Along with the two public elementary schools Maple Leaf is home to a handful of private schools. 
*[[The Fairview School]]: A K-8th grade school affiliated with the [[Church of God (Anderson, Indiana)|Church of God]].<ref>{{cite web|title=About the Fairview Church|url=http://www.thefairviewchurch.org/about.html|publisher=The Fairview Church|accessdate=29 December 2013}}</ref> The building was built in 1908 and housed a public elementary school for 70 years. After the school closed the site was put up for bid, with the neighborhood fiercely opposing a plan to convert the school to low-income housing units. Originally the site was sold to the [[Pacific Northwest Ballet]] but after that deal fell through the Woodland Park Avenue Church purchased the building.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.seattleschools.org/modules/groups/homepagefiles/cms/1583136/File/Departmental%20Content/history%20book/fairview.pdf|work=Built for Learning: Seattle Public Schools History|publisher=Seattle Public Schools|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141222024036/http://www.seattleschools.org/modules/groups/homepagefiles/cms/1583136/File/Departmental%20Content/history%20book/fairview.pdf|title=Fairview|archivedate=22 December 2014}}</ref>
