History Maple Leaf P.S. is named after the symbol of Canada, the maple leaf.
"Maple Leaf Pride" is our motto. Our school mascot is a lion.
Facilities In March 1958, Maple Leaf P.S. began as a one-room portable at the corner of Longford Drive and Gwillimbury. Seventeen students from grades 1 to 8 attended the school at that time. Many additions occurred over the years as the enrolment increased. We have approximately 20 classrooms, a computer lab within our library, a community room and a double gym, which is a shared facility with the Town Newmarket. Our yard houses Maple Leaf Gardens (our adventure playground), and outdoor classroom, a soccer field, and many basketball hoops & nets.
Maple Leaf P.S. was officially opened in 1959. Many subsequent additions were made including the years 1960, 1972(library) and 1981 (gymnasium). A major renovationduring Spring/Summer touched every part of our school building including new windows, doors, some flooring, classroom cloakrooms and cupboards, fire system, ventilation and new vestibule in the foyer.
