Message from Our Principal Dear Parents & Guardians, Merry Christmas and Season’s Greetings!
Maple Leaf International School is a private co-educational, independent day school offering classes from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Established in 1994, and located in Alyce Heights, Petit Valley, Maple Leaf is registered with both the Ministry of Education in Trinidad & Tobago and Ontario, Canada. Graduates earn an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, in compliance with the curriculum requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Education. The school places a balanced emphasis on academics, service achievements, leadership opprtunities, as well as athletics and the arts. Maple Leaf offers a seamless transition from elementary to secondary school with a supportive and close-knit community of students, parents, staff and alumni.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family the best of the season. The younger children have visions of receiving all the goodies on their Santa list, while the older students are looking forward to the parties, sleeping in and liming with their friends. Parents will just have to make time to enjoy these busy times. I wish, for you all, that this Christmas brings lots of love, peace and happiness. Stay healthy and blessed throughout the coming year. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year. Debora Jones Principal
