About ,MLES
Maple leaf education systems (MLES)was established in 1995 and represents the vision of Mr.Shenman Jen, Founder & CEO, to operate a high quality, externally accredited, private school in China. The educational system Mr.Jen introduced is a blend of the model he had witnessed while living in BC. Canada , with the strengths and cultural riches that exist in the Chinese system.
MLES is a comprehensive, integrated educational system with over 30schools from pre-school to high school offering both Canadian and Chinese graduation diplomas for grades 10-12. ESL is an important component of our educational system preparing our students in all levels of our school system to meet the challenges of the all-English high school program. MLES has made a commitment to increase the number of hours each week that students study English and to ensure that qualified native speakers teach at least 50% of these classes.
