Our School, has been established near the Golden Peddle Beach of Dalian, a beautiful coast city of northeast China. The philosophy of the Dalian Maple Leaf International School is to inherit brilliant Chinese culture and integrating it with an excellent western education system and to merge the Chinese traditional discipline with the heuristic pedagogy of the West. Students educated within such a school system will become most productive and competitive in China and the world in the coming new millennium.

Our School was built in 1995. It is a joint venture between Canada and China educational and business institutions. The school is fully recognized by Liaoning Provincial and Dalian Government and registered with the Chinese State Education Commission.

Our School offers primary, junior secondary and senior secondary programs. The primary and junior secondary programs ( grade 1-9 ) are based on China s curricula. English language education begins in grade one in primary school. The senior secondary programs ( grade 10-12 ) are based primarily on the provincial curriculum set out by the British Columbia Ministry of Education and complemented with appropriate content from China s curriculum. Students who successfully completed senior secondary program and the requisite provincial examination will receive a British Columbia Dogwood Certificate, with which students will be fully qualified to apply by their choice for any post-secondary studies in Canada or the United States.

The School is also accredited by both the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges ( NASC ) and the Commission on International and Trans-regional Accreditation ( CITA ). The Dalian Maple leaf International School has been in compliance with the Standards for Accreditation of NASC and the Standards for International Schools of CITA. It is the only school in China that acquired such international accreditation status.

Our School has a campus of 50,000 square meters and is equipped with all necessary facilities that are state-of-art and constructed according the international standards. There are more than 700 students currently enrolled in the 98-99 school year, and about 80 teachers, 12 of which are from Canada and 4 from other English speaking countries. The School has so far fulfilled its primary goal of becoming the pioneer in education and is now leading ahead in China and in the world.
