The Maplewood Way
our mission
At Maplewood Academy, our school motto is “Simul Esse Independens”, which means, “Be independent, together”. With this in mind, our goal is to create a constantly evolving environment in which children are able to develop their inherent curiosity and inquisitive nature through exploration and discovery.
Our mission is to nurture the seeds of individuality, so that they may blossom into trees of charisma and wisdom. Each of our lessons embraces and encourages the creativity in each child, and allows them to explore that creativity in several different ways. The core Language and Math lessons foster basic logical thinking skills, whereas the Arts and Sciences lessons provide the children with opportunities to develop their critical thinking, social and interaction skills, as well as reflect on their individuality. Maplewood Academy offers all of the above in a safe, friendly and nurturing environment where they are free to play and learn with the guidance of our expert early childhood educators.
our philosophy
At Maplewood Academy, we hold both care and education to a very high standard. We firmly believe that, given opportunities, each of our students will grow to be respectful, open-minded, cooperative, adaptable, independent and inquisitive. These key traits are built into every lesson, as they are crucial to fostering the critical thinking skills necessary to be successful in every child’s academic career, as well as life in general. Many early education experts have stated that children learn best through play, and Maplewood Academy agrees. We have spent many years developing a curriculum that encourages and spotlights this idea. Here's how:
Growth and Potential
Our classroom environment is purposefully designed to foster a passion for learning and developing oneself. We cater each lesson to develop the lifelong characteristics necessary for each child to be successful.
Academics
Our curriculum is broken down into exciting Themes meant to entertain and educate simultaneously. These ‘big ideas’ serve as a backbone for all of the lessons, which allows the students to focus in on topics that interest them.
Exploration
The different topics that our Themes are built around encourage free-thinking and creativity, which nourishes each student’s individuality. Lessons are crafted so that the students are guided down a path of discovery. This way, they are learning how to find answers for themselves, rather than simply learning the answer itself.
