Dual Language

Maplewood currently hosts a dual language classroom in grade levels KG - 5th.

The mission of the Austin ISD Dual Language Program is that students will develop a high academic and linguistic proficiency in two languages by participating in a rigorous academic program that enhances the development of bilingualism, biculturalism, and biliteracy so that students will graduate ready for college, career, and life in a globally competitive economy.

Creative Learning Initiative

Drama-based instructional methods are infused in lessons at every grade level.

The R.E.A.L. Campaign

Respect, Empathy, Action, Leadership Campaign is a whole-school movement that redefines how we coexist, care, and lead together. It’s not about rules or compliance—it’s about building a culture where students and adults alike act with dignity, broaden their perspectives, and take meaningful steps to challenge harm, bias, and exclusion.

Maplewood Gardens

Parent volunteers, in collaboration with teachers, staff, and students, maintain school gardens across our beautiful campus. Each classroom teacher has his/her own garden plot in which to learn. Some classes plant food, and others plant flowers and herbs. In years past, with parent support, Maplewood students created salad bowls in art class then filled them with veggies from our school gardens during an annual Harvest Lunch. Maplewood Garden Work Days occur monthly on the first Sunday from 9-12, and help keep our campus green and growing.

Maplewood Science Fair

Every year, students in K-5th grades hypothesize, experiment, collect and analyze data then report their results during our annual science fair in January. The top 12 projects advance to the Regional Science Fair hosted by Austin Energy.
