Distinct Chinese Characteristics
First of all, the Chinese characteristics of Maple Leaf World School Program are reflected in the Chinese academic courses taught to Chinese students, including Chinese language courses and Chinese social science courses (covering the content of history, geography and politics in the Chinese curriculum standards), which are aimed at consolidating students' mother tongue foundation, enhancing students' sense of identity with the motherland and the Chinese nation, and inheriting excellent Chinese culture and values. In addition, the Chinese characteristics of Maple Leaf World School Program are also reflected in the social practice, community service and career planning courses independently developed by Maple Leaf, together with a series of other school-based courses, to guide students to cultivate humanistic accomplishments, artistic tastes and comprehensive abilities.
Secondly, the Chinese language courses for foreign students are based on the concept of "Chinese characters as the basis and culture as the body" and help foreign students efficiently master Chinese and understand Chinese culture through graded teaching.
Finally, Chinese elements are also incorporated into the English academic courses and English language courses taught in English for all students. For example, in the course of world history and geography, there are contents introducing the Age of Exploration in the West and Zheng He's voyages to the West, which puts Chinese history and geography into a global perspective to cultivate students' broad historical and geographical perspectives. Maple Leaf World School Program is more suitable for students whose native language is not English, especially Chinese students, and can cultivate students' bilingual and bi-thinking abilities.
