Boarding
Student Life ｜ Residential
“At Maplewood, boarding is a celebration of diversity in action. Our students don’t just
live together—they learn from one another every day. It’s global citizenship, lived.”
— Evan El-Saden, Director of Residential Life
At Maplewood Academy, boarding is more than just a living arrangement—it’s a
community, a culture, and a catalyst for lifelong growth. Our boarding students bring diverse
perspectives, vibrant energy, and global insight to our school, enriching the daily experience for
everyone on campus.
Location
Rooted in Midtown, Connected to the World
Located in the heart of midtown Toronto, Maplewood Academy offers students a unique balance of structured independence and urban access. From cultural festivals to internships, museums to tech incubators, Toronto is a safe, multicultural city that serves as an extension of
the classroom—full of opportunity and inspiration.
Hubs of Friendship and Support
While our boarding community is intentionally small and close-knit, its presence is felt across campus. Our residence halls are more than just places to sleep—they are hubs of collaboration, friendship, and support. Students gather to share meals, prepare for exams, relax after class, and build lasting bonds that extend far beyond graduation.
A Head Start for Future Leaders
Boarding students at Maplewood benefit from our rigorous AP academic pathways, personalized university advising, and opportunities for leadership and exploration that set them apart in the admissions process. They go on to top universities around the world, prepared not only academically but also socially and emotionally for life in a global society. As many of our graduates reflect, boarding gave them a head start—academically, personally, and professionally.
