Cooperation Pattern

All-round cooperation in building an International Department

Features

The school strives to cultivate global people with Chinese feelings and Chinese people with global feelings. It treats its International Department as a test field for curriculum reform, an incubator for new curricula, and a training base for top teachers. Meanwhile, the school plans to develop its own international curricula independently in five to ten years so that children who have no opportunity to study abroad can receive the best internationalized education at home. In the process of comparative studies of curricula, the school’s International Department integrates Chinese senior high school curricula with American ones. Both Chinese credit points and American credit points are accepted. The school mainly teaches Chinese basic curricula that are highly accepted by international colleges/universities. It also teaches characteristic contents of American curricula. Based on the demands for human quality in the 21st century and each student’s career planning, the advantages of Chinese-style education and western-style education are brought together to lay a foundation for students’ all-round development and lifelong development.
