THIS & Tsinglan
阳春三月，国际部迎来了清澜山学校的十九位学生,进行了为期一周的深入交流学习活动。在生机勃勃的春日里，清澜山学生的到来让本就朝气蓬勃的国际部校园更加充满了活力。交流活动中，国际部为清澜师生准备了充实而丰富的学习和参观内容，不仅让大家在知识与文化的碰撞中增长了见识、拓宽了眼界，也在融入国际部大家庭的过程中，与国际部同学们培养了深厚的友谊。
让我们一起来回顾这段难忘的交流之旅吧！
有朋自远方来，国际部的师生们都带着十足的热情迎接清澜山学校的同学和老师们。到达学校的第一天，为了缓解清澜师生远道而来的疲惫，国际部特地安排了轻松的参观校园行程。中学部主任Dieu-Anh Nguyen女士带领大家熟悉了校园环境，并给大家介绍了中学部的课程。
为了让清澜学生全面融入国际部的学习生活，每一位同学都会有一位国际部的同班学习伙伴，大家一起学习，相互交流。
国际部第三届模拟联合国会议
本次行程伊始正是国际部第三届模拟联合国会议举办之时，共有四位清澜学生参代表清澜山学校与北京各个国际学校的同学们一起参加了这次活动。经过一天半的讨论，同学们深入体验了如何郑重地“以维护国家主权为前提，立足国家、放眼国际，讨论关乎地球生存发展和人类前途命运的话题”。
热情“家宴”，盛情款待
初春微寒，在结束了首日的学习后，国际部老师们特别准备了热气腾腾的火锅聚会，和清澜师生们一起包饺子，吃火锅，畅聊学习和生活。李文平校长也加入到聚会中，关心着清澜学生在国际部的适应情况，鼓励国际部和清澜山的同学们多多交流，学习上相互支持，生活上相互帮助。大家一同欢歌笑语，在音乐、歌声、舞蹈的烘托下，大聚会已然成了一场国际部和清澜山大家庭和乐融融的家宴。
升学经验倾囊相授
听说国际部本届十二年级的学生们取得了硕果累累的升学成绩，清澜学生们都期待着能与学姐学长们面对面交流。于是，国际部请了多位十二年级学生代表以及优秀校友专门给清澜学生们带来了一场升学经验分享会。学姐学长们介绍了自己的求学、升学经历，同时也分享了许多实用的升学建议。最后，鼓励大家：保持热爱，一直探索、一直思考，不要停下前进的脚步。
中学集会南北相聚，乐趣无穷
在中学部集会中，国际部学生乐队以精彩的乐曲演奏再次热烈欢迎清澜师生们的到来。随后，来自清澜山学校的何臻同学也以一首乌克丽丽乐曲演奏点燃了现场的气氛。国际部的师生都跟着欢快的节奏拍手欢呼，现场燃起一片热烈的掌声和赞叹。清澜学生代表和老师还一同向国际部赠送了精心准备的书法作品，“若知四海皆兄弟，何处相逢非故人”，这简短的14个字，礼轻情意重，道明了清澜山学校和清华附中国际部这两个姊妹学校虽隔万里，却爱深情长。
参观清华实验室，感受科研精神
为让清澜学生近距离感受真实科研，国际部老师带领着大家前往清华大学的生物、物理和人工智能实验室进行了参观学习。同学们不仅对大学的科学研究项目有了更多的了解，也感受到了清华人持之以恒的科研精神，意识到科研需要做到在重复的实验中思考，在思考中创新。
参观清华艺博，静览艺术之美
走进清华校园，自然不能错过清华大学艺术博物馆的展览。所以，国际部老师带领着清澜学生们到清华艺博参观了最近热门的胸针展——“铭心”。同学们欣赏的不光是胸针精致的外表，同时还有它背后的历史、它所象征的社会文化。
解密学府楼宇，顿悟建筑之语
另外，国际部还特别请到了清华大学历史系的董士伟老师为同学们介绍了清华的建筑群，让同学们对清华大学的建筑有了深刻的认识，不仅学会了欣赏建筑的层次和颜色设计所表达的美学，同时也读懂了其中的艺术语言。
回顾感想
Dieu-Anh Nguyen, 中学部主任

伴随着春天的到来，国际部迎来了我们的姐妹学校——清澜山学校的同学们。这群年少而热情的八年级和九年级学生带着开放的心来到这里，和我们分享他们热情的个性和对学习的热爱。我们的学生，同样真诚地欢迎朋友的到来，并且相互结交了深厚的友谊。
看到学生们如此自然和友好的相处，我觉得我们的工作变得更加特别和有意义。也许我们经常被日常的压力和 “长大 “的问题所困扰，而忘记了欣赏眼前的一切。这次交流活动的初衷是为了丰富学生们的学习交流经验，但我想同时它也丰富了我的经验。学生们的活力也感染了我，让我感到振奋，相信这个学年接下来的校园生活会更加精彩！

“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？”清澜山学生的到访无疑是疫情过后，校园的更加开放给孩子们带来的一个惊喜。青春期的孩子很喜欢交朋友，尤其是远方来的朋友，总是让他们充满好奇和兴奋。学习不仅是在课堂里发生，更是在交流中相长。此次到访还未结束之时，孩子们就已经开始对出访清澜山充满了期待。让我们一起期盼未来更多的“走进来”和“走出去”的活动！

在Kunkun和Charles两位学习伙伴的陪伴中，我在国际部度过了难忘的一周。他们带着我参观了学校，尽管校园并不是很大，但在这里我感受到了国际部大家庭温馨和团结的氛围。我和这里的每一位同学和老师都相处得很好。
Huikun Zhang, 国际部学生
我的伙伴Lucas真的很热情，也很有运动天赋。他很喜欢和大家交流，也很喜欢学校的伙食，总想尝遍咖啡厅的所有食物。他还和我们一起上课，法语课我们也是一起。总之，他完全融入了我们整个班级。

就在我初到国际部面对那么多新同学的时候，我的学习同伴Amy出现了。她带着我参观了学校，向我介绍了这里的一切。她的陪伴让我很快融入了温暖的国际部大家庭。对我来说，这是一段有趣的学习经历，国际部的同学和老师们都特别友好。如果有机会，我希望能够再来国际部。
Amy Liu, 国际部学生
我很高兴能有一周的时光和Miranda一起学习，她也和我分享了很多关于清澜山学校的课程。和清澜同学的火锅聚会真的很有趣。希望在不久的将来，我们能够再见面!
THIS & Tsinglan
时光荏苒，一周的交流活动转眼就到了分别的时候。相信清澜山和国际部的同学们在相互陪伴中，不仅学习了满满的知识，也收获了一段美好的友谊。
南北相聚，情同一家，相信国际部和清澜山学校的深厚情谊会继续生长，我们期待着日后相互开展更多样的交流活动，增进交流，共话成长，双向赋能，共创美好未来。
THIS & Tsinglan
In March, THIS welcomed 19 students from Tsinglan School for a week-long exchange trip. The arrival of Tsinglan students added an extra burst of energy and excitement to the already vibrant THIS campus. THIS prepared a series of enriching activities for their Tsinglan classmates designed to deepen their knowledge, broaden their horizons, and cultivate meaningful friendships.
Let’s recap this unforgettable exchange trip together!
With friends coming from afar, THIS welcomed the arrival of Tsinglan students and teachers with full enthusiasm. On the first day, THIS arranged a relaxing campus tour in order to relieve the tiredness of the Tsinglan visitors. Ms. Dieu-Anh Nguyen, THIS Secondary Director, led the group to familiarize themselves with the campus and gave them an introduction to the secondary curriculum and weekly schedule. Each Tsinglan student was integrated into a homeroom as well as given a THIS buddy, someone with whom they can study together, ask questions, and share memories.
2023 THIS Model UN Conference
To kick off the exchange, the Tsinglan students attended the 2023 THIS Model United Nations Conference. Four Tsinglan students directly participated as delegates in the event on joining dozens of students from other international schools in Beijing. After a day and a half of conference, the students learned how to solemnly “take national sovereignty as the premise, based on the country, look at the international, discuss the topic of the survival and development of the earth and the future destiny of mankind”.
Family Dinner
After the first day of study, THIS staff prepared a family dinner party where everyone made dumplings and enjoyed delicious hotpot. The Tsinglan students, their chaperones, THIS homeroom teachers and the buddies ate, chatted, sang, and played instruments. Principal Wenping Li also joined the party to encourage THIS and Tsinglan students to communicate more, support each other in study and help each other in life. The family dinner was full of joy and happiness.
College Application Sharing Session
Hearing about the fruitful results of the THIS Class 2023 students, Tsinglan students looked forward to meeting the THIS seniors. A select group of grade 12 students and outstanding alumni were invited to host a sharing session. The seniors talked about their college application experiences and offered practical advice. Overall, they encouraged their younger “brothers and sisters” to keep the love for learning, keep exploring, keep thinking, and do not stop moving forward.
Secondary Assembly
During the secondary assembly, the various THIS student bands once again gave wonderful musical performance. Justin He from Tsinglan also lit up the stage with a performance on his ukelele. The audience clapped along with the upbeat rhythm, which ignited a round of applause and admiration. Tsinglan student representatives and teachers also presented THIS with their elaborate calligraphy works, “If we know that we are connected, we will meet as old friends wherever we are.” These short words, with a light touch, show the love between the two schools.
The Tsinghua Labs
To give the students a close experience with real research, they visited the biology, physics and artificial intelligence laboratories of Tsinghua University. Led by THIS teachers, the students learned about the university’s scientific research projects and felt the persistent research spirit of Tsinghua-ers realizing that research needs both repetitive experiments and innovate thinking.
Tsinghua Art Museum
When on the Tsinghua campus, one should miss the exhibitions at the Tsinghua Art Museum! The Tsinglan students viewed the current and very popular brooch exhibition. The students appreciated not only the exquisite appearance of the brooches, but also was captivated by the history and social culture behind them.
Tsinghua architecture
THIS invited Mr. Shiwei Dong from the Department of History of Tsinghua University to introduce the Tsinghua buildings to Tsinglan students. They gained a deeper understanding of the buildings. Not only did the students learn to appreciate the aesthetics expressed by the layers and color design, but they also learned to read the language of art in them.
Reflections
Ms. Dieu-Anh Nguyen
Secondary Director

With the promise of new beginnings along with the spring, THIS welcomed our classmates from our sister school, the Tsinglan School in Dongguan. This small, enthusiastic group of grade 8 and 9 students came to us with open hearts sharing their passions, personalities, and love for learning. Our students, in exchange, proudly reciprocated and made new life-long friends.
Seeing the students come together so naturally and earnestly makes my work special and such a privilege. We often get bogged down with the daily stresses and “grown up” problems that we forget to appreciate what is right in front of our eyes. Though the exchange was aimed to enrich the students’ school experience, it certainly enriched mine. I once again am re-energized and recommitted to finish the schoolyear strong!
Ms. Weiky Liu
Assistant Secondary Director

“Isn’t it nice to have friends from far away?” The visit of Tsinglan students and teachers was certainly a surprise to THIS students after the epidemic and the greater openness of the campus. Adolescents love to make friends, especially friends from afar, and they are always curious and excited. Learning does not only happen in the class, but also grows through communication. Even before the visit was over, the students were already looking forward to their visit to Qinglan School. Let’s look forward to more “coming in” and “going out” activities in the future!

Lucas，Tsinglan
My week at THIS was only made possible by my buddies Kunkun and Charles. They showed me all around the school. Even though the school may not be as big as Tsinglan I felt that the community here in THIS is very united. The atmosphere here was great and everyone was friendly and willing to talk to me. In general, I enjoyed my stay.
Huikun Zhang, THIS
My buddy Lucas is really enthusiastic and athletic. He liked to communicate with everybody. He also loves the food at THIS, and wanted to try everything in the cafeteria. He also engaged in a lot of the classes, and he learned some French along with us. He fitted into the whole class.
Miranda & Amy Liu

Miranda, Tsinglan
I was lost in the sea of students when I saw Amy. She led me around the school and showed me everything. I felt appreciated and accepted by the THIS community. I gained an interesting learning experience, and THIS is a really friendly welcoming community. If I ever get a chance to come here, it would be my pleasure.
Amy Liu, THIS
It’s my pleasure to help Miranda for this week. She shared a lot about courses in her school. Eating hotpot with Tsinglan students was very fun. Wish we can meet again!
THIS & Tsinglan
Time flew by with the week of exchange activities coming to an end. We believe that Tsinglan and THIS students have learned a lot from each other while developing meaningful friendships.
We are looking forward to more exchange activities ahead – to enhance communication, to grow together, to empower each other, and to create a better future together.
