The story of Maple Bear began with the Canadian Education Centre Network (CECN), a non-profit organization supported by the Government of Canada and the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada. CECN was mandated to market Canadian education abroad to attract foreign students to study in Canada. Maple Bear was born after CECN managers overseas realized there was a domestic demand for high-quality, bilingual Canadian education from emerging middle-class parents, many of whom had studied outside of their own countries in general and in Canada in particular.
In 2005, the first Maple Bear Canadian School opened in Indirapuram, New Delhi, India. In 2007, Maple Bear became a privately owned company with a dozen schools operating in Korea, Brazil and India. Those numbers quickly changed as news of the excellence of Canadian immersion and bilingual education spread, especially among parents who could see the positive outcomes in language, learning and behavior of their children.
Today, Maple Bear has over 420 schools in 20 countries with more than forty thousand students studying at Maple Bear schools worldwide. We welcome you to join the Maple Bear South Asia family as a school owner, a student, a parent, a teacher, or a member of the Canadian faculty.
