Canadian school Maple Bear officially announced its entry on the Romanian market, where it plans to develop more than 10 early childhood and elementary schools in a franchise system. These schools can later grow to high schools.

“We are entering Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region and looking for local partners to set up schools in Romania. Our schools have unique positioning on the market. Maple Bear conforms to local education regulations, offering fully articulated local curricula in addition to the Canadian program and methodology. This opens up many more educational options for Maple Bear students locally and internationally”, said Yann Bidan, General Manager of Maple Bear Central and Eastern Europe.

The Canadian educational methodology focuses on preparing children for lifelong learning, success and being global citizens.

Started 12 years ago, Maple Bear is present today in 16 countries around the globe with over 300 early childhood, elementary and high schools and more than 35,000 students. French Romanian businessman Yann Bidan is the one who brought this concept to Central & Eastern Europe.
