Are you aware of the power of language?
Beyond being a tool for communication, language holds immense potential in shaping thoughts, perspectives, and cultural understanding. It opens doors to different viewpoints, allowing for a deeper connection with the world. English, a global lingua franca, connects over 1.4 billion people, bridging gaps across countries and communities.
In schools around the world, English as Second Language (ESL) has become an essential part of the curriculum. For many, mastering English unlocks opportunities, builds confidence, and fosters a sense of belonging. We understand the importance of communication, and most importantly, we are committed to helping our students excel in English.
At Kingsley, English is not just a subject—it’s a way of life. We believe that the ability to communicate confidently in English opens up a world of possibilities for our students. Whether they are native speakers or learning English as Second Language, we ensure that every student is mentored and guided to achieve fluency.
From an early age, students at Kingsley begin their journey with a strong foundation. Our Early Years Department (EYD) programme, including nursery students, engages in phonics, science, and English lessons. By learning the language from multiple angles, learning English becomes a natural process by using these foundational skills. As they progress through each level, the focus on language development continues, incorporating reading, writing, and speaking into every aspect of their education.
But we don’t stop there—English is also integrated into other subjects, such as science and the arts. This ensures that students are not just learning English in isolation but applying it in real-world scenarios, enhancing their fluency and confidence.
Did you know that the home environment plays a crucial role in learning languages? To support our students even further, offer complimentary English classes for parents. We believe that when parents are equipped with the same language skills, it creates a stronger bond between home and school.
These English classes are designed to help parents support their children’s language development and feel more connected to the school, as well as the community. Whether they are foreign parents or those who simply wish to improve their English, our complimentary classes make a big difference in ensuring that everyone at Kingsley speaks the same language—literally and metaphorically.

It’s time to talk the talk and walk the walk: Meet Kevin!
He’s a student at Maple Leaf Kingsley International School who experienced an incredible transformation in his language skills. Originally from South Korea, Kevin had little confidence in speaking English when he first arrived. But thanks to the structured and supportive environment at Kingsley, he quickly gained confidence.
Kevin’s journey is a testament to the school’s approach to language learning. Through the English Enhancement Programme, lessons tailored to his needs and Kingsley’s immersive, English-speaking environment, Kevin went from a hesitant speaker to a fluent communicator. His success story has not only impressed his teachers but also inspired other students who are on similar journeys.
Language learning at Maple Leaf Kingsley International School isn’t confined to the classroom. Our Early Years Department (EYD) students, for instance, participate in various activities that make learning fun and engaging. One highlight is English Week, a celebration where students participate in immersive language activities.
This special week includes storytelling, reading competitions, and performances that encourage students to express themselves creatively in English.
During English Week, EYD students also explore various themes, such as “Australian Animals,” combining fun with language learning. This allows students to expand their vocabulary while engaging with the natural world around them.
By fostering a love for the language early on, Maple Leaf Kingsley International School ensures that students develop strong English skills that will benefit them throughout their academic careers.
At Maple Leaf Kingsley International School, English is not just taught—we create an environment where students naturally learn and apply the language. Our dedicated teachers work closely with students, using a combination of teaching methods that cater to different learning styles.
For younger students, phonics and visual aids help build vocabulary and pronunciation. For older students, more complex lessons like debates and presentations challenge them to think critically and communicate effectively in English. This well-rounded approach ensures that every student, regardless of their starting point, can achieve fluency.
In addition, pastoral care plays a significant role in helping students feel supported throughout their language-learning journey. Whether it’s one-on-one guidance or group learning, we ensure that students have the resources and encouragement they need to succeed.
At Maple Leaf Kingsley International School, language is not just taught—it’s lived! From the youngest EYD student to parents taking complimentary classes, Kingsley creates a community where English is embraced, learned, and celebrated. After all, language is not just a tool for communication—it’s a bridge to the world. Be part of the community that makes us a stepping stone for the next generation!
