational Systems which runs 46 schools in China catering to students at all levels from preschool to high school.

Sixty Chinese students between grades 10 and 12 began studying at TRU’s Kamloops campus in late August. They will graduate with both BC and Chinese high school diplomas.

“This collaboration is an example of Maple Leaf’s and TRU’s visionary approach to global education”

“This is a very proud moment for Maple Leaf as we come full circle and open our first school in Canada, in Kamloops and with TRU, one of our very earliest university partners,” said Dawn Sutherland, president, Maple Leaf Education North America.
