MLWSP Recognized as Comparable to Hong Kong's HKDSE by UK-Ecctis

UK-Ecctis completed its benchmarking assessment report comparing the Maple Leaf World School Program (MLWSP) with the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) . The results state that the MLWSP is comparable (equivalent to) the HKDSE standard.

The Ecctis Executive Summary Report includes the following:

Ecctis has found the MLWSP High School Diploma awarded by Maple Leaf Educational Systems (MLES) comparable to HKDSE standard .
A benchmarking study was commissioned by Maple Leaf Educational Systems (MLES) and undertaken by Ecctis to evaluate the comparability of the Maple Leaf World Schools Program (MLWSP) High School Diploma with the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) . The study builds on Ecctis' previous benchmarking of the MLWSP in 2024, which found the MLWSP High School Diploma overall comparable to UK GCE A Level, British Columbia (Canada) Certificate of Graduation, and US (New York) High School Diploma .

Dr. Sherman Jen, Chair and CEO of MLES, comments, “This positive assessment of the Maple Leaf World School Curriculum is another significant recognition of the high academic standard of our high school curriculum. This Ecctis-recognized equivalency will provide graduates with a MLWSP diploma direct admission into Hong Kong universities. "

James Beeke, Maple Leaf's Superintendent of Global Education and Executive Director on its Board of Directors, observes, “The MLWSP being benchmarked by UK-Ecctis (a top world-recognized curriculum and credential evaluation service agency) as comparable to the HKDSE is another meaningful step in Maple Leaf's implementation of its global vision of blending the best of east and west in education to prepare students for the international world of the future. Ecctis has now assessed the MLWSP to meet the same world recognized curriculum, assessment, and diploma standards as:

UK (A-Level)
USA (State of New York)
Canada (Province of British Columbia), and
China Hong Kong

Positive Benchmarking of the Maple Leaf World Schools Curriculum by UK-ECCTIS!

May 28, 2024

Ecctis is the UK National Information Centre for Global Qualifications. It offers official UK national agency services on behalf of the UK government in global qualifications. While UK-based, Ecctis provides independent evaluation and benchmarking services to education governmental agencies, universities, and professional bodies across the globe.

Ecctis has completed a thorough review of the grade 10-12 Maple Leaf World School Program (MLWSP) in terms of entry requirements, duration, structure, content, modes of learning, student assessment, learning outcomes, and graduation (diploma) standards. Ecctis compared the MLWSP to grade 10-12 programs and diploma standards in the UK, Canada (British Columbia), and the United States (New York).

The overall conclusion of Ecctis’ independent review and benchmarking of the Maple Leaf World School Program and Diploma reads as follows:

Overall conclusion: Ecctis' independent review has found the MLWSP High School Diploma, awarded by Maple Leaf Educational Systems (MLES), comparable to:

Overall GCE A Level standard in the UK system, when five Grade 12 MLWSP subjects have been passed (in addition to the Personal and Global Leadership and Creative Thinking and Problem-Solving courses)
British Columbia Certificate of Graduation standard
US High School Graduation Diploma standard

Holders of the MLWSP Grade 12 diploma may be considered to meet the general entry requirements of undergraduate admission in the UK, Canada, and US.

Dr. Sherman Jen, Founder, Chair, and CEO of China Maple Leaf Educational Systems (CMLES), commented , “This is great news for Maple Leaf’s World School Program (MLWSP). This significant ECCTIS benchmarking result is another verification of that which universities around the world have recognized, that MLWSP high school graduates are well prepared for entrance into the world’s quality universities. The MLWSP is being recognized globally as a high standard program, like IB or Cambridge. Of the 1,145 grade 12 MLWSP graduates in June 2023, one hundred percent received university admission letters, and approximately eighty percent were accepted into the top 100 QS-ranked universities in the world.”

James Beeke, CMLES Superintendent of Global Education, stated, “Ecctis’s positive benchmarking of the MLWSP provides another high-level, independent verification of the quality standards of the MLWSP. Unlike other educational programs, the MLWSP is unique as an English language curriculum designed for students whose first language is not English and home culture is not western enabling them to reach high international standards and graduate from grade 12 with a comparable diploma as students in the UK, Canada, and United States. This opens a world of opportunity for MLWSP graduates to enter high quality universities around the world. The uniqueness of the MLWSP and success of its graduates will also generate interest in the MLWSP in many non-English, non-Western countries worldwide.”

Deepening the Maple Leaf World School Curriculum Digital Services | "MLES-SIS" system is now online!

April 15, 2024

As the only international curriculum with Chinese characteristics and Oriental culture in the world, Maple Leaf has built an information service system (i.e. "MLES-SIS") to serve the students of the Maple Leaf World School Program (MLWSP), in order to meet the demand for standardized information management of graduates, and at the same time to improve the information support services of the MLWSP.

We have developed the system to be full-featured and easy-to-use, which ensures effective management of graduate information and provides support for MLWSP students.

Homepage of MLES-SIS

Through information technology, the MLES-SIS will achieve comprehensive and optimized management of graduate information. Graduate information certified by Maple Leaf will be stored and maintained on Maple Leaf's own servers, providing comprehensive data support and services to universities, students, parents and third parties worldwide.

The system is already officially online and the MLES website is the only official access point for external requests for Maple Leaf graduate information. Universities, graduates and other external individuals and organizations can access the official Maple Leaf website (https://www.mapleleaf.cn/) to remotely request, authenticate, download and print student transcripts and diplomas.

The MLES-SIS was developed to ensure the authenticity and validity of information such as Maple Leaf diplomas and transcripts, as well as the credibility of MLWSP students' grades.

Introduction to the functions of MLES-SIS：

● Check students’ transcripts and diploma.

● Download electronic transcripts and diplomas.

● Send the official Maple Leaf-certified transcripts and diplomas to the applicant’s university using the official Maple Leaf email address;

● Pay to request physical Maple Leaf certified transcripts and diploma to be mailed.

Maple Leaf Achieves an Exceptionally Strong and High-Scoring Cognia Accreditation Review Report!

August 9, 2022

In May 2022, Cognia conducted a comprehensive inspection (Accreditation Engagement Review) of Maple Leaf Educational Systems and all its schools and educational services, including all Maple Leaf high schools in China using the Cognia-endorsed and validated Maple Leaf World School Curriculum. The Accreditation Engagement Review was highly successful, as can be seen from the following summary quote taken from the introduction of the Cognia Report:

“Cognia’s review of all components of Maple Leaf’s global educational systems has resulted in an exceptionally strong and successful report. In fact, the review of Maple Leaf Educational Systems represents the largest independent school systems that achieved one of the highest overall scores of any system Cognia has ever reviewed and accredited through out the world.”

The Maple Leaf Educational Systems extensive accreditation review involved 25 experienced evaluators, including senior leadership of Cognia. The overall Index of Educational Score (IEQ) awarded Maple Leaf Educational Systems was 370 out of a possible 400, which is substantially higher than the average range of Cognia IEQ accreditation scores granted over the past five years of 278-283.

Dr. Sherman Jen, MLES Chair and CEO, states, “This very strong and highly successful external review of all Maple Leaf’s educational systems, schools, and programs is most encouraging and timely. As Maple Leaf plans to move forward with more online options and educational services, receiving such a positive report and high IEQ score from the world’s largest school accrediting body is most reassuring. It provides us with professional reassurance that our foundation is strong and that we can now proceed to build with confidence upon it.”

Cognia is the united organization of three of the six school accreditation commissions recognized by the United States national government, i.e., the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC), and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). It is the world’s largest school accrediting body and international education community, accrediting and serving 36,000 + schools in more than 90 countries.

Below is a brief bio of the award winner, Dr. Sherman Jen.

Dr. Sherman Jen

Founder, CEO, and Chairman of Maple Leaf Educational Systems

Dr. Sherman Jen was born and raised in China. He later moved to Vancouver, Canada. While living in Canada, Sherman developed the idea of an educational system that would blend the best of the educational model he saw in Canada with the strengths and cultural richness that he knew from the Chinese educational system. With this idea in mind, to blend the best of East and West in education, he returned to China in 1994 and establish his first school in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China in 1995. He was the first to integrate a western and Chinese program in China’s K-12 educational system. The Dalian School opened with 14 students. Maple Leaf Educational Systems has now expanded to more than 110 schools and 40,000 students in more than 20 cities across China and schools in Canada, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Dr. Sherman Jen’s vision, diplomacy, and unwavering dedication to blend the best of East and West in education has been foundational to Maple Leaf’s remarkable success. Maple Leaf has provided a world of opportunity for its graduating students. Since 1999, more than 20,000 Maple Leaf grade 12 graduates have studied at over 700 universities in more than 30 countries. More than 95 percent of Maple Leaf’s graduates have successfully transitioned into universities around the globe.

In recognition of his outstanding contributions to global education and citizenship, in June 2013, Dr. Sherman Jen was honoured by Royal Roads University, Victoria, BC, Canada with the conferring of an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree.

Dr. Sherman Jen has received numerous additional awards and recognitions, including: Award for Contributions to China-Canada Education Cooperation granted by British Columbia, Canada; Most Influential Figure of China’s Private Education Award; Liaoning Friendship Award granted by Liaoning Provincial Government; Overseas Chinese Professionals’ Outstanding Entrepreneurship Award granted by Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of China; Outstanding Achievement Award granted by the government of British Columbia Canada; Governor General of Canada’s Medallion; and the Chinese Government’s Friendship Award, the highest award granted to a foreign expert in China.

By being educated to think both Eastern and Western, having teachers and receiving education from both, as well as educated in both English and Mandarin, 20,000+ Maple Leaf graduates are well-positioned to serve as global ambassadors and leaders to blend the best of East and West in understanding and cooperation, and serve as global leaders of tomorrow. What an amazing result from one person’s vision and dedication – Dr. Sherman Jen’s goal to blend the best of East and West in education.

Each year, teaching excellence is recognized across Maple Leaf with the Superintendent’s Award. This award is handed out annually to educators within Maple Leaf that have demonstrated exceptional educational practices. Teachers are nominated by their schools based on criteria that include: classroom pedagogy, positive student relationships, impacts of learning, innovation, and contribution to school community.

This past year we had two recipients of this esteemed award: Mr. James McNamara and Ms. JungA Kim.

“Mr. James” has been actively involved in the development of our downtown students for the past two years and has impacted all levels of learning. His presence has been most notable in our Pre-Kindergarten cohort where he has used his excellent Mandarin skills to help bridge understanding for new language learners and accelerate English spoken language and literacy for our youngest students. Mr. James is back again with us this year as our Grade 2/3 Homeroom teacher at our Downtown Campus. Congratulations Mr. James!

Ms. JungA Kim has been with Maple Leaf since 2017 and MLFNS since 2019. She has had an incredible impact on our Middle School students and has been a huge driver behind our student council. Ms. Kim’s presence has allowed students to develop strong academic written language skills that have allowed MLFNS graduates to place at the top of the system-wide Maple Leaf English Language Test that is used for High School entrance and placement into our World School program. Ms. Kim has returned home to be with family this year, but she is still maintaining a connection to the Maple Leaf family as an online teacher. Congratulations to Ms. Kim!

Teacher-student Communication in 10 minutes

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 06:54:00 GMT

After the school’s online course was launched, she offered to give the students in her class one-on-one oral communication via QQ. Soon she joined the class QQ group and set up different time periods to let the students register according to the time periods. When the students registered the oral communication schedule, she had more than 300 messages to deal with and reply to when her QQ was at its peak, but she did not feel burdened at all. Once, she finished communicating with a parent at about 2 o ‘clock in the evening. She said, “well, I’m really excited because I miss my students.”

The students definitely enjoy the individual attention. They are able to be their best at their own space, without the fear of being ridiculed by their peers. It’s important that the students feel relaxed and comfortable when they are speaking to Lucia, so she allows them the choose video or audio to call on the scheduled day.

By the text comments before and after the speaking sessions, we can tell that the students really appreciate the opportunity to speak on an one-to-one bases. Teacher’s and students’ love between each other is deeply involved in the short 10 minutes.

MLFNS-Dalian Shines at Model United Nations

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 06:45:00 GMT

We sometimes say that our classrooms are like a mini-United Nations, and in December we proved that it’s true! On December 4 and 5, eleven students from Grades 8 and 9 travelled to Maple Leaf International School – Dalian to participate in a Model United Nations conference with high school students. Model United Nations is an academic activity, where students discuss important issues that affect every nation in our world.

Our students represented the perspectives of different countries in the World Health Organization and the General Assembly to reach agreements on different world issues, such as dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, helping refugees fleeing from conflict zones and black market drugs and medication.

This was the first conference for all of our students, and they did an amazing job! Our students had prepared for several weeks in our Language Arts classes, and very quickly realized they had the confidence to stand up and share their opinions with the room.

This kind of activity has students using many of our Core Competencies, such as critical thinking and communication, while they try to find solutions to these issues. As students talk about these problems and learn more about current events, they also become more informed citizens.

Grade 8 student Zuri Qu was recognized with an individual Outstanding Delegate award for her hard work and contributions. Her chair noted that she volunteered to be the main speaker for her group’s resolution, despite it being her very first conference. We congratulate her for this wonderful achievement!

In all, the following students participated and were amazing ambassadors for Maple Leaf F.N.S. Dalian :

• Gracie Chen
• Viva Mlokoti
• Shoan Cooper
• Zuri Qu
• Isaac Lee
• Samhita Bhuvanagiri

Engineer delivers STEM Workshop at MLFNS-Dalian

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 06:40:00 GMT

Dr. Narula demonstrated to students how electricity could be conducted through a variety of common materials, such as the graphite from pencils and fruit and vegetables. He also gave a lecture on safety when using electricity and why it is important to have an understanding of it before doing any experimentation.

During the 90-minute workshop, students had time to experiment with their circuits; some students built functioning pianos made from pencil graphite drawn on paper.

Other groups demonstrated that video game controllers could be made and activated with modelling clay, while others experimented with fruit and vegetables to test conductivity.

Creativity was on display as students played with and tested their circuit boards and other materials to discover what they could do. Students had a lot of fun developing new ideas and problem solving skills during this activity.

MLES and MLFNS-Dalian thank Dr. Narula for giving his time to help students better understand concepts related to electricity.

There is a Canadian ESL teacher in Wuhan Maple Leaf: In order to help Grade 9 students successfully study in high school, he went to visit high school BC classes and learned about what skills that high school students need to master. He often stays at school and works during summer and winter vacations and finishes all the lesson plans and materials of the new semester, he even makes the workbook on his own. He used the weekend time to help and guide the students for the preparation of speech competition. He voluntarily stayed and helped to clean up after each GEP workshop. He is the “encyclopedia ” in bilingual teachers’ eyes. He voluntarily feeds the stray cats on campus… On this winter vacation, he stays on campus as usual and is making preparation for the new semester as usual.

This is an extraordinary winter holiday. It has been 23 days since the school winter holiday began on January 17, and it has been 17 days since Wuhan was closed. Everyone became more and more anxious, but he was positive and optimistic. Every time we talked with him, he said he was well protected and had enough food. As a Grade 9 teacher, he actively communicates with each bilingual teacher in the class, provides additional teaching resources, and undertakes the task of preparing lessons for some sections.

He responded to the school’s suggestion that the resident teacher go out shopping once a week. However, one day, when I received a photo from the director of general affairs, my heart tightened. I thought, why did Ted go out again? He had just been to the supermarket the day before yesterday. You know, Ted is 60 years old, and every time he goes out in these times, we worry about him. So I sent him a friendly reminder to try to go shopping only once a week. When I read Ted’s response, I smiled with relief and tears. It turned out that Ted was not shopping for himself, but for Lucia and her daughter. Lucia has just been here for less than half a year, with a nine-year-old daughter. She wanted to take advantage of the winter vacation to get familiar with Wuhan, but the epidemic took place. She was very nervous and had no means of transportation to go out for shopping. She has just been out one time for some basic stuff but no vegetables. Ted has a scooter and knows where to buy vegetables. In order to be safe, early in the morning, he went out of the door, went to a relatively partial supermarket. There were few people and basically no line on the checkout. He bought there and immediately went back to the school.

I didn’t ask Lucia whether her vegetables were tasty, but I thought they’d find the cold, long winter especially warm.
