• 25.teaching blocks/week (40 mins/block) in Preschool, Elementary School and Middle School;
  
• Office hour: 9 hours/day including lunch break
  

Students are in at least 12 classes of English per week. Half of these class sessions are taught by Chinese trained English teachers, using our own published Maple Leaf textbooks, entitled Maple Leaf English and Maple Leaf English for Young Learners. The other half of the English lessons are taught by international English teachers using theOxford Press English Program and other resources.

While Maple Leaf's elementary and middle schools' English programs do build strong English vocabularies and comprehension abilities, Maple Leaf's ESL Program also emphasizes using English in various settings. Units include skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar.
