Principal’s Message

Hello from Maple Leaf Foreign Nationals’ School – Yiwu!

 

At Maple Leaf Foreign Nationals’ School – Yiwu (MLFNS – Y) our mission is to blend the best of the East and the West to provide an excellent education program that prepares students for success in the international world of tomorrow. MLFNS – Y provides an elite education for students with English as the primary language of communication. Using the guidance of Maple Leaf’s Four Core Values of “Respect, Responsibility, Hard-Work, and Honesty”, our students respect each other, trust each other, and grow together.

 

MLFNS – Y is a grade 1 – 12 school, with a graduate program that is recognized all over the world. All our graduates will receive the Province of British Columbia’s Dogwood Diploma. Since this diploma is backed a Canadian government, it has been used to enter university programs in every country and university. A graduate of MLFNS – Yiwu truly has the world open to them.

 

MLFNS – Y encourages an “English-Only” learning atmosphere. It’s the common language that binds all of us together while we live in Yiwu. We encourage students to read, write, speak and listen to English as much as possible in both school and home

 

We are very excited to welcome students from all over the world and count over 20 nationalities in our school. On behalf of myself and the FNS staff, we welcome all backgrounds, religions and peoples to join.

 

Mr. Edgar Arca, Principal of MLFNS-Yiwu
