[quote=GUEST42673,320688]I'm a graduate student of Dalian Maple Leaf High School class 2006, I studied there for 4 years, from Grade 9. To be honest, its curriculum has much less variations than that of real American or Canadian schools. However, compared to those of local Chinese schools, it definitely is more lively and has more extra-curriculum activities. The high school campus is surrounded by ocean and located in the Golf resort area, so there is little to do around there. Also it is a boarding school, so students would be expected to live on campus. In some exceptional cases, such as for foreign students who live close by from the campus, are allowed to commute to school everyday if you apply. I lived on campus but I had a few friends (one Danish, one American, one Israli) who lived in Kaifaqu, which is a 20 min ride on the Qing-gui train. Students who live on campus are allowed to go off campus on the weekends for a certain amount of hours. There is a teachers' residential area right by the campus and it's very spacious and cozy. For families of the students, I wouldn't recommend to live around that area, there is no shopping malls whatsoever. Most families live in Kaifaqu or Dalian city. The school does not provide for housing for the families, so you better start looking for a suitable apartment/house now. As for tuition, it is quite costly for living in China. If my memory serves right, it was about 100,000 RMB for the whole highschool years. This does not include food, uniform or transportation. Only covers for tuition, textbooks and housing. That is why the school is also known as "The royal's school" by the locals. Don't say you are going to Maple Leaf unless you are ok with being ripped off. One thing I liked about Maple Leaf is the PE classes. There is a beautiful soccer field and a small field hockey rink, tennis court and in the gym building they had a gym room, basketball court, ping-pong room and a shower room. Although I think the gym room and shower room was only available for the teachers. I hope my info helped.[/quote]
