Negative experience: Is this academy closed now? I've tried calling them many times at different times, but no one answers! No one is picking up the phone. I think this school is permanently closed now!
Hello Joseph, please email [email protected] to contact us. Thank you.
Negative experience: Useless, i asked them if they have english courses for kids, they don't have it.
Hi Essam, that is correct. We do not have year round English courses for children. We do have youth summer camps. If you are interested in classes for your children and currently reside in Calgary, we suggest you contact Calgary Board of Education.
Negative experience: I had my exam there but the staff was not very helpful, they got us seated in the centre an hour before the start and I had to use the bathroom in emergency which I was not allowed to do, I agree and understand all the rules, but sitting there an hour before the actual exam because they were slow at the process was not my fault, if I had to use the bathroom I had to do that but as they didn’t let me it messed up my listening session.
Hi Lovepreet, please send your concerns to IDP Canada, as it is their staff and test rules that facilitate the IELTS test. We are only the venue. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Maple Leaf Academy! I took my exam on 26th July and got my result today — I’m so happy to achieve my desired band. The staff were very polite, cooperative, and supportive throughout the process. A special thanks to Arshdeep Singh Sir for the speaking test — he has a very nice way of talking and made me feel comfortable. The seating area was good, and the listening headsets worked perfectly. Overall, an excellent experience. Thank you to the whole team!
