Hybrid, not international – we are a local school with a global mindset
Sayora is the place where the Romanian educational experience blends harmoniously with the Canadian Maple Bear excellence.
Maple Bear Cluj – Sayora Elementary School follows all local Romanian education regulations while integrating Canadian teaching methodologies with the national curriculum. This dual approach ensures that students are academically prepared within the local context while benefiting from a global perspective, allowing for a smooth transition between the Canadian and local systems throughout their entire educational journey.
Maple Bear’s curriculum, inspired by Canada’s renowned educational practices, takes a whole-child approach, blending academic rigor with creativity, self-expression, and critical thinking. Our bilingual programs integrate Language Arts, math, science, and social studies, nurturing cognitive, emotional, and social growth while fostering a lifelong love of learning.
The Maple Bear curriculum is created in Canada by Canadian experts, the Maple Bear Faculty – a distinguished team of 150+ expert Canadian educators. Responsible for writing the curriculum, faculty members continually update the material to reflect the latest in research and Canadian educational practices.
At Maple Bear, we prepare students for the future by nurturing essential soft skills. Through our innovative Canadian education model, these skills are seamlessly integrated into daily learning, empowering students with the confidence and emotional intelligence to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. This dedication to holistic, future-ready education is at the heart of our mission.
Bilingual education is the use of two different languages in the classroom instruction of academic content. At Maple Bear, students study all academic subjects in either their native language or a second language, depending on the subject and grade level. Research shows that immersion is the best method of learning an additional language.
Maple Bear schools benefit from our distinguished academic faculty of Canadian trainers, curriculum writers and quality assurance personnel. Each school undergoes annual inspections to ensure safety, academic excellence, and quality facilities. Our goal is to establish schools that provide a secure, enriching learning environment designed to prepare students for a bright future.
The Romanian national curriculum is implemented in accordance with the standards and regulations set by the Ministry of Education, ensuring a solid academic foundation and a clear progression of competencies for each grade level. At Maple Bear Cluj – Sayora Elementary School, we fully follow the national curriculum, and all classes are taught by qualified teachers with extensive experience in the Romanian educational system. The curriculum is periodically updated at the national level to meet modern learning requirements and to ensure continuity throughout the child's academic development.
The Maple Bear mission is to deliver a student-focussed learning system in a safe, secure and stimulating environment that prepares students for success at the post secondary level and that instills a passion for life-long learning.
Educational Excellence
Passion for Learning
Multiculturism and respect towards differences
The Maple Bear vision is to provide a high quality pre-school, elementary and high school education based on the Canadian philosophy and best practises that meet the expectations of global parents and is in conformity with local education regulations.
As educators, we have a responsibility to nurture the next generation of leaders. At Maple Bear, we teach personal responsibility inside the classroom as part of your daily routine and global awareness outside of it.
Soft skills and character building are just as important components of the curriculum as are academic subjects. We believe that to face the challenges of the future, we need young people who can think critically and solve problems creatively beyond having good academic performance.
The Maple Bear program teaches tolerance and mutual respect from the earliest years, integrates leadership explicitly in the later years, and consistently encourages students to participate in community service and social responsibility initiatives.
