随着暑气渐渐散去，空气中多了清爽的凉意，朝阳凯文新的学年就在这样一个惬意的时节拉开了序幕。

很多凯文师生和家长都对短短一个暑假后在北京朝阳凯文学校新发生的大大小小的变化感到惊喜。对于这些惊喜，我们并不意外——那些日日夜夜全身心的准备，便是为了这些满意的笑容而来;但在真正看到孩子的笑容之时，在真正听到凯文家长说出“很庆幸选择凯文”之时，我们还是会心头一紧鼻头一酸——才会真的意识到一切努力都是值得的。
 

 

在众多的发展和变化中，最让大家期待和满意的，便是一个崭新、完备、兼具计划性和执行力的领导团队的搭建。在新教师培训和教师发展周中、在迎新日和开学典礼上、在教师见面会和课程说明会里，我们可以清晰地感受到这个领导团队给朝阳凯文带来的活力和热情。

在这里，我们乐意与您分享他们对教育的见解和对凯文新学年的展望。
 

徐涛女士

北京市朝阳区凯文学校执行校长
 

徐涛校长在国际教育领域深耕20余年，在国际课程的实施、国际学校的认证、中西课程的融合以及跨文化领导力方面有着丰富的经验。她曾担任北京耀中国际学校中方校长长达十年之久，并荣升为香港耀中教育机构的课程和教学总监，负责多间学校的教学研究工作。徐校长加入朝阳凯文，致力于充满中国自信的国际教育，坚信卓越的教育成就每个孩子的幸福人生!

教育是对未来的准备——教育不是起点也不是终点，而是贯穿一生的过程。我们的孩子的未来该有更多的可能性，成功的定义也该更开放、更多元。我坚信凯文的均衡教育和全人教育将给中国的国际教育带来发展的新模式和新探索，也会为更多的中国家庭带来优质的充满中国自信的国际化教育。 新的学年，朝阳凯文和幸福结缘。我们面向家长的凯文幸福课已经上线四周了，我们的创新德育——面向学生的凯文幸福课也在开学天就在校园里开讲了，从凯文品格到凯文教养，凯文将致力于孩子们的全面发展和健康发展。而继续夯实凯文的综合学术水平也是今年学校的发展目标：每周的班级快递已经启动了学校和家庭之间的学术沟通。凯文的体育课程也将全面引进各个运动项目，让孩子们在正常的体育课上、在运动教练的指导下体验丰富的运动项目，在运动中培养学生的优秀品格和领袖精神。
 

Andrew Leale先生

北京市朝阳区凯文学校学生事务副校长
 

Andrew Leale先生毕业于牛津大学，并获得政治、哲学和经济学荣誉学位。他于2019年8月加入朝阳凯文学校担任学生事务副校长。在加入朝阳凯文学校之前，Andrew先生是多所著名英国学校的董事会成员，其中伊顿公学集团成员校——Tonbridge School 近期被《星期日泰晤士报》评为“英国年度学校”。Andrew先生曾在该校负责学校的寄宿项目，并担任学术校长，帮助众多学子成功的申请到牛津大学，剑桥大学，以及其他英、美大学。

25年的教育经验让我明白，每名孩子都是与众不同的，有独特的需求、理想和潜能。也是因为这个原因，我成为了全人教育的坚定信奉者。全面的教育可以给每名学生提供挖掘各自潜能的机会，取得成功和自信，这些都是他们在人生下一个阶段必需的品质。在这么多年中，我见证了非常多的学生利用自己在学校生活中某一领域所取得的自信达成了在另一领域难以置信的成就。这也是为什么我认为学校的学生关怀和辅助课程与班级生活不是一个相互比较的关系，而是一个相辅相成的关系，是能够帮助学生达成学术成功的重要推动力。 因此，我相信我会为朝阳凯文学校带来“社区感”，这是让我们的学生感到他们是一个更大的团体中的一员的一种感受。对一些学生来说，他们会是一个快乐的班级团体中的一员，对另外一些同学来说，他们可能感到自己是蒸蒸日上的寄宿社区中的一份子。最终，我希望所有的朝阳凯文学校学生都能够感到自己是全球社区的一员。在这个全球社区中，他们的双语教育、杰出的学术能力和文化理解度能够使他们长大后在各自所选的领域中成为领袖。
 

Emma Scott女士

北京市朝阳区凯文学校小学部校长
 

Emma Scott女士于2019年8月加入朝阳凯文学校，担任小学校长。Emma在国际教育领域具有丰富的经验，曾在美国、重庆和广州等多地的国际学校担任领导。她认为，朝阳凯文学校通过提供创新的国际课程为学生赋能，让他们能够充分在现实生活中应用所学的知识和技能，以面对当今不断变化、日趋多样的全球环境。广泛的体验式学习机会，以及对最高学术标准的不断追求，确保了朝阳凯文学校是家长们为孩子寻求卓越国际教育体验的首选。

Emma女士秉持以学生为中心的进步主义理念，她认为国际教育必须激发学生的认识论常识，让学生懂得如何思考、如何求知。培养孩子们批判性思维、反思及沟通技能，使他们成为有能力的思考者和学习者，以充分接触我们不断变化的世界。 学习具有私人化和个体性。每个孩子都是独一无二的。为保障效率，教学和学习必须明确每个个体在学习过程中所处的阶段，并专注于当前阶段以实现下一阶段的目标。朝阳凯文的课堂环境以学生为中心，根据每个学生的个人兴趣、天赋才能和学习诉求因材施教、量身定制教学计划。我们与专家团队、海外教师和本地师资的良好合作关系缔造了这样一个丰富多彩、鼎立支持和专注培养的学习环境。朝阳凯文的教师们坚信这样一种文化：即让学生提出问题、尝试新方法、协同合作、解决问题，并庆贺成功和失败。只有经历失败，一个人才能真正地反思、逐渐适应并愈发强大。 朝阳凯文的学生们享有卓越的学习设施。我们K年级至G5年级的同学可以同国际领先机构的体育教练和艺术专家们紧密合作，这也印证了我们对卓越体验课程的充分承诺。我们尊重体育、艺术和中国传统语言文化，并在它们之间保持谨慎平衡，这是我们严谨的学术设置的一大优势。父母在学习过程中至关重要，在朝阳凯文，我们积极接纳家长作为孩子学习中的合作伙伴，寻求家庭和学校之间的可持续合作，以确保每个学生都拥有真正的个体教育和学习经历。 作为朝阳凯文的新任小学校长，Emma女士感到荣幸之极。她热切地期待着与我们满腹热忱、资历深厚的小学教育团队通力合作，与我们日益壮大的家长社区齐心并力。Emma女士赞扬朝阳凯文的家长朋友，赞扬家长们为自己的孩子选择了有口皆碑的课程。通过有效合作，朝阳凯文将为孩子们提供革故鼎新、全面平衡和量身定制的教育体验，打造全球领袖和积极活跃的世界革新中坚力量。
 

王富丽女士

北京市朝阳区凯文学校中学部校长
 

王富丽女士从事国内外初高中教育教学及管理工作27年，致力于实践中西合璧教育教学理念，熟悉英国IGCSE、A-level、美国AP课程 及IB等各种国际课程体系。多年来，她以高度的热情与奉献意识，投身学校教育教学与管理工作，用爱与理解尊重学生个性，实践个性化全人教育，在家长和学生中形成良好口碑，多次荣获北京市民办学校先进教育工作者。

近三十年的教育工作经历使我陪伴了许多优秀学生的成长，对于他们成长历程的追索和分析让我看到，一个教育工作者的职责决不仅仅是培养学业突出的学生进入梦想的大学。我们更重的使命，应该是通过一种全面的教育，培养孩子适应变化和承受意外打击的坚忍和意志，是逆流而上、不屈不饶的自信和乐观，这样的品质不仅是学生学业进步和事业成功的基础，也是孩子幸福人生的必备条件。

为了培养孩子这种宝贵的品质，我们不仅要在孩子取得成绩时鼓励和表扬他们，更要用适当的方法让我们的鼓励或者表扬有利于培养孩子积极乐观和坚持不懈的成长心态。我们的表扬应该更多的关注孩子在学习过程中所付出的努力，而不是他有多么的聪明和有能力。因为我们看到许多成功的人生不是高智商和能力的必然趋势，而是持之以恒、脚踏实地、不断进取和持续性发展的成就。我相信这就是凯文国际教学的方向：培养乐观、自信、坚强、和不轻易放弃的强者!

 

Professionalism Leads to Excellence
 

In the academic year of 2019 to 2020, the new leadership team is particularly eye-catching in the development and changes of Beijing Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy. From new teacher orientation week to all staff PD week, to the first week of new school year and Meet the Teacher event, we have deeply felt the vitality and enthusiasm that the new leadership team has brought to Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy.
 

 

Excellent educational leaders always go with outstanding educational philosophy and creative teaching practice. Let’s see what ambitions and goals the new leadership team have set for this academic year.

 

Christine Xu, Executive Principal
 

Education is the best preparation for future. Education is neither starting point nor the destination. Education is life-long learning. There should be more possibilities for the future of our children. The definition of success should be more open and diversified. I believe the balanced education and whole-child education advocated by Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy will bring new development and exploration model to Chinese international education, and quality international education that Chinese will be proud of.

In the new academic year, well-being becomes a theme for Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy. The Parent Well-being Program kicked start four weeks ago. Student Well-being program, our innovative moral education course, started on the first school day, emphasis on the character building and upbringing of Kaiwen students. Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy is committed to the holistic and healthy development of all students. Another development goal of the school for this academic year is to consolidate the comprehensive academic standard. The weekly class newsletter has started to bridge the academic communication between the school and the families. We have also introduced sports program into Kaiwen curriculum, providing children with opportunities to experience a variety of sports in PE class and cultivating outstanding characters and leadership skills among students through sports.

 

Andrew Leale, Deputy Head (Students)
 

My 25 years of experience as an educator have taught me that every pupil is different, with unique needs, ambitions and potential. For that reason I am a passionate believer in a holistic education, which allows each student the opportunity to unearth their own talents and to achieve the success and the self-assuredness which is needed for the next stage of their life. I have seen very many pupils, over the years, use the confidence developed in one area of school life to achieve unimaginable success in another. That is why I see the pastoral and co-curricular aspects of school life not as in competition with the classroom but as a crucial enabler of academic success.

I hope, then, that I will bring to CKWA a sense of community and a feeling amongst all of our pupils that they are part of something bigger than themselves. For some they will be part of a happy home room community, others will feel part of a thriving boarding community. Ultimately, I hope that all CKWA pupils will feel part of an integrated global community, in which their bilingual education, their excellent academic qualifications and their cultural flexibility will allow them, as adults, to become leaders in their chosen field.
 

 

Emma Scott, Head of Primary
 

Embracing a student-centered, progressivist philosophy, Emma believes that an international education must inspire epistemological understanding, with students learning how to think and how to know. Developing skills in critical thinking, reflection and communication empowers our children to become competent thinkers and learners, empowering them to fully access our ever-changing world.

Learning is personal and individual. Each child is unique. To be effective, teaching and learning must identify where each individual learner is on their own journey and focus on the path that will empower them to achieve their next goal. Classroom environments at CKWA are student-centered, tailoring the learning programme to meet the individual interests, talents and learning aspiration of each and every student. Strong relationships with our expert, overseas and local teachers cultivates a rich, supportive and nurturing learning environment. Teachers at CKWA embrace a culture in which students pose questions, trial new methods, work collaboratively, solve problems and celebrate both success and failure. Only by failing can one genuinely reflect, adapt and grow stronger.

CKWA students learn in premium facilities. World-class sports coaches and accomplished arts specialists from leading international institutions work with closely with our K-G5 students, demonstrating our full commitment to an outstanding experiential programme. A careful balance of sports, arts and respect for traditional Chinese language and culture compliments our rigorous academic programme. Parents are crucial in the learning process. Here at CKWA we actively embrace parents as partners in the learning experience of their child and seek continued collaboration between home and school to ensure a truly personal educational experience for each student.

As newly appointed Head of Primary at CKWA, Emma feels honoured to be part of CKWA community. Emma looks forward to working alongside our team of passionate, experienced Primary educators and embraces our wider parental community. Emma commends our CKWA parents who have selected our prestigious, world-class programme for their child. By working effectively together, we will provide your child with an innovative, balanced and tailor-made educational experience, creating global-leaders and active world-changers.

 

Fuli Wang, Head of Secondary
 

I have witnessed the growth of many excellent students over the past thirty years of work in education field. Through the analysis and tracking of their growing path, I have realized that the responsibility of an educator is much more than helping academically successful students to be enrolled into dream universities. A more important mission is to cultivate children’s adaptability through holistic education, and to cultivate their perseverance to bear unexpected blow. Perseverant confidence and optimism are not only the basis for academic progress and career success, but also a prerequisite for a happy life. To cultivate these precious qualities, we should not only encourage and compliment children when they achieve good academic results but should also use our encouragement and compliment in an appropriate manner so that children can adopt a positive, optimistic and perseverant growth mindset. Our compliments should focus more on the effort that they have put into study during the process, rather than on how clever and capable they are. This is because we have seen that successful life is not achieved by high IQ and aptitude, but more by perseverant effort, steady progress, continuous improvement and sustainable development. I believe this is the development direction of Kaiwen international education, that is, to foster optimistic, confident, resilient and perseverant talents!
