The world is changing too fast. Since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2019, globalization faces huge challenges; economic growth has encountered a turning point; the relationship between major powers is delicate; the development of science and technology is related to each other...

Adults' anxiety about the future is projected on children's education, making us the most anxious generation of parents - whether there is an education that can allow children to adapt to the ever-changing world in the next 20 years, allowing them to deal with changes with ease, and lead their lives has become a problem facing parents.

In the past eight years of international education, I have seen various educational models: innovative schools, bilingual schools, foreign schools, famous schools within the system, etc. One of them left a deep impression on me.

It is the AISL Harrow School, which has inherited the 450-year history of Harrow School in the UK. In the 25 years since its establishment in Asia, it has provided Asian students with high-quality whole-person education. While cultivating their excellent academic abilities, it also cultivates their ability to adapt to society.

AISL Harrow School currently has branches in 12 regions in Asia, located in: Bangkok , Beijing, Hong Kong, Haikou, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Japan, Zhuhai, Chongqing, Nanning

Today, we will approach AISL Harrow School together and find the key to open the door to the future from the narratives of Harrow students and parents.

Everything is top-notch,

Harrow's treasure "school master", hides too many surprises

In February this year, Midori S, who was studying in Harrow Shanghai, received an admission notice from Cambridge University natural science major. This girl who has loved life science since childhood finally realized her dream of Cambridge.

In Harrow, Midori is a "versatile academic master", and she is good at using her talents and enthusiastic about public welfare.

The achievements of Midori, the teachers Harrow who have been with her for three years, are not surprised at all. The light she shines in the field of natural sciences can no longer be concealed.

Academically, Midori is a well-deserved academic master. She won A* in the A Level chemistry subject and also participated in the Royal Chemistry Olympics in the UK and won high scores.

Midori will seize every opportunity to improve herself in the academic field. In the Harrow EPQ personal independent project study, she completed the study of "Whether Glioblastoma can be cured" through extensive literature reading and field investigation, which is a huge achievement for high school students.

More importantly, She applies her academic abilities to real life. ranges from helping disabled people learn English to internships in hospitals and propose innovative solutions to public health problems in science competitions.

"I hope to do my best to improve people's lives with what I have learned." Midori's conversation in front of me was confident and mature. Her time at Harrow made her become stronger from a girl who is ignorant of science and loves science and has a sense of social responsibility.

However, academic is not the whole of Midori's campus life. Midori participated in various CCA extracurricular activities, served as the school student representative and class monitor, and joined the student union, participating in organizing large-scale campus activities such as Halloween, New Year Carnival . In this process, Midori's leadership and speech skills have been greatly improved.

Harrow not only provides students with full academic freedom, but also helps students realize their dreams of famous schools with strong faculty, but also attaches more importance to cultivating students' skills in all aspects, allowing them to step out of school, enter universities and society, and are always outstanding talents.

AISL Harrow graduates have been "dominating" the admission list for many years. Including the UK's G5 elite colleges, Ivy League schools, Russell Group University, and the top 50 top schools in the world, all have extended "olive branches" to Harrow students.

Harrow's "school masters" are really different. They hide too many surprises, are versatile, and have a strong sense of leadership and social responsibility.

Harrow Beijing graduate Simon W, who was admitted to at Oxford University, is also the head of Curie Institute. He focuses on scientific research on the one hand and leads the members of the institute to organize various activities, including sports meet , music competition, Chinese New Year and Institute Charity Project, etc.

Simon W Participated in campus activity

Simon W Scholarship winner Yi Sum Y, out of interest in animal medicine , organized an online art exhibition during the epidemic, with stray animals as the theme, conducting artistic creation and raising funds.

"Harrow's leadership training in Shanghai has given me great support and training, and the teachers have also provided a lot of help." Yi Sum Y said that these helps give her a lot of space, and can promote art exhibitions in campus life and call on students to participate.

Asian parents’ requirements for their children are no longer not only grades and prestigious schools, but also hope that their children have “invisible soft power” and make progress in all aspects from academic to ability. This is precisely the foundation of Harrow's 450 years of education. He has adhered to the value of "courage, humility, honor, and mutual assistance" for centuries as the core of education, and has always implemented the cultivation of students' all-round quality: outstanding achievements are not the only criterion for evaluating success.

In Harrow, "academic top" does not have a unified face, and no one will set limits for students, their lives are infinite.

"Four Values" throughout Harrow's life

allows children to grow beyond imagination

Harrow's whole-person education, and the one who has the most say in the changes to children is Harrow's parents. In the interview, many of them mentioned "confidence", "responsibility", "friendliness", and "pilot", and these abilities will also become their confidence in dealing with the future world.

Haro, the mother of Alexander, a 11th grade student in Shenzhen, Ms. Guo recalled her child’s reading experience in Haro and her changes.

As Alexander, who is the only child, after coming to Harrow, he became more caring and considerate and more confident, which made his mother Ms. Guo very moved.

"Alexander was a relatively reserved child. When he first arrived at Harrow, his teacher encouraged him to run for the chairman of the academy, but he was not confident enough at that time and gave up the opportunity to run."

"But in the following year, Alexander participated in many campus activities and volunteer activities, friendship week, etc. After school, he would also lead his juniors in the lower grades to participate in animation production. Last month, he suddenly told me that he was preparing to run for the chairman of the academy this year."

Although this does not mean that Alexander will receive this position, a year of Harrow's whole-person education has made him more confident and realize that he has the ability to fight for more. "He is willing to try more, which is a positive signal. He is beginning to think like a leader." Ms. Guo sighed deeply.

In addition, Harrow's boarding system made Alexander a who is better at socializing and collaborating, and boys have more time to meet friends around them.

happens that boys in the same grade are all very talented in music. Some are good at playing violin , some are good at playing piano, and some are interested in singing. Alexander is keen on arrange music on iPad.

Several boys hit it off and naturally formed a "Uncle" band. Music teacher Davis will give the boys additional music tutoring and create more stages for performances.

AISLHarrow School, like 5

"The boys have the opportunity to play together, learn together, and form a strong alliance. In the courtyard, he can not only play with his peers, but also make friends with classmates of different grades."

Ms. Guo said with gratitude that Alexander, as the only child, has become more caring and considerate of others.The "honor, mutual assistance, humility and courage" advocated by Harrow's core values ​​is prominently reflected in Alexander.

For AISL Harrow School students, the four major values ​​of have been cultivated from kindergarten, constantly improving and advancing, and constantly benefiting from it.

When in kindergarten, courage may be to boldly share interesting things about the holidays and sing the newly learned bilingual nursery rhymes; in junior high school and high school, the power of courage "grows up" with students, allowing them to face international competitions with grace, confidently and calmly, and interview with famous schools...

"Courage, honor, humility, mutual assistance", Jessica, a first-year student in Haro Zhuhai, has already got the best of Haro's values.

immersed in the campus environment, feeling the energy brought by Harrow's core values, so that this 7-year-old child feels that Harrow's 450 years of honor and responsibility will be passed on to himself.

Harrow 450 Global Fantasy Linkage

"Four Values" shine brightly

2022 marks the 450th anniversary of the founding of Harrow School in the UK and the 25th year that AISL Harrow School has been deeply rooted in Asia. Harrow's teachers, students and alumni worldwide have a fantasy linkage, holding a variety of activities to start a celebration that will continue throughout the year. This is not only a feast that demonstrates Harrow's core values, but also an immersive learning experience for students.

Since the beginning of the new century, AISL Harrow School’s education has also cultivated talents in accordance with the needs of the times and encouraged students to enthusiastically participate in issues such as green environmental protection, sustainable development of mankind and nature. These topics will be the common concern of mankind in the next 20 years.

Takes this occasion of the 450th anniversary celebration, AISL Harrow School joined forces with five world-renowned universities to launch the WE INNOVATE theme event. takes "sustainable development" as the direction and proposes five "world problems" that need to be solved urgently.

AISL Harrow Hong Kong children have designed a magical telescopic shoes that can grow up with the body and realize recycling

For example, in collaboration with Imperial University of Technology to discuss "Can people live on the moon?", and with University of Southampton , "Can change our eating habits save the earth?" and so on.

Haro Bangkok Thelma, although she is just a primary school student, has already developed a strong sense of responsibility for protecting the earth. She found that her friends often throw away their endless lunches, which are both wasteful and polluting the environment.

Thelma decided to combine the principles of shredder to create a food waste crusher. Put kitchen waste in it, and it can be turned into treasure by cutting through machine, turn waste into agricultural fertilizer, and quickly realize green circulation. She drew the drawings and made the crusher model with discarded materials.

Thelma hopes that her creativity can remind people that real environmental protection should start with reducing waste. It’s not that the earth needs humans, but that humans need the earth. Having a humble heart towards nature, gives Thelma the courage to change the world.

Human beings are a community with a shared future, and this will not change no matter how the world changes in the future. Harrow people believe that 's care and sense of responsibility for society will lead them to make the right choices and go further under any circumstances.

This is the original intention of the WE SERVE activity in Harrow's 450th anniversary celebration. hopes that students can understand the true meaning of "humility and mutual assistance" by serving others.

On June 21 this year, students from Harrow Haikou went to the R&F Bay Wetland Park to have close contact with national second-class protected animal - round-tailed horseshoe crab. They stepped on the mudflats and rescued the horseshoe crab trapped in and released them back to the sea.

Their hands and feet were dirty by the mud flats, but they did not affect their determination to protect the scarce natural environment and rare animals in Hainan. In this process, they personally experience the sense of honor as Harrow people and gain friendship through mutual assistance with their peers.

Perhaps it is insignificant for the world, but for the community we are in, you can see the change with your little effort. Harrow students believe that "having knowledge and opportunities at the same time, it also means that we must assume more responsibilities and missions, and give back to society with what we have learned, gained and able to do so."

Music is the common language of the Harrow people and the common language of mankind. In Harrow's whole-person education, music is also a very representative part. There are many students who are good at instrumental performance, band performance and song singing in Harrow.

AISL Harrow School will hold several WE UNITE music celebrations to take this opportunity to demonstrate the value concept of "mutual assistance". students meet their soulmates on the road of growth, cooperate with each other on the stage to bring moving music, respect, support and encourage each other in life, and share their love and pursuit of dreams together.

Before joining Haikou Harrow, Mia once gave up her flute and piano hobbies. The heavy school pressure made her unable to enjoy the pure beauty of music. After arriving at Harrowhead, Mia had more time to practice piano and flute.

Harrow's passionate music teacher rekindled Mia's interest in music. Last year, Mia took the stage for the first time and played the flute in front of all the teachers and students of the school. Her wonderful performance won applause.

In this celebration throughout the year, in the full sense of ritual, "courage, humility, honor, and mutual assistance" was unconsciously embedded in the hearts of every Harrow, taking root and sprouting.

Conclusion

Return to the initial question, what kind of education can help children adapt to society in the next 20 years?

Harrow's answer is: Digest students' inner love, guide them to where they should go, inspire their talents, train them to have excellent qualities, cultivate their sense of collective honor - cultivate a person to become a complete person. No matter what the times are or the world is, they have the ability and domineering in any field.
