We are very proud of the accomplishment of our accreditation. It is attained through achieving high standards of performance in programming and assessment. Having Alberta, Canadian certified teachers is an accreditation requirement for every teacher teaching in the Canadian program. Canadian Teacher training is exceptional and highly prized around the world. We strive to hire Canadian Teachers, many of our teachers are Canadian. Those that come from other countries add to the mosaic of our school and have all gone through the scrutiny of Alberta, Canadian certification due to their training in similar University programs abroad. All of our teachers measure up to the high Canadian standard that our program demands of them.

In addition to the strong academics, the school offers well rounded opportunities for students to participate in extracurricular activities including sports, arts and drama. Maplewood Canadian International School was awarded the highest commendation in the region for the innovative ways we support student learning with technology. Students use laptops to support their learning. A major focus of our efforts is dedicated to always ensuring digital awareness and safety. When the school shifted to an Online Learning model due to the COVID 19 pandemic, our students and staff transitioned effectively. Abu Dhabi Education and Knowledge ranked Maplewood at the top for the smooth transition in the face of this challenge.

Students from Grade 3 to 12 have their own dedicated device to support learning while younger students use technology within the classroom as part of their lessons on a daily basis. The school is fully equipped with interactive whiteboards or digital screens in all instructional spaces. Reliable High Speed WiFi is available throughout the entire facility. Mastering the use of the internet is a requirement for all students and teachers. The technical skills of our students support them in problem solving through research and project based learning as common modes of instruction in our school.

Academic facilities include a learning commons with over 10,000 titles in print and/or digital format making it one of the finest school libraries in Abu Dhabi. Language development in reading and writing is emphasized in all classes and subjects. For most of our students, English is not their first language. Our teachers know this and ensure that their instructional techniques take this into consideration. All teachers are English teachers first, who may then teach mathematics, science, art etc.

A competitive size swimming pool, large gymnasium and sports field provides space for physical activities. Covered play areas and other spaces increase the areas for students. KG and Primary students have dedicated creative playgrounds.
