S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The expansion of Maple Bear<\/a> school network includes the Middle East, where the company is already in operation and plans on opening more locations soon. Recently acquired by Brazilian education group Seb, Maple Bear plans to reach 39 countries next year, including locations in the Middle East, Central Europe, the United States, and Asia. Its headquarters is in Toronto, Canada, where it was first established. Before taking full ownership of Maple Bear, Seb already owned 70% of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with ANBA, Maple Bear Global Schools CEO Jos\u00e9 Henrique Del Castillo Melo says the company widened its international network from 21 to 31 countries and will reach eight more foreign destinations by the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maple Bear in the Middle East<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough we\u2019ve been present in Middle East countries for quite some time, we\u2019re excited about the opportunities, and we see a strong convergence between expectations from governments and families and the world-class educational model we provide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company is operational in the United Arab Emirates and Oman, among other countries. He explains that to work in different regions and cultures, the company develops \u201cunique models\u201d that take into account cultural, regulatory aspects and family expectations \u201cwhile preserving the educational approach and methodology that led us to become the world\u2019s biggest bilingual schools,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This educational model, explains Melo, is developed by the company part in Canada, part in each country it\u2019ll operate in, \u201cwithin an intense, complex framework of training for teachers and school leaders and a detailed quality certification process aimed to ensure the excellence of academic services we provide in each classroom,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion is conducted via franchises alongside regional partnerships. \u201cThese regional joint venture partners run the operation in each country, allowing a variety of investors \u2013 notably school construction and conversion and franchising \u2013 to contribute to change the educational landscape in their countries,\u201d says Melo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seb group belongs to Lebanese Brazilian entrepreneur Chaim Zaher, who works in preschool, primary education, secondary education, and tertiary education. Some of the schools owned by the group are Escola Bil\u00edngue Pueri Domus, Sphere International School, Centro Universit\u00e1rio Unidombosco, and Escola Carolina Patr\u00edcio. The institution has 62,000 students across 450 schools. In Brazil it\u2019s operational in 141 cities, where it has 239 schools with 39,000 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
