隨著暑氣漸漸散去，空氣中多了清爽的涼意，朝陽凱文新的學年就在這樣一個愜意的時節拉開了序幕。

　　很多凱文師生和家長都對短短一個暑假后在北京朝陽凱文學校新發生的大大小小的變化感到驚喜。對于這些驚喜，我們并不意外——那些日日夜夜全身心的準備，便是為了這些滿意的笑容而來;但在真正看到孩子的笑容之時，在真正聽到凱文家長說出“很慶幸選擇凱文”之時，我們還是會心頭一緊鼻頭一酸——才會真的意識到一切努力都是值得的。
 

　　在眾多的發展和變化中，較讓大家期待和滿意的，便是一個嶄新、完備、兼具計劃性和執行力的領導團隊的搭建。在新教師培訓和教師發展周中、在迎新日和開學典禮上、在教師見面會和課程說明會里，我們可以清晰地感受到這個領導團隊給朝陽凱文帶來的活力和熱情。

　　在這里，我們樂意與您分享他們對教育的見解和對凱文新學年的展望。
 

　　徐濤女士

　　北京市朝陽區凱文學校執行校長
 

　　徐濤校長在國際教育領域深耕20余年，在國際課程的實施、國際學校的認證、中西課程的融合以及跨文化領導力方面有著豐富的經驗。她曾擔任北京耀中國際學校中方校長長達十年之久，并榮升為中國香港耀中教育機構的課程和教學總監，負責多間學校的教學研究工作。徐校長加入朝陽凱文，致力于充滿中國自信的國際教育，堅信卓越的教育成就每個孩子的幸福人生!

　　教育是對未來的準備——教育不是起點也不是終點，而是貫穿一生的過程。我們的孩子的未來該有更多的可能性，成功的定義也該更開放、更多元。我堅信凱文的均衡教育和全人教育將給中國的國際教育帶來發展的新模式和新探索，也會為更多的中國家庭帶來的充滿中國自信的國際化教育。 新的學年，朝陽凱文和幸福結緣。我們面向家長的凱文幸福課已經上線四周了，我們的創新德育——面向學生的凱文幸福課也在開學第一天就在校園里開講了，從凱文品格到凱文教養，凱文將致力于孩子們的全面發展和健康發展。而繼續夯實凱文的綜合學術水平也是今年學校的發展目標：每周的班級快遞已經啟動了學校和家庭之間的學術溝通。凱文的體育課程也將全面引進各個運動項目，讓孩子們在正常的體育課上、在運動教練的指導下體驗豐富的運動項目，在運動中培養學生的優秀品格和精神。
 

　　Andrew Leale先生

　　北京市朝陽區凱文學校學生事務副校長
 

　　Andrew Leale先生畢業于牛津大學，并獲得政治、哲學和經濟學榮譽學位。他于2019年8月加入朝陽凱文學校擔任學生事務副校長。在加入朝陽凱文學校之前，Andrew先生是多所英國學校的董事會成員，其中伊頓公學集團成員校——Tonbridge School 近期被《星期日泰晤士報》評為“英國年度學校”。Andrew先生曾在該校負責學校的寄宿項目，并擔任學術校長，幫助眾多學子成功的申請到牛津大學，劍橋大學，以及其他英、美大學。

　　25年的教育經驗讓我明白，每名孩子都是與眾不同的，有獨特的需求、理想和潛能。也是因為這個原因，我成為了全人教育的堅定信奉者。全面的教育可以給每名學生提供挖掘各自潛能的機會，取得成功和自信，這些都是他們在人生下一個階段必需的品質。在這么多年中，我見證了非常多的學生利用自己在學校生活中某一領域所取得的自信達成了在另一領域難以置信的成就。這也是為什么我認為學校的學生關懷和輔助課程與班級生活不是一個相互比較的關系，而是一個相輔相成的關系，是能夠幫助學生達成學術成功的重要推動力。 因此，我相信我會為朝陽凱文學校帶來“社區感”，這是讓我們的學生感到他們是一個更大的團體中的一員的一種感受。對一些學生來說，他們會是一個快樂的班級團體中的一員，對另外一些同學來說，他們可能感到自己是蒸蒸日上的寄宿社區中的一份子。較終，我希望所有的朝陽凱文學校學生都能夠感到自己是全球社區的一員。在這個全球社區中，他們的雙語教育、杰出的學術能力和文化理解度能夠使他們長大后在各自所選的領域中成為。
 

　　Emma Scott女士

　　北京市朝陽區凱文學校小學部校長
 

　　Emma Scott女士于2019年8月加入朝陽凱文學校，擔任小學校長。Emma在國際教育領域具有豐富的經驗，曾在美國、重慶和廣州等多地的國際學校擔任領導。她認為，朝陽凱文學校通過提供創新的國際課程為學生賦能，讓他們能夠充分在現實生活中應用所學的知識和技能，以面對當今不斷變化、日趨多樣的全球環境。廣泛的體驗式學習機會，以及對較高學術標準的不斷追求，了朝陽凱文學校是家長們為孩子尋求卓越國際教育體驗的。

　　Emma女士秉持以學生為中心的進步主義理念，她認為國際教育必須激發學生的認識論常識，讓學生懂得如何思考、如何求知。培養孩子們批判性思維、反思及溝通技能，使他們成為有能力的思考者和學習者，以充分接觸我們不斷變化的世界。 學習具有私人化和個體性。每個孩子都是的。為效率，教學和學習必須明確每個個體在學習過程中所處的階段，并專注于當前階段以實現下一階段的目標。朝陽凱文的課堂環境以學生為中心，根據每個學生的個人興趣、天賦才能和學習訴求因材施教、量身定制教學計劃。我們與專家團隊、海外教師和本地師資的良好合作關系締造了這樣一個豐富多彩、鼎立支持和專注培養的學習環境。朝陽凱文的教師們堅信這樣一種文化：即讓學生提出問題、嘗試新方法、協同合作、解決問題，并慶賀成功和失敗。只有經歷失敗，一個人才能真正地反思、逐漸適應并愈發強大。 朝陽凱文的學生們享有卓越的學習設施。我們K年級至G5年級的同學可以同國際機構的體育教練和藝術專家們緊密合作，這也印證了我們對卓越體驗課程的充分。我們尊重體育、藝術和中國傳統語言文化，并在它們之間保持謹慎平衡，這是我們嚴謹的學術設置的一大優勢。父母在學習過程中至關重要，在朝陽凱文，我們積極接納家長作為孩子學習中的合作伙伴，尋求家庭和學校之間的可持續合作，以每個學生都擁有真正的個體教育和學習經歷。 作為朝陽凱文的新任小學校長，Emma女士感到榮幸之極。她熱切地期待著與我們滿腹熱忱、資歷深厚的小學教育團隊通力合作，與我們日益壯大的家長社區齊心并力。Emma女士贊揚朝陽凱文的家長朋友，贊揚家長們為自己的孩子選擇了有口皆碑的課程。通過有效合作，朝陽凱文將為孩子們提供革故鼎新、全面平衡和量身定制的教育體驗，打造全球和積極活躍的世界革新中堅力量。

　　北京市朝陽區凱文學校中學部校長
 

　　王富麗女士從事國內外初高中教育教學及管理工作27年，致力于實踐中西合璧教育教學理念，熟悉英國IGCSE、A-level、美國AP課程 及IB等各種國際課程體系。多年來，她以高度的熱情與奉獻意識，投身學校教育教學與管理工作，用愛與理解尊重學生個性，實踐個性化全人教育，在家長和學生中形成良好口碑，多次榮獲北京市民辦學校先進教育工作者。

　　近三十年的教育工作經歷使我陪伴了許多優秀學生的成長，對于他們成長歷程的追索和分析讓我看到，一個教育工作者的職責決不僅僅是培養學業突出的學生進入夢想的大學。我們更重的使命，應該是通過一種全面的教育，培養孩子適應變化和承受意外打擊的堅忍和意志，是逆流而上、不屈不饒的自信和樂觀，這樣的品質不僅是學生學業進步和事業成功的基礎，也是孩子幸福人生的必備條件。

　　為了培養孩子這種寶貴的品質，我們不僅要在孩子取得成績時鼓勵和表揚他們，更要用適當的方法讓我們的鼓勵或者表揚有利于培養孩子積極樂觀和堅持不懈的成長心態。我們的表揚應該更多的關注孩子在學習過程中所付出的努力，而不是他有多么的聰明和有能力。因為我們看到許多成功的人生不是高智商和能力的必然趨勢，而是持之以恒、腳踏實地、不斷進取和持續性發展的成就。我相信這就是凱文國際教學的方向：培養樂觀、自信、堅強、和不輕易放棄的強者!

 

　　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!
