When asked what is your favorite class, the second graders all said, “our reading workshop is fun. The teachers always read interesting stories and encourage us to read a variety of books together.” Also, everyone enjoys the art and music classes, where students can make crafts, paint together, and learn to sing nice songs. The children also wanted to share their stories about their teachers and their love for them. The children’s words were full of their love for the campus, showing that all of them fully enjoyed the atmosphere of a happy family, learning and growing in this warm community.





初中部

Middle School



刚刚进入初中的六年级同学们对未来的学习生活有着无限憧憬。午餐会时，谈及对学校最喜爱的地方，他们都说，在国际部，不论是在学习中，还是校园活动，或是餐饮，都有丰富的选择，同学们可以自己做决定，这让大家在不同方面都体会到自己的进步与成长。在课程方面，大家都一致地说到，非常喜欢“项目式学习”的模式，比起单纯的记笔记和听讲，同学们觉得和团队一起探索项目更能获得成就感。老师们会通过有趣的课堂形式激发大家的探索兴趣，同时大家也要学会运用各个学科的知识去面对学习中的挑战。在这个过程中，每位同学都能感受到，不仅自己的综合能力得到了提升，和同学的友谊也更加深厚了。同学们觉得，在学校，大家有很多机会能够发挥自己的兴趣爱好和特长，并且不断得到锻炼。


For the students just entering our middle school, they had endless expectations for the future. When it comes to what they like most about THIS, they all said that the school provides students with various choices of courses, school activities, and meals. This allows them to experience growth and progress in different aspects. In terms of the curriculum, all of them unanimously said that they liked the “project-based learning” model because they felt that they could gain a sense of accomplishment by exploring projects with a team rather than just taking notes and listening to teachers. Moreover, the teachers stimulate their interest for exploration and they learn to apply the knowledge of various subjects in different situations. With this process, each student feel that their overall competence has improved along with their friendships with their classmates were deepened. “We can feel that the school always provides opportunities and platforms for us to fully develop our interests and strengths,” said the students.





高中部

High School




首次的高中部午餐会，Patrick Smith校长邀请了十二年级的学生参加。作为毕业年级，同学们感触最深的就是国际部温馨的大家庭氛围。有位同学说，“我们的学校虽小，但同学和老师们之间都彼此熟悉，大家总是在一点一滴中都能感受到温暖和友爱”。在国际部，同学之间相互尊重，是见证彼此成长的好伙伴。老师们亦师亦友，会对学生的想法给予充分的关心和尊重，他们总会耐心倾听，及时反馈。同学们也感受到学校在各方面给予学生们自主发展的支持。学习中，老师会鼓励大家进行独立自主的学科研究；在学生社团和各类跨年级活动中，同学们也都是直接组织策划，由此，领导力和团队合作能力都得到了提升。在扎实的学术学习和丰富的校园活动实践中，大家的学业能力、研究能力和创新能力都得到了全面的培养，同时，对学校的责任感和主人翁意识也在不断增强。


As a graduating class, the grade 12th students are touched mostly by the warm community atmosphere at THIS. One student said, “because our school is small, the students and teachers are familiar with each other. We always feel warm and loved in every little bit.” Students respect each other and become good partners to witness everyone’s growth. The teachers are friendly and genuinely care and respect students’ ideas. They always listen patiently and give timely feedback. The students also feel that the school supports their independent development in all aspects. In their studies, teachers encourage independent and self-directed subject research and participation in student clubs and in various cross-grade activities. Students are organizers and planners. As a result, leadership and teamwork skills are enhanced. With solid academic learning and rich practice in campus activities, everyone’s academic, research and creative abilities are solidly cultivated. All the while, a sense of responsibility and ownership of the school grows.




Patrick Smith校长表示，特别开心能够听到来自各个年级学生对学校最真实、真诚的想法，同学们的心声和建议，学校会仔细参考和落实。国际部始终致力于将“以学生为中心”的理念落到每一处细节中，通过午餐会等直接和平等的对话沟通，我们希望学生们可以感受到学校源源不断的支持，在温馨友爱的国际部大家庭里收获卓越成长。


Academic Principal Smith said that he was very happy to hear the most honest and sincere ideas from students from different grades. THIS has always been committed to putting the “student-centered” philosophy into every detail. We want to hear every student’s thoughts. We hope that through direct and open communication, students will always feel the constant support from the school. Together, we will create a warm and loving campus reaping the benefits of this excellence.
