Academics

Maple Bear Canadian International Kindergarten Hong Kong teaches Canadian Curriculum, Bespoke Curriculum for students aged 0 to 6.

The Maple Bear network includes over 600 schools in 39 countries and features a PISA 2018 ranking claim for the English-speaking world in science, math and reading.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Maple Bear teaches the whole child - physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Social and emotional development is a core focus and is addressed daily through eight development areas. Children benefit from loving relationships in a safe, secure environment where they feel valued. Through the character values curriculum, they develop positive behaviours such as kindness, generosity, respect, and responsibility. The school supports SEL with ongoing teacher training and a program-wide commitment to quality assurance, including annual inspections and curriculum updates to reflect current research and local regulations.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Bilingual education uses English and Chinese in classroom instruction to provide a bilingual immersive learning experience. Students study all academic subjects in English and Chinese and don't just memorize vocabulary; they learn through immersion. English immersion is developed by Canadian faculty and is complemented by a locally developed Chinese curriculum. The bilingual curriculum emphasizes language and literacy in both languages and strongly supports English language development. By the end of Senior Kindergarten, students will be able to communicate effectively in both languages, read basic text in both languages, and use phonics strategies to approach new words. Students listen, speak, read, and write in both languages from day one.

Mental Wellbeing
Bear Care is Maple Bear Academy English Playgroup Classes for infants and toddlers. Bear Care Playgroup is modeled on current Canadian early childhood practices. The program educates across physical, cognitive, communication, emotional, and social domains. It provides a secure and stimulating environment where risk-taking is encouraged and where children perceive themselves as capable and competent learners. The program fosters a warm, friendly atmosphere in a safe and healthy facility that is child-centered. It includes activities such as phonics, movement, songs, dancing, sensory exploration, parent-child activities, and theme-based vocabulary and tasks to support emotional and social development.
