01 International Curriculum Launch Ceremony: Embarking on a New Journey

Balancing patriotic sentiment with a global perspective

At the launch ceremony, the principal of Dongguan Yazheng School delivered a speech first, emphasizing the importance of fostering students' sense of patriotism and national pride, while also highlighting the significance of establishing the international class. The principal encouraged all students in the Grade 7 International Class to cherish their current excellent learning conditions, work hard, and eventually step onto the global stage.

In his subsequent remarks, Principal Yang, Supervisor of Yinghua International School, expressed his honor in supporting the curriculum development of the international program at Dongguan Yazheng School, and further emphasized the importance of international education. "The international class allows students to view the world from a broader perspective, helping them cultivate an international mindset and cross-cultural understanding from an early age."

Outstanding faculty team makes its debut

A grand ceremony was held to officially appoint the newly hired foreign English teachers and STEAM educators. The newly appointed teachers expressed their commitment to dedicating themselves fully to delivering high-quality, internationally oriented education that fosters students' holistic development—both academically and in terms of their overall综合素质.

This ceremony was hosted by Principal Peter, the Executive Principal of Yinghua International. In his speech, he pledged: "I will personally step into the classrooms to deliver career-planning lessons, working together with students to thoughtfully map out their futures and ensuring every child’s growth is safely guided."

Teacher-Student Meetup: Warmly Breaking the Ice

After the launch ceremony, foreign teachers and STEAM instructors entered the classrooms for a warm and friendly meet-and-greet with the students. Through engaging icebreaker activities, teachers and students quickly established a positive rapport, laying a solid foundation for the successful implementation of future teaching activities.

02 Normalized Development: Courses Receive Enthusiastic Praise from Students

As the curriculum becomes normalized, students have shown tremendous enthusiasm for learning. Students in the international classes actively participate in classroom activities and eagerly engage in interactive discussions with foreign teachers and instructors.

Many students shared: "The foreign teachers' classes are lively and natural. Although we were initially worried about not understanding, we soon realized that the vocabulary they used was all from what we’ve learned in textbooks. And hearing their authentic British accents feels absolutely magical!" Moreover, several students have even formed deep friendships with their foreign teachers, continuing to stay closely connected even after class.

STEAM courses have also been warmly received by students. In class, students were captivated by the fascinating interplay of electricity and magnetism in the physical world, exclaiming in awe, "It's magical!" This interdisciplinary and hands-on teaching approach has profoundly ignited students' enthusiasm for learning and nurtured their spirit of exploration.

03 Looking Ahead

This collaboration between Zhuhai Yinghua International Education and Dongguan Yazheng School not only provides students with access to high-quality international educational resources but also paves the way for an innovative approach that blends Chinese and Western educational philosophies. Moving forward, both schools will continue to deepen their partnership, constantly refining their curriculum system to contribute to the development of future talents equipped with global competitiveness!
