Maple Bear Global Schools is an international network of educational institutions offering Canadian bilingual education programs worldwide. The organization operates over 490 schools across 37 countries, providing education from early childhood through high school levels.

The schools offer English immersion programs at preschool levels and bilingual programs at elementary, middle, and high school levels, preparing students for continued education either in their home countries or abroad. Maple Bear also offers Bear Care infant care and early learning programs for children aged 6 weeks to 24 months. The organization originated from the Canadian Education Centre Network, a non-profit supported by the Government of Canada, and continues to expand into new countries including Australia and Ghana in 2025. They emphasize ecological competency alongside traditional academic subjects and host global conferences for educators and partners.
