This EA/ED round, campuses under Cogdel Education Group are filled with immense joy—over 800 admission offers have arrived from around the world, making multiple historical breakthroughs for us.The International Department of Chengdu No.7 High School leads the way with 11 interview invitations from the University of Oxford and Cambridge (Oxbridge) and 2 offers from Cornell University;The International Curriculum Program of Chengdu Golden Apple Jincheng No.1 High School secured one of only two offers nationwide—and the first in Southwest China in a decade—from Princeton University, the top-ranked university in the U.S.......
Yet, what is more enduring and heartwarming than these dazzling figures?The answer lies in the eyes of students holding their offers—a bright and steadfast glow.
It is not mere joy, but a profound sense of pride rooted deep in their hearts.This glow turns "Chinese who walk the world with pride" from a slogan into a living reality they embody every day.
01 Pride Stems from "I Have Found Myself"
We value every transcript, but care more about the stories behind it—the journey of how a young person discovers their unknown self.
Amanda, a student from the International Department of Chengdu No.7 High School who received an offer from New York University this EA/ED round, used to be extremely shy about speaking in public.Trembling hands, cold sweats, and stiff limbs—somatic anxiety had plagued her since childhood.Thanks to the encouragement from her peers, systematic training in public speaking methods and skills, and numerous opportunities for practical speaking—class committee elections, student union campaigns, speech contests......she challenged herself time and again, achieving remarkable transformations with each attempt.
▲ Students from the International Department of Chengdu No.7 High School initiated and organized a TEDx event, sharing their insights into the world on stage
This year, with outstanding academic performance and multiple competition awards, she gained admission to her dream school and is set to pursue a career in media—her lifelong passion. She said:"International education views individuals holistically, offering more opportunities to reflect on oneself, discover one’s true essence, and pursue one’s passion."Her pride comes from that inner voice: "So this is what I’m capable of."This joy and strength of self-affirmation outshines any external honors; it is a spark that will light up countless moments of confusion in the future.
▲ Teachers and students from the International Curriculum Program of Chengdu Golden Apple Jincheng No.1 High School wrote, directed, and performed the two-hour full English-language play The Wizard of Oz
At Cogdel, such sparks are being ignited in countless corners.We believe true education is about igniting potential rather than indoctrinating knowledge; it is about discovering the unique rhythm of each life and building a stage for it to shine.
We firmly believe genuine growth is always visible.When parents witness their children shed immaturity and grow into confident, radiant individuals, their heartfelt relief intertwines with the students’ pride, forming the warmest mutual joy.This pride may start with an offer from a dream school, but more often, it lies in those ordinary yet precious daily moments:Seeing a once-shy child perform a play in fluent English on stage;Hearing a child analyze international current affairs coherently at the dinner table, sharing real-life observations from their unique perspective;Finding at Parent Open Day that a child not only manages their studies well, but also takes thoughtful care of peers in their team......
▲ A parent of a student from the International Department of Chengdu No.7 High School shared the child’s growth on social media
A mother choked up as she shared at a forum:"What touches me most is not his high scores, but the time I suffered from insomnia due to heavy work pressure. He made me a cup of tea and talked to me using the communication skills he learned in psychology class. At that moment, I knew my child had truly grown into a warm and resilient adult."The home-school collaborative education bridge built by Cogdel allows such precious moments to be seen and shared.
Through parent-child workshops, growth journals, and heart-to-heart meetings, we help parents act not only as a harbor of support, but also as the closest witnesses on their children’s growth journey.When families truly perceive and take pride in their children’s transformation, this pride gains the warm weight of blood ties.
The journey of Cogdel students is not an escape from their homeland, but an expedition carrying their cultural roots.They will step onto the global stage, showcasing a multi-dimensional, innovative modern China through the eyes of the younger generation.Global vision with a Chinese backbone.In Cogdel’s curriculum system, we explore global issues while imparting Chinese wisdom.
When students expound in fluent English on how "harmony in diversity" enlightens the resolution of modern conflicts at international forums;When they naturally share the Chinese "doctrine of the mean" as wisdom in handling affairs with peers during overseas volunteer programs;When they achieve accomplishments in their fields with unique creativity rooted in oriental thinking;There is no need to emphasize "I am Chinese"—their way of thinking and solutions naturally bear the imprints and innovations of Chinese civilization.
▲ Students from the International Curriculum Program of Chengdu Golden Apple Jincheng No.1 High School went on a public welfare trip to Nepal, focusing on local issues including children’s welfare, elderly care, and electricity access
We aim to cultivate "Chinese solvers of global issues".What they bring to the world is not only outstanding academic ability, but also holistic thinking nurtured by 5,000 years of civilization, a resilient character, and an inclusive mindset of "appreciating the beauty of one’s own and others’ cultures".When they contribute oriental wisdom and solutions to common future challenges facing humanity, this dignified, unyielding pride rooted in cultural identity will become their eternal spiritual beacon.
The hustle and bustle of the EA/ED round will fade away, but the glow of pride—in self, family, and culture—ignited in Cogdel students’ eyes will endure forever."Chinese who walk the world with pride" is not only the cultivation goal of Cogdel Education Group, but also the educational practice we uphold every day.
It means we care about how high students can fly, and more about whether they have the inner motivation and sense of direction to keep soaring;It means we celebrate students being recognized by the world, and strive to help them establish clear self-awareness and cultural identity;It means we believe true educational success is when students look back and sincerely say, "I am proud of who I have become today."
We believe the most beautiful outcome of education is not a fleeting honor roll, but nurturing a group of young people:Who are steadfast at heart, understanding and appreciating their true selves;Who have the warmth of family behind them, understanding the weight of this profound love;Who face the world ahead, stepping forward with confidence and poise.Through their growth, they vividly interpret what it means to be "Chinese who walk the world with pride".
This is the truly bright future that deserves our celebration more than the 800 offers.
