Maplewood Magazine 2026-2027

October Edition

The official magazine of Maplewood Canadian International School, in English and in Arabic. Sixty pages on what the school has built and who builds it: the decade of digital teaching behind its Google campus, the AI Academy, the clubs, the early years, and the teachers and leaders behind them.

Inside this edition

  • A message from the Chairman: education inspired by the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed, for residents and citizens alike
  • Before the market existed: how a conversation about Chromebooks in 2014 became a decade of digital teaching
  • Two days, no timetable: the days that turned a stated ambition into something students could put their hands on
  • A teacher that cannot be hurried: riding taught as part of school life rather than as an occasional outing
  • Past being impressed: an academy inside the school for students who want to build with artificial intelligence rather than only use it
  • Maplewood clubs: the equestrian club, the AI lab, the sports academy, the science lab and the readers club
  • Not a waiting room: the years before Grade 1 are where the habits that make school possible are built
  • An Emirati school that teaches the world, and what more than fifty countries in one classroom teaches that no lesson can
  • What a fully AI campus means: what the school is actually committing to, and what it is deliberately not
  • Our leadership: the Principal, the Vice Principal and ten members of staff on their subjects and what keeps them at Maplewood
